2D Game Artist

Design

2D Game Artists produce every visual asset players see in a mobile or casual game — character sprites, environment tiles, UI chrome, HUD elements, and the animation frames that bring them to life. In India, the role sits at the intersection of the mobile-casual explosion (Moonfrog Labs, Junglee Games, Octro, Nazara Technologies, Mech Mocha) and a growing indie freelance economy on ArtStation. Day-to-day work oscillates between high-craft concept art that defines a game's visual language and production-line sprite-sheet assembly that must hit precise performance budgets — texture atlases packed under 2048×2048, mipmaps verified, PVRTC/ASTC compression tested on actual Android devices. The path in is almost entirely portfolio-driven: a tight ArtStation book of game-ready character sprites, one Spine 2D rigged character, and a packaged UI kit outweighs any formal degree in most Indian studio hiring rounds.
