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?

Benefits of Joining the Roster

  • Access to better fit opportunities
    Be considered for projects aligned with your craft and experience, rather than competing in a generic open marketplace.

​

  • Senior led direction and oversight
    Work within a structured setup with clear expectations, feedback, and quality control.

​

  • Clear communication
    Amberlight handles the client-facing communication and keeps briefs, milestones, and reviews organised.

​

  • A selective roster
    We’re keeping the network intentionally limited, so the right artists are easier to match to the right work.​​

​

  • Flexible freelance fit
    Joining the roster does not lock you into exclusivity. It is designed to work alongside your wider freelance career, so you can still take on other projects when availability allows.

  • AA and AAA focused production support
    Opportunities are aimed at game teams that need dependable, production-ready art support.

​

  • Respect for your time
    The goal is to make collaboration clearer, calmer, and more professional, with realistic expectations around delivery.

​

  • Studio managed workflow
    Scope, review rounds, and handoff are managed through Amberlight, helping reduce unnecessary friction.

​

  • Longer term potential
    While joining the roster does not guarantee immediate work, it creates the foundation for future collaborations as projects land.

​

  • Remote friendly opportunities
    Amberlight is built around a flexible, distributed studio model, making it easier to collaborate remotely where projects allow.
