Freelance VFX Artist

// REQUIRED SKILLS
**Responsibilities**
I am looking for a freelance VFX artist to create stylized combat effects for an indie MMORPG made in UE5 by a small 2-person team.
The work includes spell VFX, slash effects, auras, smoke, hit impacts, AoE effects, and other gameplay-related effects.
The art direction is stylized/anime-inspired, close to Genshin Impact in terms of readability and visual quality, with a Japanese-inspired fantasy theme.
I may need around 80 VFX in total, but I would like to start with a small paid test or a first batch before scaling up
**Qualifications**
Experience creating real-time VFX for games, ideally in Unreal Engine / Niagara.
Comfortable with stylized or anime-inspired effects.
Able to work from references and adapt to an existing art direction.
Freelance availability and clear pricing per effect or per batch.
**How to Apply**
Please send your portfolio, pricing/rates, availability. I will not reply to Discord messages without a portfolio.
