Job description

Studio Jadu is a next generation animation studio founded by ex-TikTok and ex-YouTube leadership team and backed by Khosla Ventures. We are building an end-to-end production-to-distribution model powered by a hybrid workflow where humans control the AI, harnessing the best of both worlds and keeping creative decision-making firmly in the hands of human artists. Studio Jadu’s operations are based in California, Zurich and Bangalore.

The Role

This role is for a visionary who understands that in the future of animation production, a concept artist is a Style Orchestrator. You will be responsible for high-level visual development, creating robust character sheets and environment bibles that serve as the foundation for our AI-powered production engine.


Key Responsibilities

  • Style Definition: Develop and define the aesthetic for each show, merging classic anime style sensibilities with modern, global visual trends.
  • Character & Asset Design: Create detailed postures, expression sheets, and costume designs that are AI-ready.
  • World Building: Paint evocative environment keys and 'mood boards' that define the lighting, color theory, and atmospheric depth of our IPs.
  • Model Guidance: Collaborate with our technical team to provide 'Gold Standard' imagery used to fine-tune our custom AI tools and models.
  • Rapid Prototyping: Use a mix of traditional digital painting and AI-assisted sketching to rapidly iterate on blue-sky ideas.
  • IP Consistency: Ensure that visual logic remains consistent across a series, from the architecture of a city to the specific 'glow' of a magic system.
  • Create Storyboards with an understanding of how AI tools interpret staging, composition and perspective.


Who You Are

  • You have an expert level grasp of anatomy, perspective, and color theory. You can draw off-model just as easily as you can follow a style guide.
  • You have a deep appreciation for the history of anime style art—from the grit of 90s original video animation to the clean, digital sheen of modern hits.
  • You don't fear AI;
    you use it as a brush. You are interested in (or already using) Generative AI tools to speed up your ideation process.
  • You understand that for AI to remain consistent, the concept art must be precise. You think in terms of 'Visual Logic'.
  • You don't just draw objects;
    you draw stories. Everycharacter’s outfit or environment’s decay tells the audience who they are.


Technical Requirements

  • Expert proficiency in Photoshop or Procreate.
  • Experience creating Model Sheets and Production Bibles.
