Gable Digital Solutions, Inc. We are developing an original animated kids series centered on creativity, storytelling, and immersive world-building. To bring vision to life, we are seeking a talented 2D Environment Concept Artist to create visually compelling environments that define the artistic identity and atmosphere of our series.

This is an compelling opportunity to contribute to an international creative production where your designs will directly influence the storytelling experience, emotional tone, and visual depth of the animated world.

Create high-quality concept art for diverse settings, including landscapes, interiors, fantasy worlds, and story-driven locations that align with the creative direction of the series.

Develop cohesive visual environments and storytelling elements that strengthen the narrative and enhance the audience’s connection to the animated universe.

Design environments with a strong understanding of composition, lighting, color, and visual tone to effectively convey mood and emotion.

Produce sketches, exploratory concepts, paint-overs, and finalized environment sheets for use in animation and production pipelines.

Work closely with storyboard artists, character designers, and 3D modelers to ensure consistency and production readiness across all environments.

• A strong portfolio demonstrating environment design, background art, and concept development

• Solid understanding of perspective, composition, lighting, and color theory

• Ability to create stylized and imaginative environments suitable for children’s animation

• Proficiency in digital art tools such as Photoshop, Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, or equivalent

• Ability to maintain consistency within an established art style

• Strong communication skills and reliability in a remote collaborative environment

• Previous experience working on animated series, feature films, or game productions (preferred not mandatory)

• Familiarity with animation background design pipelines

• Basic understanding of 3D environment blocking or tools such as Blender

• Strong visual storytelling and cinematic composition skills

Deferred Compensation Structure (Retroactive Pay Model)

"This role operates under a deferred payment structure, during the initial development phase of the project".

• Rate: $25 per hour

• Tracking: All working hours are tracked and documented from the first day of contribution

• Payment Activation: Compensation will begin once the animated series starts generating revenue through YouTube distribution, licensing, or streaming agreements.

Phase 1 – Development Stage (Deferred Period)

During the early production stage, all work completed will be recorded as payable hours. However, payments will be deferred until the project reaches monetization.

Phase 2 – Revenue Generation Stage

Once the series begins generating income through YouTube ad revenue, sponsorships, distribution partnerships, or streaming deals, all previously logged hours will be paid retroactively based on the agreed hourly rate.

Phase 3 – Active Production Scaling

As revenue stabilizes and production scales, contributors will transition into a direct active-pay structure, where payments are made on an ongoing basis rather than deferred.

Contract-Based Opportunity

A chance to strengthen your portfolio while contributing to a large-scale international animation production.

Future Opportunities

Early contributors will be given priority consideration for long-term salaried positions as the studio scales.

• Be part of an original animated kids series from its foundation

• Play a vital role in shaping the visual world and storytelling experience

• Collaborate with an international team of artists and creatives

• Contribute to a long-term project with strong global growth potential

• Enjoy the flexibility of a fully remote creative workflow
