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! :)

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 🙏

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

A friend of mine launched a Kickstarter for a board game he’s been building called "The Dark Order". If you’re into board games, dark fantasy, or want to support someone bringing a creative dream to life, check it out or share it forward:

I’ve been quietly working on something very exciting for the last two years: a career advice book for game artists called 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬. It comes out exactly one month from today: Dec 26, 2025 📘 @routledgebooks.bsky.social

(Here’s my cat “reviewing” the manuscript.)

I’ve shared a bunch of realtime hairstyles lately, and all of them will be part of a hair tutorial I’m putting together. It’s been a slow burn, but I’m excited to pick it up again.

I’m wrapping up my spam of realtime hair work (for now) with some facial hair, so here's a groom with brows, lashes, and a beard.

Here are some long curls I made. The hair cards were placed by hand with the help of Maya's nonlinear deformers.

I’m almost through sharing my work on realtime hair, so here’s one of the last ones: a combover hairstyle.

Another hairstyle I made a while ago: Dutch braids. The hair cards were placed by hand.

Another groom study: short dreads with a fade. I placed the hair cards using a combination of XGen and manual placement.
