On the Real-Time VFX team at Riot, we design and implement the sleek, dynamic and dramatic visual effects that represent gameplay and add atmosphere to the world of League of Legends. We use our experience to create aesthetically astounding visual effects that communicate essential game information and personify the characters and skins we create. League of Legends has a diverse roster of powerful champions with a vast range of abilities, from cosmic dragons to undead warlords and our universe is full of creative potential.
As a Senior VFX Artist on the PIE (Player Immersion & Expression) team, you’ll use your artistic and technical skills to create stunning visual effects. You will bring your 2D painting skills and your experience in realtime VFX to provide some light art direction, such as VFX concepts and mood boards. Understanding art style as a whole, in order to communicate effectively with 2D and 3D teams, you will be required to give paint-overs to help guide other VFX artists across PIE and train concept artists to create assets that can be used by the VFX discipline. Effects may vary from champion skin abilities to emotes, sight wards, and just about any other variety of VFX assets that will go into League. You will work with Product Leads, Delivery Leads, team members, and the Art Director to stay aligned on vision and priorities, reporting to the VFX Art Lead. You will participate in VFX feedback, training, and mentorship with teammates and contribute to craft review sessions. You will find success by understanding the connection between the League of Legends Alternate Universe narratives and their power sources and how that ties to in-game visuals.
