Cool!

Hey fellow Affinity friends!
 
Have some new styles – fresh of the press. :)
Played around with styles today and came up with
the idea of the letterpress effects.
 
A bit desdaturated, but these are just the presets. Obviously you can try different
blend modes, colors and backgrounds. This is how the four different styles look
like if you use them directly on text or vector layers.
Use on path-based layers recommended, the effect doesn't show off well on pixel layers …

 
And this is what they may look like after fiddling around with perspective and
some further effects applied.

 
Anyways, the afstyles are packed as a zip – have fun messing around! :D

Hi!
 
I want to share with you this small set of pencils.
Some of these tools feature Angle (Tilt) variance but you need a tablet that support it.
Don't have so much inspiration today to add some samples, but will do it for sure later 
 
This set doesn't work on iPad because required settings are not yet there.
It will work with proper textures once the matching of iOS/Desktop version has been completed. 
 

 
Hope you'll enjoy it!
Happy sketching!
 
UPDATE
 
Just uploaded a v1.1 with these two new pieces 
 
 

 
 
Some things to know...
 
This new release works with MAS versions of Affinity range, but to have proper tilt dynamic latest Beta of AP or AD is needed.
Special thanks to Andy Somerfield for custom ramps...

Hi everyone
 
I've been visiting this forum for more than a year now, and thought it was about time to post something.
 
I'm working on a poster of my small family that I intend to print if it turns out good.
 
Still a long way to go, a lot of details I want to add and textures etc...
 
I have never been good at posting the things I make, but thought it would be a good place to start here, since Affinity is the reason I started enjoying working with vectors again :)
 
Thanks for watching.
 
Michael
 
 
 
 
 
 

Loving the new artboards, makes life in AD so much easier. Here is a selection of album artwork covers i'm working on.
If you wanna see how these were made click here.

Pure zeitgest! Get this printed now!
 
This calls for the rest of the Christmas selfie range to be done: snowman, elf, Santa, reindeer, toy soldier, fairy and the cast of the nativity scene. :D

My tribute to (or, to put it another way, theft from) the great Charley Harper.
 
First of probably several Xmas card ideas I'm throwing around for the coming season.
 
 

Hi all,
 
my name is Robert (aka Deadbyxmas!), I'm an illustrator, animator etc and by accident I bumped into Affinity Designer a couple of weeks ago (I was probably googling around for alternatives to Ai....don't we all), tried the demo (in between paid jobs...hmm) and then, once I had a better idea of its workflow, bought it and got cracking with a few sketches and ideas.
As usual I tend to explore new software by trial and accident, without tutorials and stuff, so probably I'm still overlooking a lot of its features - I noticed that every time I use it I find a better way around things etc. - but I thought I'd share with you some of my first experiments.
Actually I'm not sure what I can share or not here - there is a pic that is proving quite popular on another social site, but is slightly (veeeeeery slightly, I wouldn't even consider it so) risquè, so you tell me - I can direct you to the external link.
 
In the meantime here's my first (nearly) full illustratration done entirely in AD, included the texture masking.
 
best!

How about this?...
 

 
I'm sure if there are any Apple guys reading this that an Affinity face would be worn proudly in our office if we could get hold of an official one? :D
