The posting

Riot Games was established in 2006 by entrepreneurial gamers who believe that player-focused game development can result in great games. In 2009, Riot released its debut title League of Legends to critical and player acclaim. As the most played video game in the world, over 100 million play every month. Players form the foundation of our community and it’s for them that we continue to evolve and improve the League of Legends experience.

We’re looking for humble but ambitious, razor-sharp professionals who can teach us a thing or two. We promise to return the favor. Like us, you take play seriously; you’re passionate about games. We embrace those who see things differently, aren’t afraid to experiment, and who have a healthy disregard for constraints.

That's where you come in.

As an Illustration Artist at Riot, you will play an important role in delivering high-quality card illustrations for Riftbound. Working closely with the Art Director, Senior Illustration Artist, and cross-disciplinary partners, you will help guide card art from concept through final, print-ready delivery.

You will review artwork, provide clear and actionable feedback, and create paintovers to help external artists strengthen composition, color, storytelling, and overall execution. Drawing on a strong understanding of illustration fundamentals and visual storytelling, you will help maintain Riftbound’s quality bar and contribute to creating memorable imagery within the League of Legends universe.

Working within the constraints of physical trading card production, you will apply your knowledge of print processes, color management, and readability to help ensure artwork reproduces beautifully and consistently. You will collaborate with designers and visual designers to ensure illustrations support gameplay needs and work well with frames, typography, and other graphic elements. Reporting to the game’s Art Director, you will work within established creative direction and art briefs while partnering with external artists and internal teams to deliver polished, compelling card art.

Responsibilities

  • Support outsourcing processes by helping review incoming artwork, communicate feedback, track revisions, and ensure external artists have the visual direction and resources needed to deliver high-quality work.
  • Create paintovers, drawovers, and visual references to clearly communicate art direction and help artists solve visual challenges
  • Apply strong illustration fundamentals, including composition, anatomy, lighting, color, perspective, and visual storytelling
  • Work closely with the Art Director and Senior Illustration Artist to execute Riftbound’s established illustration direction
  • Help maintain consistency and quality across card artwork while identifying opportunities to strengthen individual illustrations
  • Ensure card art supports gameplay clarity, mechanics, and readability in partnership with game designers
  • Work with visual designers to ensure illustrations complement frames, typography, and other graphic elements
  • Review artwork for polish, consistency, and fidelity to the League of Legends IP
  • Work within established art briefs and creative direction while helping external artists achieve the intended vision
  • Apply knowledge of print production, color management, and physical card constraints to help deliver print-ready artwork
  • Collaborate with producers, designers, external artists, and other disciplines to deliver artwork on schedule

Required Qualifications

  • 4+ years of professional experience in illustration or a related creative discipline
  • Strong foundation in illustration fundamentals, including anatomy, composition, perspective, lighting, color theory, and visual storytelling
  • Strong drawing and painting skills, with the ability to create effective paintovers and visual feedback

Don’t forget to include a resume and cover letter. We receive a lot of applications, but we’ll notice a fun, well-written intro that shows us you take play seriously.

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes the delight of players. We will be looking at your past studies, experience, and your personal relationship with games. If you embody player empathy and care about players' experiences, this could be your role!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
