Hire the best character illustrators

A Character Illustrator is a 2D artist who creates polished, final artwork of specific characters for use in promotional materials, book covers, or merchandising. Responsibilities include:

• Illustrating dynamic "Splash Art" for video game loading screens.
• Painting detailed character portraits for Dungeons & Dragons players.
• Creating standalone merchandising art of established IP characters.

Character Illustrators use high-end digital painting software. Key tools include:

• Adobe Photoshop (For complex rendering and photobashing).
• Procreate (For sketching and line art).
• Anatomy and Dynamic Posing (Foreshortening).
• Material Rendering (Painting realistic metal, leather, cloth).

While a Character Designer explores and invents the concept and clothing of a brand new character (The Blueprint), a Character Illustrator takes that finished design and paints a highly polished, dramatic action shot of them (The Photograph).
