🎬 Full-time | Remote freelance within ±2h of Budapest (CET) The start date for new joiners will be in March/April 2026.

DIGIC Pictures has been making 3D animated films for more than twenty years. We have won numerous prestigious awards and created short films for world-renowned brands such as Call of Duty, Netflix's Love, Death & Robots and Amazon's Secret Level series.

Our team is currently working on several high-profile projects, including the animated film series based on the world-famous card game Magic: The Gathering for Netflix.

DIGIC is looking for talented artists to bring the stylized fantasy world of Magic: The Gathering Netflix series to life. We are seeking a highly skilled Concept Artist/Matte Painter/Illustrator with a mastery of digital painting to join our Art Department for the project. This is a specialized role focused on the final Paintover Pass - the bridge between technical compositing and our unique, "painterly" visual signature.

• Perform high-quality digital paintovers on composited shots to achieve a specific "painterly" look.
• Maintain a strict efficiency standard.
• Seamlessly integrate hand-painted textures, edge treatments, and lighting accents into 3D environments.
• Collaborate with the Art Director to ensure stylistic consistency across the episode.
• Adapt your workflow between Photoshop (for 2D/2.5D work) and Nuke (for 3D projection painting) as required by the shot’s complexity.

• You have a deep understanding of traditional art fundamentals - lighting, color theory, and most importantly, visible brushwork and texture.
• You are comfortable working in an Animation pipeline.
• Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop is a must.
• You thrive in an environment where you have to make impactful artistic decisions quickly. You know where to place a stroke for maximum effect without over-working the frame.
• You can mimic an established art style and maintain that "hand-crafted" feel across various lighting conditions and environments.

• Experience working on AAA cinematics, feature animation, or game cinematics, 1-2 years experience is preferred.
• Experience with Nuke’s 3D painting tools is nice to have.

• Unique, high-profile stylised projects
• Freelance contract
• Full-time (40 hrs/week) remote work
• A collaborative, world-class team
