Wow, that is an amazing piece of work! Maybe I am nosy this way but it would be fun to see a desktop shot of all the layers involved here. :-) (One of the strangest things I found when first designing with a vector program and now it's just something fun to look at later and play around with ...) Love the colors, too.

So, there you go. I tested it and it works brilliantly. Can one do the same thing with Outlook Express proper? I often use it online rather than with apple mail and while I was able to put in a signature image it didn't save it or show it at the bottom of a new email. :-/ But on Apple Mail this is quite frankly brilliant. Thanks for the tutorial, it was a lot simpler than I would have imagined! Yes, I need to update my portfolio...

affinity designer Affinity illustrations and experiments
penwiper replied to Deadbyxmas's topic in Share your work
I really love the image of the woman at the bus stop. It is an easily recognizable scene with a strong character. Very well done! -
Oh very nice looking tree and buildings! Well done! I love the organic, twisted branches. I do wonder if the yellow window isn't too bright for the scene? A few more windows with their lights on might also help so that it does not stand out quite so much. :-)

So I joined an app on my phone called sktchy where people submit photos to provide inspiration to others, and members also draw from photos submitted to the app. Here are some portraits I have drawn of people there in the last week with Affinity Designer. It's a neat idea! There's obviously a wide range of talent there, but that is part of the fun.

affinity designer VW BUS First Illustration
penwiper replied to JOLLORANDI's topic in Share your work
This looks great, good job! :-) You should see my first illustration in Affinity ^_^ ... the whole process gets easier with time. I've been working with it since December and I at least am much faster than in the beginning! -
I actually have not. I have them downloaded, though! :-)
-
Hey that is cool looking. :-) Maybe I will have to try that out. Of course I am not sending very many emails right now, but oh well!
-
Yep, Affinity is great for a lot of things. I often forget about the pixel aspect though, because I'm so happy with exploring the vector . . . :-) Also I really like the pen tools and pencil effects in Art Rage so I tend to use that for a hand-drawn feel and then work on those drawings in Affinity on a separate layer. Which is not to say the entire thing couldn't have been drawn in Affinity!

Oh wow, I LOVE the colors and composition! :-) Well done!
-
Hmm. Okay, I LOVE the texture and lighting. This is a great image! Now I'm not that great with drawing cars myself (never something I have actively pursued drawing) but I can see a bit why you might find the angle of the front bumper wonky, and it might be a fairly easy fix depending on how you've set up your image. :-) It does give the car character so it's not a bad thing (push it even more!), but here we go . . . *cough* You're going to think I'm crazy after seeing my markup. I hope you don't mind that I traced lightly over your image in another program to do this.

Well as Tom Lehrer said you can never be TOO early for Christmas (Oh wait, he was talking about writing and plugging Christmas carols . . .) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtZR3lJobjw ;) Nice looking card design. Will you put text inside the card, then?
-
Thanks guys! :-) Affinity is such a great program. Speaking of which, I should download the newest version of it after I post this!
-
Here are a couple of new images I made this week. I borrowed the pose of a celebrity and designed a new outfit for her and a new environment earlier in the week. I love this one. :-) This evening I also redrew a previous sketch I made during a Sunday service of a woman and her child who sat across from me at the time more than a year ago. (I often stealth sketch people Sunday morning while listening to the sermon because, well, we're both sitting in the same place for an hour and why not?... it keeps my hands occupied, anyway, and they're too busy to notice.)
-
Hey, I love those stylized birds! Nicely balanced with some great coloring and simple design. What cereal box did you base the pattern from, out of curiosity?
-
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.)
-
Hey, cool looking game! So, maybe kind of a cross between Battle Line or Lost Cities and, I dunno, Love Letter? Like the new artwork you posted also. I'll bookmark the website. :-D
-
I like this image, it has nice strong contrasts between the yellows, blues and greens. One thing I noticed was that there was a bit of a green outline around the crow; that could use a little bit of a touch-up, in addition to working on his claws. (sorry I am being a bit nitpicky, there) Other than that, this looks great!
-
Heh. My brother is replaying Homeworld himself on Steam... He had both the originals and was talking a few days ago about the differences in game play. *shakes head* This looks cool though. A series could be very interesting and could be used for all kinds of things! :-)

affinity designer Google Now Inspired Wallpaper
penwiper replied to Yannik's topic in Share your work
If it had a little more texture on it (and I'm not saying this is a good or bad thing one way or another) it would remind me of some of the landscapes in Samurai Jack. http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/24700000/Samurai-Jack-samurai-jack-24767891-900-682.jpg <-- such as this. :-) I wish I could see a little bit more of the image-- my PC screen size is rather . . . underwhelming as far as pixels go. What I can see looks nice! -
Amazing detail on the lens, especially that reflection! I imagine all the tucks on the balloon where the fabric stretches was time consuming also. :-) Very nice works.
-
Thanks, guys! Flowers are relaxing to draw. :-) Orchids in particular are among my top ten favorite flowers.
-
Very nice! I like this one a lot, clean lines and shapes, and I like the color scheme. For some reason I love the flatness of the martini glass also. If I had to make one change, I'd either lower the city skyline or make it higher so that it is not skimming the hair line and falling so much into the middle of the composition. :-)
-
So I worked on this orchid tonight for about 3 hours and I am extremely happy with how it turned out! :-) I might put some bitmap texture in the light area of the background, but I'm sitting on that for now until I am sure. As for my other image, that was last night's practice with Affinity and I am not as sure about it. I love the shape of the beetle, but I'm not sure about the portrait on its back anymore. I am relatively happy with the background, but again, I'm still thinking about that one! So, if you have comments or suggestions please let me know.

Thanks, it's a bit of a different color scheme than usual for me. :-) I also had to keep reminding myself to Keep It Simple Stupid, especially when it came to the dog. I kept wanting to overwork the pug.
