THANK YOU SO MUCH @ChristiduToit "Venus Flerp-Derp" is now mine - your discount code is VERY generous. In fact, that gave me the last push to buy Affinity Designer (I have been in the trial period up until now). Plus, I couldn’t resist getting your Christi’s Comix Toolbox. Thank you also for the link to your Affinity Creative Session! It’s on my playlist. === Regarding "the Squishy artwork file no longer being available": I found a way to open it in Affinity (for those interested in getting a closer look at the "Squish" artwork): If you’re on Windows, go to https://store.serif.com/update/windows/designer/1/ and pick Version 1.7.0 If you’re on macOS, go to https://store.serif.com/update/macos/designer/1/ and pick Version 1.7.0 Then: Install it, and it will tell you that your trial period is over. Click "Continue Trial" and then you have ONE chance to open "Squish" and inspect it in detail. However, since you cannot save "Squish" (it’s locked - I understand why that is) and since you can only open version 1.7 once - after having closed the app and re-open it again it’ll tell you that 0 days are left of your trial period - you only have this once chance to inspect "Squish". And yes, the 1.7 opened even when my trial version (1.9.2) was installed at the same time. It’s two different instances. So, that’s how I got the chance to have a detailed look at "Squish" as well as at "Skull Island" by Frankentoon which is another great artwork that I enjoy. These are easily two of my favorites because of their inbuilt diegetic micro-narrative. Cheers and thanks a lot, Christi! Greetings from Berlin to Cape Town - naii

Hey @ChristiduToit, I’m just getting started with Affinity Designer, and I’ve come across your Comix Toolbox where I learned that your "Squishy” was available in Affinity Designer version 1.7. However, is it correct that in version 1.9.2 of Affinity Designer it’s no longer there? If yes, is there another way to gain access to it? I would really like to understand what you did there since I find it very inspiring. Thanks a lot! I look forward to hearing from you Cheers, - naii

Thank you @SFurniss! I just signed up for your newsletter

Hi there, I just downloaded the 90-day trial versions of Affinity Designer / Photo / Publisher, and I’m excited. Plus, your generous offer to give 50% off to all 3 products is fantastic! My question: Will the "50% off" offer still be valid after I’ll have completed my 90-day trial period in 90 days? Watching YouTube videos attracted me to Affinity products quite strongly, but I want to make sure using your pieces of software feels as good as, for example, using Sketch. Specifically, Affinity Designer is in the center of my attention. I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, - naii
