Senior World Artist - Lakshya Digital

Senior World Artist

Established in 2004, Lakshya Digital - a Keywords Studio - is the largest interactive entertainment and game development services studio in South Asia. Our main production studios are in India, and we maintain satellite studios in Europe, North America, and Japan.
We're looking for a Senior World Artist to lead the delivery of high-quality environments for an exciting sports/racing title being developed in Unity.
Working closely with the client's internal team, you'll take ownership of transforming grey-box levels into visually rich, performant game environments. Acting as both an artist and a project lead, you'll define the artistic approach, plan the work, produce clear briefs for an external art team, and oversee assets through to final implementation.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys balancing artistic quality with practical production, ensuring environments are delivered efficiently, on budget, and to the highest technical standards.
What You'll Do

Review grey-box levels and develop a clear artistic vision that supports gameplay, readability, and the overall visual direction.
Break environments into achievable work packages and produce accurate estimates for asset creation and implementation.
Create comprehensive asset briefs, including reference, technical specifications, modular requirements, and quality expectations.
Work closely with production to plan, prioritise, and track environment deliverables.
Guide and review the work of a distributed team of environment artists, providing clear feedback to ensure consistent quality.
Oversee the implementation of environment assets within Unity, ensuring they integrate cleanly with existing systems and workflows.
Drive optimisation throughout production, balancing visual quality with performance, memory, and production cost.
Collaborate with designers, technical artists, and engineers to resolve artistic and technical challenges.
Identify opportunities to maximise asset reuse, modularity, and efficient production workflows.
Maintain documentation, pipelines, and best practices to support consistent delivery across the team.
