I've been photographing wheels on traction engines, vintage trucks, and railway engines for more years than I can remember. I find it's very useful practice, not to mention good fun, to recreate them in Affinity Designer. I'm sure I posted City of Truro recently, but I can't find it here (I know I posted it on some of the Affinity FaceBook pages). Anyway, this is mainly made in vectors with a limited palette of flat colours and limited use of gradients.. The rivets are symbols, which is a handy way of making lots of identical things that might require later editing, and the lettering is text-on-a-path, with a lot of fiddling with tracking and baselines, and pure luck in finding close matches for fonts.

 
These two wheels are from a showman's engine -- a steam traction engine highly decorated and adapted to provide electric power for a fairground ride. I think this particular one is The Iron Maiden, but I can't lay my hands on the original photos to be sure. (She was originally named Kitchener, but was renamed when she starred in the movie of the same name.) In the first one, the right-hand front wheel, I used gradients for shading and highlights, but in the second, the right-hand driving wheel, I used flat black or white shapes at 50% opacity clipped to the relevant areas.

 
The egg-shaped structure behind the wheel is the cover for the drive train and differential gears. I used multiple outlines for the coloured lining. The rivets -- symbols again (although they needn't have been in this instance) -- are flat colour, and the highlights are separate symbols. each set of four is a Group, with the centre moved to the wheel's centre; this allowed me to use Power Duplicate to space them around the rim at precise intervals. (I did the same with the spokes.)

Great Western Railway (GWR) locomotive City of Truro. I had the pleasure of riding a train drawn by her in the 80s, and when I came across my photos again I thought she'd make a good subject. For the front view I looked up some original drawings on a GWR archive website, which avoided the problem of perspective; for the wheel, I had to make adjustments by guesswork. The colours are authentic GWR colours I found online on a model-makers' web page. The signal gantry is inspired by a magazine photo of a scene on the Severn valley Railway at Bewdley, England. And after I'd made the small lamps, I decided to do a big one. (Lamps or discs were fixed on the front of a loco to indicate what it was pulling, if anything. I used to have a book that explained the code, but I've forgotten what they were.)

 
First draft, without shading.

 
Driving wheel and maker's plate

 


The small 'calling-on' signal, the lowest one, is upside-down! I have no idea why it was set up that way, nor why it's facing the wrong way (the track and turnout are to the left). And if you notice there are one or two small details missing . . . yes, they are! The 'distant' signals (yellow) are actually fixed at 'caution' (horizontal) and don't move. I thought I'd make them more interesting. 😊

North Staffordshire Rly 0-4-4T No. 11, built 1907 at Stoke. Inspired by learning that 0-6-2T No.2 has been acquired by Foxfield Railway, just up the road; looking up details, I found this photo of a different loco and decided to have a go. (This engine no longer exists.)
For anyone not au fait with UK steam railway classification, 0-4-4 refers to the wheel configuration: no leading wheels, four driving wheel, four trailing wheels; T stands for tank, the rectangular shape alongside the boiler holding water.

This is my first drawing using Affinity Designer 2.0 (A revamped version of the colourful Lena which I have not uploaded!)
It is really a test of the updates made to the Brush Dynamics in Affinity 2.0
Created a new set of inking brushes that makes use of interpolation and the new Distance options with the brush dynamics. I have found that the brushes are much smoother, faster and more responsive..I really like the ability of 'Distance' to allow for the tapering of the nozzle. Even though you have to adjust the direction of the graph!

Hello,
Beautiful work, reduced colors balanced abstraction.

Hello,
good work, different techniques, I like.

Hi all, hope all is well, its been a while since I posted any updates. I've finally completed the first of many children's picture books, you may have seen a copy a while back, but I wasn't happy with the end results from the printers and there has been many, many changes. I have also designed the website in Affinity Designer which contains games and free activities for schools and parents.
 
Ohhh My Strawberry Monkey is the series of books and are stories of friendship based around a cute, pink, lovable, but somewhat clumsy monkey who will certainly cause a few chuckles.
 
The website is mystrawberrymonkey.com and you can find our first paperback here on Amazon
 
If you have grandkids, kids, nieces or nephews go check this out!

JK Rowling too Struggled bringing Harry Potters Story to a publisher, she got turned down many times, however she refused to give up, been persistant.. And because her determination, the Story of Harry Potter is well known around the world,.   Im like JKRowling, I refuse to give up. Her skills are with writing...   For me i have 4, writing, poetry, illustration and Song Rewriting. Many people tell me i should go to a publisher..   I can easily get into coloring books first. Got over 100 Illustrations done even colored them...
 
