Yet another classic car... DeLorean.  Automobile originally made in my old home town of Belfast.

I've been collecting links to various resources useful in the field of architectural rendering and visualisation and I'd like to share them with the community. There are quite a few on my list as it has been compiled over some years.

Hello.
 
I used AD to draw and slice single glyphs for my new comic book font... regular is done, others (italic, bold, bold ilalic) are still in progress.
 

 
... and here is the sampler:

Yesterday I started to design new typeface in Affinity Designer. I really love split view to get quick overview of shapes and to control outlines. ;)

Super work Bodo...like it

thank you, marty :) I'll push the car back into the garage;-)

Hello, here is my first achievements Affinity Designer as a crazy fan of vector  :wub:
 

 

just a camera lens.

Okay guys and gals, for those of you who requested a bit more detail, here's how the halftones are made and applied.
D
 

I think I’m finally done with my latest drawing, The Streetcar Boat.  In 1905 there were streetcars that went from Minneapolis to the shore of Lake Minnetonka, but the people living around Lake Minnetonka needed a way to continue to their homes.  So a set of 6 steam boats were built to resemble streetcars.  These boats added 27 more stops to the streetcar line.
 
In 1926 the 6 boats were deemed no longer necessary and were scuttled in the middle of the lake.  In 1979 a diver found the wreck of the Minnehaha and it was raised.  After 17 years of restoration it was put back in service on weekends in the summer making runs between two cities across the lake.
 
Being 1600 miles away and the wrong time of the year, I used pictures I had and pictures on the web to construct as much detail as possible.  Right down to screws and rivets.
 
At 4,638 layers, all vectors, it’s my largest drawing so far.  Zooming from the full image to some of the smaller detail requires a zoom of about 80,000%.  So AD is about the only program capable of the detail.
 

1930's Plymouth....not sure of exact year, if anyone knows, i'd appreciate it....still enjoying / learning Affinity Designer...nice change from Photographic work

Hi Crabtrem,
Here's a re-sized AD version of a portion of the finished piece, it'll give you some indication of how i created the work, (the complete file would be too large to post ) as i said previously...not necessarily the optimum way!!

That must have taken a long time to make? you have a huge amount of detail in there, Really good work.

Really wonderful, Marty! I look forward to seeing more of your work as I am partial to rail road themed art.
