Hello Everyone !
Was quite busy but wanted to share this with you.
I've been trusted to work on another project for Naîloth 'the journalist', this one is not yet finished as you can see, the provided photo is of very bad quality and doesn't match and is too much blurry and simply i'm still learning about photo.
Like the previous one, it is intended to make Naîloth visible on the scene and also it gives me a chance to apply few of the stuffs and technics i've recently learned.
Like for the previous, don't hesitate to give me your inputs and advice, telling how you think i can manage to make things better.
Blessings !

Hi Danny,
I personally am not into tats but your work speaks volumes! Great Job!
I too am using Affinity more and more. I have a print/sign shop and a newspaper and every day more and more is getting done in Affinity. 
Here's why:
1. Size: Adobe is limited to 200 inches. I've done over 1200 feet files in Affinity.
2. gradations and transparencies - much more powerful
3. iPad version is fully compatible and as capable as the desktop version.
4. Drop shadows actually export correctly rather than strange squares around objects that sometimes show up in print.
There are certainly things I have gotten frustrated over and that is the massive file sizes but I get over it. Much of the time though Affinity will fix files that come from Adobe. 
Sometime I'll probably post my comics here but I am completely amazed everytime I use Designer. One day I hope to be free of Adobe - though I don't see a replacement for Acrobat (and my plugins) any time soon.

I always wanted to play that game when I was a kid...
I could probably make RPG maps like that, but my eventual goal is to make something like a cross between this:

...and this:

 I've been working on this one big idea for a comic for a good while now. It's something I'll do in 3D, which'll give me a lot of flexibility without as much overhead as drawing everything piece by piece. I recently started to really pick up steam on it, but after hours upon hours of experimenting with the style,  I came to the realization that my mix of solid, bold colors paired alongside more realistically shaped assets just wasn't doing it for me. I thought that something a little more painterly would do me better. Something like the examples above. It'd allow me a lot more detail, and still help maintain my intended style.
It'd also be a lot cheaper on my polycount. Doing EVERYTHING with flat shaded polygons looks neat, but it's a drag on the old computer. This shot, the one that finally made me decide to branch out in style, is over 15 million polygons. I could cut this down to tens of thousands of tris easily by relying on textures more.

The only problem with it is I'm only so-so with painting textures. Which leads me to where I'm at right now. 
I'm still doing it. In fact, I bought a tutorial this last Friday that I've been working on. Upside? It's teaching me quite a bit. Downside? It's got me working on the same texture day after day. My one-a-day plan has changed into a more open ended practice everyday affair.
But I'll have something to show soon, I swur!

With buying and downloading all the brushes, I'm getting overloaded on choices and switching bakc and forth between brushes.
Could there be a "favorites" and "last used" sets of brushes? Perhaps your last 10 or 15 brushes used? And, with Favorites you could have an option in the edit that would add it to your favorites?
thanks!

Couldn't find a search on this but I find it frustrating browsing the Affinity on Desktop forum as people don't always put a good description in their title and I open questions relating to A/Designer which are no interest to me as I only use A/Photo. Would it be a good idea to have separate forums for Designer and Photo?

Select the line. Go In the menu "Layer" and select "Expand Stroke". After that your line is a filled shape that you can use with compound shapes.
Hope that could help.

I had tons of fun making this..AD is what I've been waiting for on the IPAD..is amazingly powerful just like AP...hope you guys dig it.

In dialog boxes where one has to enter margins or bleeds or things of that nature for four sides gets a little tedious. Would it be possible that measurements for more than one thing could include a lock button so that you enter it in the first box and it applies automatically to all 4 boxes?
Increase and decrease buttons would be very handy for any setting such as fonts, paragraph spacings, etc. Right now I am trying to make banners with large fonts but I cannot just click up and down (or SHIFT for 10 increase). I have to type it in manually or use one of the preset numbers, which is not enough.
Thank you for listening and for the great software!

Is the scroll work vector and how did you make it?

Excellent work!

The pasteboard would be nice like in Indesign/Illustrator. I'm sure it will be implemented or maybe something better.

Affinity Designer is fantastic. Not because I'm a great drawer or illustrator. I'm printing and prepress professional and in the past week I have had two times where it Illustrator or Indesign could not take an existing PDF and deal with the file right.
Designer was able to bring in the PDF and let us alter it to get the vector logo out. I do this regularly but I usually don't get errors importing into Illustrator but I did on this one and Designer saved us.
Today a font was not embedded in a PDF that someone created in Corel. We were able to install the font on the Mac, open the PDF in Affinity, adjust a little bit because the person did a poor job designing and resaved - the ad came out perfect!
 
I'm looking forward to the page layout program with how well Designer is working.

Hi,
 
Multi page / spread and imposition control is set to be implemented when Affinity Publisher goes live next year - the capability will be made available in Designer at the time Publisher is released, because the products share a common file format.
 
We must prioritise tasks - illustration is *primarily* not dependant on multi-page, so it waits for Publisher.
 
Hope this helps,