 
    I'm a vector Artist... My #1 program i use Serif Affinity Design. It's Epic and perfect the cool thing about this program you can do both vector and raster art. I even create new Species Names.. And design my own charecters    
 


I plan to Publish Novels in my series.   I even Created my own Guardians for my creation.. Here is sneak Peek..       
  I have Many Skills Poetry being my First Skill in life, i use to rhyme a lot in my childhood....    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   This is a Poem I written a few Months Ago in Honor of our War Vets..   "'The Poppy a Flower To Remember''   As we read the news, A war going on, In our past hometown land.   We choose to volunteer, To save our country, And help our fellow man.   Dressed in our uniform, Giving a heart felt embrace.   To the ones we hold dear to our hearts, As we leave for the battle we face.   As we cram in giant planes, And in ships waiting for us at port.   A felling of mixed emotions consume, To the people we help and support.   The journey is long, Yet we grow anxious to arrive.   Knowing very well, Many of us will sadly, Not come back home alive.   Making it to our destination, Flooding out from ships, And dropping from the sky.   Seeing the dangers, Chaos we face.  We give it all we got.   We race towards booms and blasts, For Freedom is worth a Lot.   We struggle on Deadly Ground’s, Trying to Stay alive.   Hoping we make a Difference, I sit in my trench, Given a moments, For a quick break.   Seeing the dead and injured, People fighting everywhere.   The odor in nauseating, It's more than I can bear.   Yet I quickly spring back up, Fire my gun, At enemy lines.   All of a sudden, I feel a strike near my spine...   As I lay there bleeding, Far to injured to move.   As I look upon the field, A beautiful red flower, Captures my view.   I close my eyes, And think back to all the memories, I been with you.   The way you brush your hair, in the morning, I would just sit and watch.   The way you would laugh, When I goof off a lot.   Remembering how teared up you were, When supper was ruined, Yet I still ate every little bite.   Wanting to take you out of your failure mood, Giving you confidence , Someday you will get it right.   Hearing I was going to be a father soon, The happy joy as we embrace.   The painful tears that fell, From the both of us, When i had to leave for base.   Yet here I lay dying, Not much time left to spare.   Please remember the Red Poppy, For I will always be there.   May its Red Color remind you, Of my sacrifice.   I gave my Heart and soul, So you can live you life..
I Laurie Ann Garland Writer of ''The Poppy, A Flower to Remember'' in Honor of all Our War Vets, Past, Present, and the Future. Dedicate this poem to the War Vets. They have giving us their lives, limbs, even their very souls so that we may live in Peace and be Free.
may we reflect on this Historic day that many Brave Men, Nurses, Doctors , and everyone involved, whom sacrificed and risked their lives. So that we will have peace and live to be Free.

