Senior Fx Artist Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At Bellota Labs, we’re building the future of online poker with ClubWPT Gold — a skill-based, strategy-driven platform from the World Poker Tour. This isn’t just another casino app — it’s a competitive ecosystem where players learn, train, and play to win real prizes.

We’re looking for a Senior / Principal Game Artist to help define the visual identity of our games and player experiences. This role is focused on creating world-class concept art, game assets, UI visuals, environments, characters, FX, and polished production-ready artwork that elevates the player experience across our platform.

This is a high-impact role for an artist who thrives at the intersection of creativity, gameplay, and modern AI-assisted workflows. You’ll work closely with product, design, engineering, and leadership teams to shape the visual future of Bellota Labs while helping us ship high-quality content at startup speed.

Design and produce compelling concept art, in-game assets, environments, UI elements, promotional visuals, icons, FX, and other production-ready artwork that aligns with our visual direction and gameplay goals.

Help establish and maintain a cohesive art direction across our products, balancing visual polish, readability, performance, and player engagement.

Partner closely with product managers, game designers, engineers, and marketing teams to bring gameplay features and player experiences to life.

Help improve art production workflows and pipelines that allow the team to move quickly without sacrificing quality or consistency.

Use modern AI tools to accelerate ideation, concept exploration, reference generation, iteration, and production workflows. This may include tools such as Midjourney, Firefly, Stable Diffusion, Runway, ChatGPT, and other emerging creative technologies.

Take artwork through the full production lifecycle — from early exploration and concepting through final implementation and polish inside the game engine.

Create artwork that directly impacts player engagement, retention, immersion, and overall product quality.

Champion artistic excellence and continuously push for higher-quality visuals, stronger visual storytelling, and more polished player experiences.
