    Just wanted to add: when you convert from RGB to CMYK there's no change (or almost) in the appearance, but when you do it the other way around, all of the colors tend to differ a lot from the original version.

    Thanks guys! Honestly, this is the first complex illustration that I've done from sketch to finish in Affinity Photo (full rendered semi-realistic characters, 12"x18" @300ppi, a bunch of adjustment layers...). And it took me a while to feel really comfortable with the software. Why? My actual annoyance had nothing to do with the brush engine or the general speed (which is pretty good)... what really, really, bothered me, until the end, was the inability of flipping the canvas properly... Let me explain myself: In my regular workflow, I tend to rotate and flip the canvas A LOT! in Affinity Designer I have no problem at all when rotating the canvas, but unfortunately there's no shortcut there to flip it, unless you're only flipping one layer or the entire Artboard and if you have a couple of layers there, you need to keep selecting the entire Artboard constantly to flip the illustration vertically or horizontally. Affinity Photo has the ability to do that, but unfortunately the graphic engine (or something) crashes and your image takes AGES to make the tile refreshing after flipping the entire canvas. So I felt very 'handicapped' during the whole process in that matter (I'll try to add a GIF showing this problem). The brush engine and physics could improve (compared to Procreate or Clip Studio), I know, but I've managed to make them work very decently by tweaking a couple of parameters here and there. @BrianHermelijn Regarding the CMYK question, I never work in CMYK for illustrations for one reason: I use several blending modes and adjustment layers all across my layers and I have noticed that some of them don't work very well other than in RGB. What I do instead, when a client asks for a CMYK version is to make a flat version of the RGB and convert that flattened one to CMYK. This conversation is getting interesting isn't it? :D

    That was exactly what I went after... glad you captured the whole idea! :lol:

    Hello there! Just wanted to share a recent commission I finished a couple of days ago using Affinity Photo and a couple of custom brushes. The Ad agency wanted to have something in the 80's horror movies fashion, with a couple kids fighting against each other during a roadtrip from hell. I really don't know what will be the final use for this, but I had lots of fun making this type of illustration. Any comment good or bad, will be welcome as always! And here are some previous layout sketches. The original title was a little bit weird haha...

    Thanks a lot for your comment! Yeah, now that I see it again, I think that the rim light falls flat on the lower left corner. I would probably fix that :)

    Hello there! Well, the title says it all basically. I've just finished a new commercial Franken Pack about 6-7 days ago and I need your help testing the product. If you want to be part of this project, please send an email to contact@frankentoon.com I have 3 spots left for this task. This new pack is oriented towards illustrators, again, very similar to my previous Texturizer Pro brushes. That is all I'm allowed to say for the moment... I would really appreciate your help guys! :D Cheers! Enrique

    I'll send a temporary link to that eBook ASAP. I have your email stored in my contacts.

    Thanks for asking! Not really, for this particular project I just opened AP and made the first sketches there, then I refined them and finished the project inside AP without even notice that I wasn't in AD. For these kind of pure bitmap paintings I use either Photo or Designer in Pixel mode :)

    Hey, thanks a lot for such nice comments I appreciate you've taken the time! Regarding the email thing, I wonder if you received our latest eBook, Creating a Jungle Scene? I released that free eBook on January 27, I also released this FREE CONCEPT ART PACK the last december 24th. Cheers!

    Thanks Alfred! Yes, this way is more cheaper to reproduce in several positions and even cheaper to animate :)

    Thanks a lot! I love to do this kind of shading, is more time consuming, but is also rewarding at the end :)

    Hello guys! Just wanted to share a recent mascot design I made for my other design studio Insecto Design, using Affinity Photo. I've also included the preliminary pose sketches (made in AP too) so you can have an idea of the process. Hope you enjoy! SaveSave

    Oh... she's creepy, I know. Tunkita is a deformation of the spanish word 'Tunco' which means pig in some parts of America, like México, Honduras and El Salvador. Can be translated as: little female pig, is that literal haha. Tunkita, is a character that we're developing along with my wife, to be released as a web comic character in the near future (in the fashion of sunday newspaper strips)

    Hey guys! Just wanted to share a little character I made for fun with Designer using some of my texture brushes. Any comment will be more than welcome as always! Cheers!

    Hey mikerofoto, Love the outcome in general! And yes, it depends on the lighting, the subject, the composition... the results will be totally different from shot to shot. I like that you've taken the presets further by fine tweaking and combining them, my personal favorite is Copper View, looks very cinematic. Love that one!
  23. Frankentoon Studio
    That sounds great! tell me how it works out if you try the pack :D
