A CG artist is a digital artist that creates computer generated images(CGIs) for all types of multimedia.
Getting more specific, 2D assets are usually made using Adobe Photoshop or similar software and are usually used as textures or UIs(user interfaces/menus) in games. These assets can also be standalone digital artwork that can be used as marketing materials.
3D assets are mostly the models and digital properties that make the assets within a game or other interactive media. CG artists have a ton of software to pick from but some of the most common are Blender, 3DS Max, and Maya.
