In this role you will be responsible for producing great quality commercial artwork that celebrates Warhammer’s thrilling characters, settings and stories. Your work will be used on novel covers across Black Library’s fiction ranges, and in art-led and premium products, including our growing range of art and background books.
Highly creative and with a deep visual understanding of the Warhammer IP, we will look to you to produce visually engaging, detailed and IP-accurate artwork based on a brief.
