Do you have an interest in creating fantastic worlds such as one that exist within the World of Warcraft? Perhaps your true passion lies within the creation of breathtaking cinematics such as the ones in Diablo II and the upcoming Warcraft III?

Blizzard Entertainment is actively searching the gaming world for passionate artists who have a flare for color, an eye for detail and a love for games. Look interesting? Well check out the positions we have below. We just may surprise you on how easy it is to join the Blizzard team!

Interior Texture Artist - What kind of position is this you say? These are the artists who create the beautiful, fantasy worlds that immerse you deep into the game. From the eerie, dark halls of Diablo to the vine-entangled temples within Warcraft, this job is for anyone who is good at painting and illustration.

Modeler/Texture Artist - This position is similar to the one above, except these artists actually build the three-dimensional models before they paint them. These Artists build the entire world, creating the models of majestic oaks, towering castles and snarling dragons! Having the interest to make cool stuff with programs such as 3D Studio Max is the key to this position.

Character Animator - This position is for the artists who are keen on understanding the realistic movement of knights galloping on horseback and Space Marines trudging across an alien landscape. Animators are people that bring the models and textures to life.

Technical Cinematic Artist - These are artists that are more like Technical Directors for film studios, pushing the limit of technology to help create cutting edge, computer graphic movies. Technical artists set up the shot, run simulations and write scripts and code to create truly original shots.

Cinematic Animator - These guys can do all the cool stuff related to creating awesome cinematic art!. From set up, modeling and texturing, to animation, lighting and composition, Cinematic Animators have the skill and passion to finish the shot and get it ready to show.

"If you have the interest and a little work to show us, then we want to check it out!"

With such a large group of extremely talented and skilled artists on DeviantArt, I figure anyone who hasn't seen this yet, should.
