We’ve got a new job opening for a Production Artist here at Fire Hose! Are you in the Boston area and looking for a new gig? Drop us a line! Here’s the description (also on our jobs page).

Production Artist: The ideal candidate would have some PS3 or 360 experience though that’s not required. Should be excellent at 3D modeling and texturing both characters and environments. We’re a 3DS Max house, so I hope you’re up to speed on that. Rigging and animation skills a big plus. You should be good at working in a small team and able to crank out amazing, top quality art assets.

Tired of working for a big studio that doesn’t appreciate the work that you do? Were you caught in one of the recent rounds of layoffs? Do you know you could be a terrific leader given the chance? Do you want to join the indie revolution and make awesome games that are a ton of fun and not just some run-of-the-mill shooter?

Then apply to us! We’ve got an opening for an art director and we want to get a new superstar to join our team. Want the details? HERE THEY ARE MY FRIEND.

We’re looking for an artist with 3+ years of experience making console video games, specifically with the PS3 and/or Xbox 360. Strong proficiency with 3DS Max, Photoshop, and Illustrator required (bonus if you know Maya, After Effects, and of course MS Paint). Animation, 3D modeling, and character skills should be exceptional. We would prefer if you’re also great at environmental work and 2D illustrating/concepting, but the 3D stuff is more important. Moreover we need someone who can manage a small 2-3 person art team and make sure that everyone is producing shipping quality assets and working efficiently.
