...here's a couple of words, "bye photoshop" ;)

That's damn fine pmeinertz. Designer seems really well suited to this kind of work. Great job on the glass, you must have been working from some reference... the metal is good too, you can almost feel the soft metal feel of those grooves... although I'd like to see a couple of harder highlights or contours in that area to offset all of the blur... just subtle, almost unnoticeable...

Hey guys, will this be a monthly thing? Features, tips, upcoming goodies, brush/palette downloads, gallery, contests, ... all things Affinity related? Would be cool. Usually these sorts of things are fairly labour intensive to put out every month but if done right can really benefit everyone. Cheers!

Nice job pmeinertz, love those tiny bevel details. Good to see Designer tackling photo realism so well...

Thanks everyone! It's funny, in the 3d world "noise" is your enemy. In 2d it adds interest and tactile texture... ;) I like it here although it's sometimes a fine balance of how much is too much. It is nice to have the choice though. Bottoms up! -

Thanks Ronnie, that sounds like a plan! Whoa you're either staying up really late or getting up really early? ;) -

Cheers Matt. I had to pass the finished piece by the client, hence just getting around to posting now. Yeah, it felt pretty comfortable from the outset. -

Hi all. Here is my very first piece done in Designer from back in August I think. It was done with the initial free beta before the app store version came out. I wanted to test drive the app after stumbling across it and checking out all of the features and also seeing Jonathan Ball's initial work. It looked pretty promising. So with a sketch I had kicking around of a concept that didn't get beyond the sketch, I dove right in. This idea was one of several I had for a local brewery's new brew called "Full Kilt" a high octane Scottish Ale. I got hooked almost immediately and found the workflow new but not entirely foreign. Things made sense. I immediately made the piece my avatar. :) It's all vector, no pixel persona in this one...

Thanks Chris. That's the beauty of designer, you can do something tight like this, with type, balanced shapes and subtle gradients or something all grungy and textured and fine art-y or a combination of both. It's very refreshing, and this is just the beginning...
-
Looks like a nice marriage of vector and pixel, great final result!
-
Very convincing realism, nice work!
-
Nice job, love the textures and sense of illustration this has.
-
Thanks GRScott!

You lost me there Peter... :huh: Chris, one way may be to leave the dark line on the top most layer and build the colour layers underneath...
-
Cheers raymondemery! That saves us a bit of time...

Two very different pieces! Are you going to colour your dwarf illo?
-
Cool, would love to see this one animated...

Sweet, very simple process with great results! Thanks Paolo.

Now where's that freakin wormhole...
