Surfacing Artist

A studio is seeking mid-level and senior Surfacing Artists to help create the visual finish for a high-profile animated series. This role focuses on building the surface appearance of characters, props, and environments so they feel believable, detailed, and aligned with the show’s art direction. You will create textures and materials that support a stylized, hand-painted look, using strong painting skills and a sharp eye for color, form, and material behavior. The work involves interpreting reference, translating it into effective surface treatment, and maintaining consistency across a wide range of assets. You will also adjust shader setups as needed, with attention to both quality and rendering efficiency. This position requires close collaboration with modelers, lighting, look development, and production leadership to refine asset appearance and deliver polished results on schedule. Mid-level candidates should bring several years of relevant production experience and be able to work independently with limited supervision. Senior candidates should have deeper experience with complex assets, optimization, and mentoring junior artists. Professional experience with common 3D texturing tools is required, along with strong traditional art skills and a solid understanding of color and design. Familiarity with look development is an advantage, and modeling experience is a plus. Applicants must be legally eligible to work in British Columbia. The role offers a flexible hybrid setup, competitive pay, and standard benefits.
