Sickhead Games is looking for an artist! Meetup at IGC...

Yep, we need a talented individual looking to get in on the ground floor of an up-and-coming indie game studio. Interested? Meet up with us at IndieGamesCon in Eugene next week...

Sickhead Games, maker of TGB Adventure Kit and Torsion IDE, is a small, fulltime, indie game studio 5 years running, currently concentrating on development tools, simulations, various contract work, and prototyping games for the Torque game engines. There are no CEOs or marketing guys... everyone at Sickhead works directly on the games and has an equal voice and creative influence in all our projects. Currently, our workload dictates that we bring on a second 3D artist to help keep up with some exciting short- and long-term projects.

Who we're looking for...

We are currently seeking a jack-of-all-trades game artist with strong animation skills to be employee number five. Indies wear a lot of hats, and ideally we need a talented individual with good modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation skills, who's familiar with mesh-to-normal map pipelines, and who preferably has experience creating art for TGE or TGEA. Must be comfortable working in 3DS Max, familiarity with Zbrush is a big plus. This is a fulltime, permanent position that requires the employee to work on-site in our Dallas, Texas offices. Some financial assistance available for relocation.


The position will become available at the end of October, but with IGC coming soon, we thought it would be a great opportunity to meet with interested individuals on a less formal basis. So if you're even slightly interested, please drop us a line at biz@sickheadgames.com so we can meet up for a drink (or coffee) and get acquainted. And if you're interested, but not attending IGC, drop us a line anyway. We've got a position to fill and we want to hear from you!
