Sander Flisijn

It’s already been a month since my book launched, and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the support and kind words. If you’ve read it, I’d love to hear what you think, and if you have a minute and are able to leave a quick review, I’d really appreciate it 😊

A great portfolio helps, but it’s not the only thing that gets you hired as a game artist. Learning how to navigate the industry matters just as much, something that isn’t always taught in school. I wrote this book to help fill that gap with practical advice.

Was waiting for a courier to come pick something up, so when a driver arrived at my door, I didn't expect to receive something! 😂
The copy of The Pocket Mentor for Game Artists by @sanderflisijn.bsky.social that I won has arrived!
Many thanks Sander! Looking forward to reading it! :)

Congrats again Welbot! Glad to see it arrived safely. Hope you enjoy the read, and thanks again for joining the giveaway! 🙌

This year ended up being a good one for me. Cronos was such a fun project to work on, I finally published all of my real‑time hair works, and my book is coming out in just one week. Thank you everyone for all the support 🙏

Thank you! I really appreciate the opportunity

They’re here! 🙌 The early copies of my upcoming book arrived today, and holding the physical book in my hands feels surreal. It officially releases on December 26, and you can pre-order your copy here: sanderflisijn.com#book

This book has been a meaningful project for me to work on. I spent many late nights and weekends revisiting ideas, writing and refining sections, and offering the guidance I wished I had starting out. My feline supervisor made sure every important page was stepped on before approval.
