aww they are overrated anyway :P :D Nice Job Ikoma. I like what you done with the background to add to the mood.

If you leave your mouse for a second at the furthermost point of the right hand corner of the screen the menu will drop down and you can push the the double arrows to exit fullscreen mode. :)

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement and support!

So let me first start off by saying I am a visual designer. I do graphic work, but I have been trying to draw more lately. I spend a lot of my time doing corporate branding type work. Now that Affinity Designer is here it really has freed me from the Adobe world. I am not very good at drawing directly into the computer( I really not as good at drawing as I want to be either) and to be honest I prefer to step away from the screen and doodle in a sketchpad. After I am done doodling I take a picture of my work with my phone and import my drawing. I use the drawing tools to trace, alter, clean up, and embellish my work. This is my first go beyond doodling and it was all completed in Affinity Designer! I did not experience one crash. The program is as fast, smooth and intuitive as they say. I am looking forward to growing with this application! So much to learn so little hours in a day! Thanks guys! You really are putting a powerful and respectable tool in our hands!

Ok, this maybe out there but it just an idea. I thought it be cool if there were a set of tools to create a bone structure or maybe a sort of morphing tool. The application could go beyond just characters but perhaps could expand the capabilities for some unique art. Illustrators and Animators could use this after they create character to move and pose a character or simply make slight adjustments to their character pose. then they could maybe save that as a morph target similar to a snapshot. Graphic Designer could use this tool to take certain graphic forms or shapes and push and pull solid forms into an organic shape for instance if you wanted to make something look gooey from a flat shape you could place a pin where you don't want things affected and place move point with a fall off adjustment to make that stretchy form. Sure you can draw this form but it be more organic to push and shape the form. Just had a thought if you have this morph target or snapshots recorded you could use them to create the points for some basic animated Gifs exports. I should referenced the puppet tool... (I am sure you will do it better) ;)

Flokk'n Fantastic!

What the Flokk! Nice work man!

Hello, My name is Ronnie. Unlike many other people here I am not familiar with any of your products. I have been designing for quite sometime....here comes the shameless plug (mixmediasalad.com) and I have been using Adobe products for all of my professional life. I am not convinced on the whole subscription base model Adobe got going on these days. I am currently subscribed to the Creative cloud but I am always interested in finding and supporting tools that are not widely known and see how well they can be utilized across other mediums of creative communication. I am looking forward to playing with this application. My goal will be to see how I can utilize and communicate your application with other tools like Sketch3, Cheetah3d and perhaps Apple Motion. So, far I have to say the tool is pleasing to my eye. I already have a couple of questions but i save those for the appropriate thread. I am currently looking for new job/project opportunities. I think I have some time to spare to dig in on this. Cheers, Ronnie
