Here at Spellbrush , we're passionate about making a good anime game.

We also happen to be the world's leading generative AI studio — we're the team behind niji・journey.

We are currently investigating how AI can be used to help human artists perform masterpieces in the most complex medium of our times: videogames.

Our games are characterized by a no-compromise approach to well-balanced gameplay married to a truthful love of visual arts.

If you love turn-based tactics games, please consider applying!

The Role:

Spellbrush, the world’s leading generative AI studio behind_ niji・journey __ , _ is looking for a pixel artist to imbue our next mobile turn-based tactics game with an aesthetic that flows from the nostalgic to the novel! Inspired by games like Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics, we’re excited to hire a 2D animator to create sprites and other assets that will define an unparalleled gaming experience.

What you’ll do:

*

Design original pixel art for all of the different assets (sprites, weapons, effects, animations, etc.) for our upcoming turn-based tactics mobile game.
\

*

Refine and reinterpret characters, using state-of-the-art tools such as [\_ **niji・journey** \_](\"https://nijijourney.com/\")\_ **,** \_ in order to ensure that all the animations in-game are up to our high-quality standards. Proficiency with AI is not required! We can teach you how to use it to enhance (not replace) your workflows!
\

*

Follow established protocols and effective communication standards to manage file structure, project organization, and version control.
\

You might be a great fit if:

*

**You want to push the boundaries of the pixel art style.**  
\You live and breathe pixels, understanding the way they can interplay and enhance a game’s aesthetic when blended and layered with assets from other art styles. Critics said that pixel is a dying art? We’ll prove those naysayers wrong!
\

*

**You have a folder full of old pixel art projects.**  
\We want someone who loves drawing pixel art so much that you have multiple folders of pixel art projects (preferably made with games in mind).
\

*

**Inspired by retro games, you want to trailblaze a new age of classics**  
\Nostalgia is a deadly medicine, and we are looking for someone who believes in the beauty of the old while embracing the new.
\

*

**The anime aesthetic resonates with you.**  
\It's no secret – we're huge anime enthusiasts. A deep understanding of audiences who enjoy anime, mobile gacha games, and turn-based tactics games is critical to build successful connectivity across our marketing channels.
\

*

**You're comfortable working on small, fast-paced, on-site teams**  
\Working here will feel very much like a small indie studio: close-knit, with high ownership and flexibility. We’re also an in-person studio. Our games team is at our office in downtown San Francisco, CA, 3-4x a week!
\

*

**And you're excited about the potential of Generative AI.**  
\You'll also be working closely with some of the best AI researchers in the world: we develop all our own in-house models. You won’t be using Generative AI simply as a vehicle for producing cheap assets - we simply don’t believe that is an effective workflow. You’ll be working with the research team to explore the frontier of what is possible at the intersection of machine learning, art, and games.
\
