Hello designers!
 
I love to work with Affinity Designer and I decided to let all my vectors for free, under CC0 licence. That means you can use them everywhere you want, even without attribution. Feel free to download them on http://humblevectors.com.
 
Happy creating with this awesome tool!

That's very kind of you. Thanks for sharing @medhi :)

Nice, thanks!  Those are pretty sweet looking. 
 
(I um, thought the hotdog was lipstick at first, though, and was wondering what the yellow stuff was doing around the base?  That's probably JUST me, so don't worry about it.  I thought it might make you laugh.)

That's really very good! Fantastic first piece!!!! :D

Short answer: nope. A group is two (or more) vector objects. But what you asked can be done. It just means unlearning a lot of other vector app's ways of doing things.
 
First off, AD allows us to have vector objects: either an "open" curve (i.e. a line) or closed curve (one that describes a shape and is filled). So what you want to do is to be able to have 2 different objects on a single object layer. 
 
What I've been doing with my art is in cases like this (two objects that need one shadow) is to just use the combine operation (if they don't overlap). I created a file that may help and show how I do it and attached it to this post.
 
Some downsides to the combine method: the fills and strokes will be the same for both objects. You could add an "coloring" object above the curve that is to be a different color, but that can make things confusing unless you are obsessively naming your layers. However, by being clever with a gradient (for both fills and strokes) you can have both legs be slightly different in color.
 
The best way that I've found is to just not combine like objects, and add the "masking" objects individually to each layer. It may take a bit more time, but you can add a bit of individuality to each separate object. That makes the drawing/art look more lively and less copy & pasted.
 
 
I hope it answers the OP question.
