Freelance DMP / Concept Artists - Expression of Interest

Black Kite is an independent creative studio offering world class visual effects and design.

We are a talent first technology inspired studio.

Our community is home to a collective of world-class talent. A group of artists, creators, designers, producers and technologists that have come together to make exceptional artistic visual content.

THE ROLE

We're expanding our freelance roster for DMP.

We’re looking for fast, creative Digital Matte Painters (DMP) with strong Concept Art skills to join our roster for upcoming short-form commercial projects.

If you thrive on fast turnarounds and can seamlessly integrate traditional DMP/concept art techniques with modern generative AI tools, we want to hear from you.

What we’re looking for:

  • Hybrid DMP / Concept Skillset: Expert in Photoshop with a strong background in photo-real matte painting paired with the speed to quickly iterate concept designs.

  • Commercial Pace: Proven experience delivering high-end visuals under tight commercial deadlines.

  • Modern AI Toolkits: Hands-on experience incorporating GenAI tools (ComfyUI, Figma Weave, Krea, or similar) into your workflow.

  • Pipeline Knowledge: Understanding of VFX pipeline colourspace is a strong advantage.

  • 3D & Industry Applications: Knowledge of industry-standard applications (Nuke, Houdini, Maya, Unreal Engine, etc.) is an advantage, though not essential.

Work Setup: Remote / Short-turnaround, project-based freelance. Ideal for agile artists who can hit the ground running.
