Pixel Mafia

Pixel Mafia is a Philippines-based external-development art studio focused on visual content for AAA video games, interactive real-time media and cinematic CGI. Founded in 2016, the company supports console, PC and mobile productions with 2D and 3D art, technical art and production-facing services.

Its content-creation work spans concept art for environments, characters, creatures, vehicles, props, user interfaces and marketing imagery. The studio also produces environment sets, modular kits, foliage and in-engine level assets; high- and low-poly characters, creatures, skins, hair and cloth props; and hard-surface work such as weapons, mechanical assets and vehicles. Rigging and game-engine integration complement its asset-development capabilities.

Production support

Alongside art creation, Pixel Mafia provides production management and technical consulting for external-development partners. Its services include schedule coordination, milestone tracking, budget management, art-pipeline oversight, pipeline setup and optimization, and cross-studio collaboration protocols. The team works with real-time workflows and game engines including Unreal Engine and Unity, using tools such as Autodesk Maya, 3ds Max, ZBrush, Substance Painter and Photoshop.
