Role: 3D Weapon Artist (Hero Asset) — Contract / Freelance
Studio: Tigerroll Studios
Project: The Freeblades (Unreal Engine 5)
Location: Remote
Tigerroll Studios is a small indie team building The Freeblades — a co-op, dungeon-adventure RPG set in a gritty, low-fantasy medieval world, with souls-like combat and infinitely scaling dungeons. (Wishlist us on Steam — link below.)
We're commissioning the first of a series of hero magical weapons: an engraved one-handed sword whose Latin and geometric etchings glow when the blade is activated — a medieval take on a lightsaber. We're looking for an artist to own this asset end-to-end.
The work
We handle the glow logic, particle effects, lighting and gameplay integration. You own the mesh, bake, textures and clean import. Source files included; one revision round in scope.
You'll be a fit if
This is a paid commission at hero-asset quality. It's also a foot in the door — we have a pipeline of further hero weapons planned, and this is the chance to become our go-to artist for them.

We're a small UK studio with serious ambitions — building deep Soulslike and Scapelike multiplayer games that reward mastery. We hire for technical excellence and a genuine love of the craft.
Why join Tigerroll
A studio worth building with. We fund our own games and answer to players, not investors. That means real ownership, creative freedom and the space to build something worth remembering.
Indie isn't for everyone — and that's okay. We're a small self-funded team with no publisher — which means we can't match big-studio salaries, but it also means no investors dictating design and no committee watering down your work. We want craftspeople driven by technical excellence and a genuine love of the genre, not the size of the paycheck. We'd rather be upfront about that than oversell it.
