Role Title: Digital Artist

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote - US only

our partner is engaging Digital Artists to contribute their creative and technical expertise to a unique project focused on evaluating and enhancing AI-generated images. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. This opportunity is ideal for those who excel in visual analysis, detailed critique, and clear communication, leveraging both original creations and digital photography skills to advance the state of AI image modeling.

Scope of Work

  • Upload your own original digital images or photographs in line with provided project specifications.
  • Conduct side-by-side evaluations of your artwork against AI-generated counterparts, documenting every visible difference and deviation.
  • Identify and articulate issues related to anatomy, color, lighting, perspective, texture, and fine detail.
  • Detect and describe common AI artifacts, including warped anatomy, smeared or broken textures, inconsistent shadows, and irregular reflections or text.
  • Compose concise, visually precise written feedback using industry-standard terminology to describe each flaw, referencing specific locations within images.
  • Deliver thorough, methodical reviews, prioritizing accuracy and visual detail over speed to maintain consistent quality across all assignments.
  • Collaborate with project coordinators and other contributors to ensure comprehensive image assessment and feedback alignment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Located in the United States, with valid authorization to contract within the country.
  • Minimum of 2 years’ experience in digital art, retouching, compositing, 3D rendering, graphic design, color grading, or photography, with a portfolio of original works.
  • Proficiency in image editing and creation tools such as Photoshop, Lightroom, Procreate, Blender, or similar platforms.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with emphasis on descriptive and technical visual vocabulary.
  • Demonstrated ability to detect subtle differences and accurately identify artifacts unique to AI-generated images.
  • Basic understanding of AI image generation processes and knowledge of typical failure points (e.g., Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Firefly, Flux experience is a plus).
  • Experience in image evaluation, data annotation, or quality assurance in creative or technical projects is advantageous.

This is a 100% remote contract role. Applicants must be located in: United States.

Pay
At the published rate, 10 hours a week would be about $210–$650 and 20 hours about $420–$1,300 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Openings
100 openings means this is a high-volume project. You are not competing for one seat: if you pass the test, there is room for you.
Location
Only applicants located in United States can be paid for this role. Platforms usually verify where you are, so apply only if you are based there.
Credentials
The listing asks for 2+ years of experience. Put it in the first line of your profile: reviewers screen for it before anything else.
Timing
This listing is new today. Projects can close once they have enough people, so it is worth applying while it is open.
Test tips for designers
  • Give specific, fixable critique: what is off, why, and how to fix it.
  • Keep a tight portfolio link ready; it is usually the first thing reviewed.
  • Match the brief's style references before adding your own taste.
