Senior Concept Artist

Senior Concept Artist

Epic is looking for a Senior Concept Artist to join the Rocket League team. This is a role for someone who understands that great concept art isn't just beautiful, it solves problems. You'll be responsible for the visual vocabulary that shapes arena, seasonal events, and major visual systems, ensuring the work feels premium, intentional, and unmistakably Rocket League.
Working alongside the Art Director and leads, you'll translate creative briefs into explorations, explorations into direction, and direction into something production can build from while keeping the visual language of the game tight and coherent across a live service that never slows down.
In this role, you will:
Generate concept work across the full spectrum of Rocket League content — cars, cosmetics, arenas, environments, UI elements, and seasonal events
Work closely with the Art Director and leads to explore visual directions and push ideas until the right answer is clear
Produce clean, buildable production concepts that give 3D Artists, Environment Artists, and Technical Artists exactly what they need to execute proportions, materials, and clear construction intent
Support live service content cadence; you'll be comfortable working at speed without sacrificing craft or cohesion
Maintain and evolve the visual language of Rocket League across new features and collaborations, including licensed IP and real-world brand partnerships
Contribute to world-building and visual framing for seasonal themes, arenas, and key moments
What we're looking for:
5+ years of concept art experience in games on shipped titles, with a portfolio showing range across hard surface, vehicles, organic environments, and stylized design
Proficiency in Photoshop, Procreate, or equivalent ability to demonstrate process, not just results
Strong foundational skills: color theory, value, silhouette; you can articulate why a design works, not just make one that does
Experience producing clean, buildable production concepts that translate clearly into 3D
A problem-solver first: you can generate a wide range of reads on a brief before locking direction, and you know when to stop exploring
Comfortable working within an established visual style while still finding room to push and evolve it
Direct communicator you give and receive feedback without mystery or ego
Bonus: Background in live service cosmetics pipelines or high-volume seasonal content
Experience designing for licensed IP or real-world brand collaborations
Ability to create rough 3D blockouts or paint over 3D models as part of your design process
