I missed it too. These are very cool, and I can definitely use them in my workflow. Thanks. I like how you also have vector brushes. I don't find too many of those.

Hey @jhazel0705 thanks for sharing your brushes!

From what I can tell, you can associate brushes with particular tools in Affinity Photo but not in Affinity Designer. So for example, while the Daub Blenders all show the Smudge tool icon in the Brushes panel of both apps, in Affinity Designer there is no way to have the Smudge Tool automatically selected when one of them is selected in the Brushes panel. 

Hey guys......so I was working on my new course...and got the the lesson on making brushes.....sooooo I had to amek some brushes. 
 
I made a set of fog/ smoke brushes in raster and a set of silky smooth stroke brushes for your vector applications. 
 
I have learned so much from the people on the site....I wanted to give back, so here ya go . I am working on new blog post and some new art using them....so I will keep you in the loop 
 
Feedback on them is always appreciated, I love making these sorts of tools

This only works for duplicating on a circular path & evenly distributing the duplicates requires a bit of simple math, but by using snapping, power duplicate, & moving the rotation center, I came up with this:

The basic idea was to create the first red circle snapped to the top center of the larger one & move its center point to the center of the large one. Then I duplicated it, rotated it 15° & just kept using Command+J to power duplicate around the perimeter.
 
There are a few oddities though: note that in the layers panel 4 of the red circles appear larger than the others. Also, I was not able to use the transform panel's rotation value to rotate the first duplicate. When I tried that, the rotation center shifted each time I power duplicated it. It wasn't easy using the rotation handle in the workspace to set the first rotation to exactly 15° but once I did that, power duplicate worked fine to keep the rotation centers from moving. Oddly, some of the duplicates are slightly different from exact 15° increments, but only by a small fraction of a degree. Perhaps that is due to a rounding error?
 
The AD attached document includes the history, so hopefully you can see exactly what I did.
Power duplicate using center point.afdesign

Here's another way using power duplicate (video).
 
 
 

MEB,
 
I think the problem I was having with the center point shifting when I used the transform panel rotation value was I neglected to click on the center square like your video shows. (I left it set to the default upper right corner.)
 
Your method for power duplicating copies of a grouped pair of objects around the group's center works fine for creating an even number of equally spaced rotated objects, but for odd numbers of objects the method I used is the only one I know of that does. That's where the math comes into it. Dividing 360° by the number of objects tells me how far I need to rotate the first duplicate, & from there power duplicate does the rest.
 
I'm still trying to figure out why the red circles in the layers panel of my example are not all the same size, but since they are in the work itself, I'm not going to worry about that.  :)

I think the edges are too dark in the above examples. I got better results by Ctrl-I for Invert, then Filter->Colours->Erase White Paper, then Invert again. Gets the edges more transparent and less dark.
 

Why not select the black and use the rest ?
 
Select > Select Sampled Colour and invert.
 
Brighten it up a bit with an adjustment layer, or two.

On the channels panel select/preview the composite red and do access the right click menu on that list entry (perform a right click on that one), there from the popup menu select the "load as pixel selection" menu point.

If you really want only the red channel, you will probably end up with something that looks like this:

If that is really what you want, you could do it by selecting the layer, & from the Channels panel, right click on the green & blue channels, selecting to clear them, then right click on the red channel & select Mask from channel. Flatten the document & you should be left with something like the above. This extract red channel.afmacro will do that. (It assumes the jpg layer is the only one in the document & is named "Background.")

Below a short video showing how it is possible

I used 2 brushes and about 10 clicks to make this in Designer.......really trying to push the alien landscapes this year 
 
 

Thank you so much for these brushes, it's very much appreciated.

Thank you very much! Awesome! 

Bonjour.
Je n'ai pas encore l'habitude de naviguer intelligemment sur le forum, ce qui me fait passer à côté de belles réalisations comme la vôtre.
Ce style de brosses,très souvent utiles mais rares.
Félicitations . 

Thank you! Just discovered this area of the forum!

Very nice brushes!  

Thanks jhazel0705 for your sharing

I am surprised that nobody replied to your generous gift yet. I love it and appreciate it very much.
