PlayStation Studios Malaysia (Previously known as SIE Worldwide Studios Malaysia) is now looking for Senior Concept Artists, as the Malaysian chapter of the PlayStation’s first-party studios ramps up work on the next big titles for the PlayStation systems.
The opening was posted to LinkedIn as well as their website, with PlayStation Studios saying that the position was open to anyone with more than 5 years of experience in the concept artist field, inclusive of freelance work.
It should be noted that unlike some other positions, they make no mention of a shipped title requirement, so its’ a good jumping on point for freelance artists who want their big break in the games industry.
The position is based in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, and there’s been no mention on whether it would be on a Work-from-home basis given the current Covid-19 climate.
Tools
According to the listing, applicants will need to have knowledge of Photoshop, and their day-to-day will focus on making 2d art as well as design mock-up. While 3D sculpting isn’t necessary for the job, it’s listed as a big advantage. No specific software was listed for this, so it looks like it’s more about the knowledge than any particular program.
Responsibilities
As a Senior Concept Artist, PlayStation Studios Malaysia is looking for more than just the ability to draw well. The studio has stated that part of the job would involve being a mentor to more junior concept artists, and contributing to the team as a whole.