Thank You for Everything,

Laurie Ann Garland ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Here is the Craziest Part...Crystal Frost was first Doodled on the Ipad with my Finger using the App Sketch Club.in 2017 That is when her story came to my head. I Doodled over 100 Illustrations of her Alone Yes Im a doodle A Holic., I would Churn out 4 to five of her doodles on each sitting.   I would also Write Little Random Stories about her. What Sparked the Idea..   I was watching MLP FIM with my Daughters, then Twilight Sparkle said, "'Ponies know very little about dragons because they were to afraid or scared to go near them.''   Then an idea raced through my head what if a pony got lost in the woods, got chased by dangerous wild creatures, and was saved by a dragon. They Became good friends,yet as time moved on their friendship bloomed into a relationship, that resulted in he being pregnant for the dragon. unable to stay home she leaves with the dragon, they both go into the wild land, to have their baby and raise the little one on their own.   At first it was just some random stories here and There. And i started to like where the story was going.   Went to MLP Arena with my idea, told them my plan to Pitch Crystal Frost Story to Hasbro. They told me Hasbro gets many spin off pitches of the MLP TV series All the time, they told me I was very Creative, their Advice was to Wipe out everything Hasbro MLP related in my Story, Created my Own Kingdom and World, and Put Crystal Frost Story in it.   On March 2018 within 4 Days i created the ''The Story of Crystal Frost, The Kingdom of Long Heart Stone, and Beyond.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the middle of the woods, Deep in the thick forest of Tree Top Hills, a small lumber Village, busseled with Clyonies. They tilled the land, turning trees into lumber, distributing, the wood, being used, to build the homes , all across The Kingdom of Long Heart Stone.   ''where did he go this time'' carrying her saddle bag Juliette Dew Drop walks through the small village.   inside the village a small local grocery store, owned by Mr and Mrs Shops, sold a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.   A post office called, Clyasus Express, run by Stamp Wells, where flying Clyasus would come and go delivering parcels and mail to the locals.   A small local paper called, News and Views. written, edited, photographed , by a Clyony named Flash dash the one and only reporter in the community..   A small school house nestled down by the brook, teaming with aquatic life, run my Miss Glass, where fillies and foal's would go to learn math, how to read, write, spell, and make friends.   looking past the the school house, walking by the tall thick trees, Juliette Dew Drop notices a cleared path, she turns to follow the path and disappears into the thick treed forest...   In a valley, stumps surrounding the lumber yard , timber stacked in piles. The clyony wood cutting crew, tired from cutting down trees all morning, were sitting down to a much deserved lunch break. Munch Munch Crunch chatting up a storm.   Timber ''anyone going to the family picnic the community is having this weekend.?''   Tree Cutter, looking nervously at his wind up watch, trying hard to keep track of time'' Can't my wife's mother in law is coming over to see the twins, that reminds me I have to pick her up after work, the stage coach is expected to arrive later today.''   Tall Trees,'' Not this time, I promised the kids I would help them with building a tree house, on the Big Oak Tree in our back yard.''   Roots, ''my Wife is due to have our 5th baby soon, she is quite cranky and craving all kinds of weird foods, last night she sent me to the shop, to pick up apples and bean bread, they do not even sell apple bean bread.. why can't she crave something normal.''   Splash '' My wife been nagging me to take her to the city lately, last time we went, she went on some crazy shopping spree, thank goodness the kids came, kept her pre-occupied, and I finally did not come home broke. ''   Timber,'' Just bring the kids again.. ''   Splash '' She wants to leave them with he sister Sweet Shine. this time''   snoring sounds interrupted the conversation, the stations looked over at the direction of the sound, Timber gets up and walks near Stomper, napping on the ground face in his bowl of oatmeal.   Timber,'' Stomper.''   Stomper... snore   Timber a little louder ''Stomper''   Stomper... snore.   Timber, Getting annoyed, ''STOMPER !''   Freaked out, stomper quickly lifts his head, oatmeal dripping from the side of his face, ''don't cry daddy's here'' he said is a panic sleepy voice, letting out a big yawn.. looking up, ''oh its you guys.'' yawning tiredly..   Timber '' you got oatmeal on your face again''   Stomper letting out a sleepy yawn ''that is nice,'' lifting his hoof, wiping the oatmeal off his face, licking his hoof.''   ''So are you coming to the family picnic this weekend'' Timber asked curiously.   Stomper "too tired, Rock Climber had us up all night crying'' yawns as he takes another lick of oatmeal, '' we tried giving him his milk, changing his diaper, and a bath, and he still kept crying.''   Timber ''How about you Ross Forest,'' the clyonies stopped eating, feeling awkward by the question.   Juliette Dew Drop, appears out of the path with her saddle bag on her back, entering the lumber sight, the cool breeze blowing the smell of fresh cut trees, she sees Ross Forest and walks towards him.   Juliette Dew Drop ''Hello Dear,'' reaching to her saddle bag open the flap dipping her hoof into the bag she pulls out a paper bag. ''You forgot your lunch.again ''   Ross Forest,'' sorry about that, I will try to remember next time.''   they both nuzzle each other, then Juliette Dew Drop heads back towards to the path and disappears into the woods..   Taking out his daisy sandwich, muffin, and a canteen of lemonade, a note falls to the ground..Ross Forest stoops down to pick it up with his hoofs, he read the note   I have something to tell you..

True his partner of long ago.
Passed away within their successfully prime.
Leaving the creature with everything, only wealth consume his mind.
Yet let's continue further. For there is much to tell.
How this creature went form obsession of greed.
To being caring thoughtful and sharing with those in need.'' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     This one is Raw Written Material, Full of my Poetic works.

Foggy Cabin

At the printer now and soon to be released digitally as well. As I've posted previously, created entirely in the Affinity universe. Still learning new bits with Publisher and that's usually a "when the need arises" kind of situation. I can't imagine going back to adobe. . . EVER! A note on the covers: these are alternates. What is being created by a 3rd party for what can only be described as misguided ego gratification, are a far cry from the high standards I hold myself to. Technically, they are an embarrassment and the flaws are blatant. In that regard, I present what WOULD have been the covers prior to design upheaval.

Here's my first image post.
I started this one in Designer with a pencil sketch in the Pixel persona. Then I created the "ink" lines with the pen tool in the Designer persona. I tweaked the ink line stroke profiles in the stroke studio and finished the art in Photo.

Ratonero Valenciano, photo taken on May 13th Completely edited, developed, retouched in Affinity Photo. The background is a little more blurred and has a decemted grain. If necessary, I can show the layers as a picture or each one separately.

Very good work!

Recently completed work: Marie Antoine-Not.
The subject of my next piece is DEFINITELY going to be bald*.
 
 
 
* Or wearing a big hat. 

The image of Peter Behrens' kiss has always fascinated me.
Since I'm still trying out the rim with Affinity Designer, I've reinterpreted it with this one. Lines and areas with 2 textures, one textile and one structure.

I also work with several tools from Adobe. when I hear some things, I have to try again and again whether it's not only possible with Affinity Photo, I think the software is getting better and better ...
Thank you for your time and your comment.

I also like the idea! That inspires
