Background Artist for "Noir Riverboat" Ambience

Job summary

We are commissioning a high-fidelity atmospheric environment inspired by the 1928 public-domain film Steamboat Willie.
Create an Infinite River Journey — a calm, continuous 8-hour ambience video in which a steamboat travels down a river at night.
This project is best suited for an environment artist who understands horizontal texture tiling and parallax-ready layer construction.
This is not a short cartoon or one-off illustration. We are building seamless looping world designed for long-duration viewing.

• horizontal texture tiling
• parallax-ready layer construction

This is restrained graphic environment designed for subtle animation — not hyper-detailed illustrative showcase.
The artwork will be animated using horizontal parallax scrolling Environment layers will be wrapped end-to-end as camera pans The canvas width is7680px (8K UHD).

A wide canvas avoids classic Scooby-Doo background effect where same elements pass by too frequently.
