Join Amberlight Studio

Amberlight Studio is building a small, reliable roster of senior-level game artists for AAA and AA projects. We work fully remotely with vetted contractors using secure, licensed setups. If you're an experienced artist who cares about quality, consistency, and good communication, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Join Amberlight?

AAA Art Direction

You'll receive guidance from a AAA Lead Environment Artist, keeping quality high and helping you push your craft.

Clear Communication

We keep communication simple, direct, and organised. You get clear briefs, structured milestones, quick responses, and no mixed messages.

Remote & Flexible

Remote, flexible work across multiple studios and projects.

Realistic Scopes

We only take on work we can deliver properly. That means no impossible deadlines, no unclear tasks, and no pressure to rush quality.

Boutique Culture

A boutique, warm studio culture we keep the team small, talented and respectful.

You stay independent

Joining the roster doesn't block you from taking other freelance or studio work. You get opportunities, not restrictions.
