Job Description

Job Overview Wargaming Belgrade is looking for a creative 2D Artist who thrives on variety, enjoys early-stage visual development, and sees constraints as an opportunity for innovation. In this role, creativity is your strongest asset. You will explore visual directions, develop concepts, and shape the mood and atmosphere of in-game events and marketing initiatives from the earliest stages. Our 2D Art team is responsible for the visual identity of the World of Warships franchise, creating everything from marketing key art and in-game store graphics to client-facing content, backgrounds, animatics, and skins. While our visual style is grounded in realistic naval art, built on photobash and 3D foundations, we're looking for someone who can bring fresh ideas and a strong artistic vision. You will take creative ownership of complex tasks, develop visual solutions from scratch, collaborate closely with Art Directors, and help shape the creative direction of our projects. Reports to 2D Team Lead

What will you do?

• Illustrations: create high-quality promotional illustrations, produce polished art for in-game shops and publishing, including loading screens, banners, previews, event backgrounds, and special offer images
• Visual Development: early sketches for events and marketing campaigns. Some skins concepts (in case of ships it’s a mix of hard surf and environment concept art)
• Workflow Execution: utilize photobash, matte painting, and 3D renders (Blender) to build detailed, realistic scenes with ships, environments, and props. Most often, 3D models will be provided by the 3D team
• Creative Ownership: take full ownership of your work from the sketch phase to final polish, with minimal guidance and strong attention to detail
• In-House Collaboration: prepare sketches and concept drafts to pass to teammates for further refinement. Work closely with the Art Director, publishing teams, and other departments to propose visual solutions and ensure alignment
• Problem Solving: identify design challenges quickly and propose creative, practical solutions during art reviews and collaborative meetings
