The Traveler model I worked on for Cronos: The New Dawn made its way into Fortnite as a skin. Fun seeing it cross into a new world. #Fortnite #CronosTheNewDawn #Traveler #BlooberTeam

My least favourite thing to do in xgen is braids, so naturally I'm torturing myself with doing a braid heavy hairstyle (very early wip)

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 😊

Sander Flisijn @sanderflisijn.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

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. Available here: sanderflisijn.com#book
