A work in progress.
 
A small political satire. I live in South Korea and having a missile wielding excruciatingly fearsome and devilish handsome dictator as a neighbor makes life here interesting to say the least.
 
This work is based on an actual photograph of the 'great leader'.
 
I am being sarcastic, of course.
No offense intended. 
 
Cheers!
 
Ps: Loving the ease of use of Designer. Can't wait for the future updates!
 
 

Dear community,
 
I hope you don't feel like I'm spamming the forum with all my threads.
Today I'm sharing a project that I started today. It's going to be a series of animal illustrations who are in jeopardy of extinction.
 
Most cases of total extinction are leading back to human interference and neglect. 
Raising awareness is one part, committing oneself to find proper solutions is the next.
 
I hope, there are no grammar mistakes in this series. Hehe.
English is not my forte. 
 
Anyways, critiques and feedback always welcome.
 
Cheers, Mike
 

A small scene that I'm working on, whenever I have some spare time.
 
There is a deeper story to this scene...maybe someday this will turn into a one issue comic. haha.
Anyways, I made this one in Affinity Design and added a little bit over color cast in Pixelmator (I could have done this of course also in AD, but I just got a free copy of Pixelmator and decided to try it out.)
 
Cheers,
Mike
 
 

That's AWESOME! :) Looking forward to seeing where this goes! (it's not going to end very well for the hairdresser about to cut the electric cable!!!)

Cool work, lots of interesting details look at :)

Thanks guys, Dale.

Like the other's have said.... Brilliant stuff. Love the use of noise and the feel to the pieces. Must admit that I didn't even realise that it was a Polar Bear in the first pic (I only glanced at it if I'm honest) but on second viewing it (and studying it properly) it's a well executed piece.
 
I assume that it's the end of a digger's arm/shovel/bucket thing that we're seeing in the background of the POWER pic? My only criticism would be to define that more, but that's me just being niggly.
 
Great work, look forward to seeing more in the series!

Hey there,
 
Thanks for your feedback!
It's fine with me if you choose to adopt certain elements, like technical execution or certain moods etc.
Of course I assume that your work is not going to be a replica, haha. ;) 
I'm curious to see your work that you're thinking of! Please share if you can!
 
Cheers!

Great series. Shows how one can make a statement visually that's more impactful that paragraphs of opinions. 
 
(about the grammar thing, the misuse of apostrophes just gets me, esp. with "it's"  and "you're" when they should be its and your. Didn't mean to offend, just inform. I know that there's dozens of grammar mistakes I make, thankfully I have a spouse who's a proofreader :) )

Wow, what a compliment. Thank you very much. Will try to create more elaborate things in the future. 
I am currently using Affinity Designer to create the visuals for an indie game that I'm working on. Will share content on that one, too.
 
Cheers!
