It's a Jim Lee! Very nice! I've tried and never could "ink" in digital. Gonna give it another try.

Hello folks,
My name is Dennis. I created this pixelated self-portrait a few days ago. Started it in Dottable, a pixel-art app on a mobile phone, then traced it in Affinity Designer with the grid snap feature. Then I added a few grunge textures over masked areas, imported it into Affinity Photo, and finished it off with LUT filters and monochrome noise for a subtle paper-like feel.
I like how precisely the applications work together and that you can add pixel-based textures directly in Affinity Designer without having to change the application, it integrates very fluidly into the workflow. 
Anyway, I hope you like the result.

Hello!
 
I've been updating some old drawings with AD. Some I save as .afdesign, others I keep as SVG.
This one is some years old. I got rid of some masks, reorganized some layers, resized for my current desktop. Then I saw this "angel-like" shape I had not seen when I first made it.
 
It may not be some of a merit for AD, but there's a chance it's something to do with the interface and how the original drawing looked on it. Anyway, it feels refreshed to me.
 
Funny thing about me finding a new tool is how excited I am to review old stuff. There are a lot of things that are much easier to do in AD so that I'll probably try. This particular one was done in CorelDraw and updated in inkscape. The proper tool gives you control over the kind of result you want. I like this design, this very result I got (on all of the X-Women I've drawn) but something as artistically unattached as interface is critical to see some things and affects the final work.
 
Thank you for your attention.

Good Evening (wherever it isn't evening: Good Day)!
 
As I got my first wacom tablet today, I've tried to vectorize the statue before the Austrian parliament building. My reference was this picture from wikimedia commons. Up to now I'm excited from my "wacom draw", it is so much easier to work in Affinity Designer now.  :)
 
Kind regards,
Patrick
 
 

Damn! That's nice! I have one Porsche coming for one. Good inspiration. Good work.

Messing about with AD....like it

Very nice!

I told Affinity Team I was very impressed. I had not used AD like this yet. Could not wait to finish the work to post it. Affinity Designer is extraordinary!
 
I drew the lines with pencil and inking pens. From then on, everything is AD, except for bitmap tracing - unfortunately. I have a high resolution drawing, with lots of layers and objects to create effects, ready to print, in a 800KB file. It's easy, fluid work. Great, great, great.
 
Can't wait to finish the entire poster.
 
All the best.
Thank you all for your time.

Nice work. Fun illustration! My suggestion would be regarding the title: The colours work well with the content and as a way of standing out fairly well from the busy background. Perhaps a slightly more friendly (humanist) typeface might compliment the illustration better.
Cheers,
Daryl

Nice job jMaguire. Lot's of character.
 
One suggestion I would make might be to slightly thicken up the outlines on each of or the 2 dominant animals in the foreground to separate them a bit from the background.
