Every cosmetic in Xero starts with a concept.
We need Concept Artists who can design costumes, weapon skins
and full bundles that our 3D artists then bring to life.
Beyond shop content, Concept Artists also take on standalone work: designing entirely new weapons, visualizing map environments once layouts are finalized and similar creative tasks. These are paid on a commission basis.
This is freelance work. No contracts, no fixed hours.
You take on work when it's available and get paid per release or per task.
Our art style is hand-painted, not photorealistic.
Shop content: You receive 5% of net revenue during the first release cycle (typically one week).
The Cosmetic Artist receives 35%. Revenue from subsequent re-releases is not included.
Non-shop content (event rewards, challenges, internal work) is paid as a fixed price agreed before production.
Map work: When providing visual direction for a map,
the total map budget is split among the three pipeline roles.
Map Designer: 15%
Concept Artist: 15%
Map Artist: 70%
A popularity bonus based on player engagement may also apply.
Terms may change in the future, but anything already agreed upon stays as-is.
Submit original concept art for a hypothetical cosmetic bundle.
- At least one costume (male or female) with front and back views
- At least one weapon skin
- Close-up callouts for details that aren't readable at full scale
- Color palette and material notes
- A short rationale for your design choices
Xero's costume system is mix-and-match — players swap individual body parts
(head, top, bottom, gloves, shoes) and combine pieces from different sets.
Keep this in mind when designing. Each piece should look complete on its own
and not depend on another part of the set to work visually.
Work must be hand-drawn or digitally painted.
No 3D renders, no photobashing. AI use is strictly forbidden.
Include your source files (PSD, SAI, CLIP, or equivalent) alongside your finished images.
Explain your workflow and tools and tell us about your background as a concept artist.
