Posted September 15, 2026 Freelance United Kingdom Remote £2-5k ‍ Tabula Rasa is a roguelite deckbuilder set in an elegant monochrome world punctuated by vivid elemental colour. We’re looking for a UI artist to help define a clean, stylish, and highly readable visual language for this complex tactical game. ‍We’re looking for UK-based candidates, due to contracting, tax, and funding considerations.‍ ‍ Key Challenges

Making the complex gameplay systems legible
Creating a stylish and distinctive feel while remaining elegant and clear
Grouping and presenting information with a clear hierarchy
Defining an elemental colour palette that doesn’t look busy or discordant

‍

Artistic Overview

Tabula Rasa is a 3D game with an angled top-down view that gives the player a full view of the current hexagonal combat grid (or non-combat "encounter"). Character scale on screen is therefore fairly small. Each encounter is a diorama surrounded by a dense but minimal environment that varies by biome - for example it could be a dense forest, a sprawling factory, or something more abstract like a misty void.‍ ‍ ‍ Scope of Work In this first phase, you will be responsible for designing and creating a mock UI based on a comprehensive style guide and the existing game prototype, which will be layered over concept art to allow us to evaluate our planned visual direction. A successful engagement will lead to further work refining the mockups into a complete UI design, ready for us to implement in-engine.‍ ‍ ‍Selection Criteria We are looking for an experienced UI artist who can deliver a bold UI design that simultaneously injects substantial personality and style into our game, while also making the complex gameplay concepts easier for players to digest.

‍ Timeline We aim to commence work ASAP, with deliverables completed around the end of October. However, for the right candidate we have the flexibility to extend these timescales. ‍ Budget This is a short-term freelance engagement. Depending on agreed scope and deliverables, we expect a budget in the region of £2-5k, paid on a contract/invoice basis. We expect the budget for this phase to depend on the proposed level of fidelity.
