Hi All, I'm David Wildish I've been skulking around the forums for a while and posted a few bit of artwork. I'm a graphic designer with over 10 years experience in the publishing and advertising field, I turned freelance at the start of this year under the branding Flokk Creative Ltd - www.flokkcreative.co.uk. My main love is illustration, I'm rarely without a pen or pencil, scribbling some random crap and like to play with a range of styles. My illustration pieces have been a valuable marketing tool and have recently turned into a niche service I provide for design agencies and clients who require my vector skills. I used Quark back in the day, before migrating to the Adobe way of life...however, I have been seriously hoping for a decent alternative to the Adobe cash cow - having never really falling in love with Illustrator, which seamed to lack obvious additions such as quick way to flip items and the huge glut of pallets always required to be open. I was very pleased to stumble upon the Affinity beta, and purchased on the morning of release - I have high hopes for the publishing and photo packages due soon. It would be good to have a gallery area, or showcase site, to encourage artist to upload and share artworks.

Just noticed you both like drawing cars too.... I have a collection of Iconic cars I made a while back. Seeing both of yours has wet my appetite to take a look at some new additions.

Sorry just noticed I posted this in questions rather than requests....oops
-
Sorry to add to your probably huge and very long list of requests this is not a essential, but something that helps speeds up a daily process.... When setting up area as such as bleed and guides etc, after entering the first value in "other" programs hitting tab will fill all remaining boxes with the same value. Presently each box has to be manually entered. Not at all essential just a nice touch to add, when including the bleed options :)

Not if its the same Apple account, as Apple see's it, your purchasing a licence for you not each machine.

Ive always wanted to use an iPad as a graphics tablet....is this the same thing as mirroring?
-
Morning jbw, hope you enjoying Affinity...Im totally in love with it.
-
Thank you, its testament to the stability of the software....I did go a little crazy with the layers, but it did not slow, lag at all while creating this.

Have you guys thought of approaching schools and offering your software either free or reduced cost? In the early day I think most of us would have to own up to 'acquiring' a copy of Adobes offering to learn the skills that would be otherwise impossible, because lets be honest what kid can afford a £1000 design suit? My son is in his last year of school and is completing a GCSE in graphic design, I was shocked to find out that the school did not teach any correct form of Adobe software only paint shop pro and an old copy of fireworks. If kids where to learn this off the bat, and leave school loving the software and equally it did not cripple the school to provide it as a learning tool. I think it would provide you a solid foundation of loyal users wanting to move forward and use this in the professional world.

Fantastic news
-
Sneak peak of the piece Im working on at the moment...It's got a tad complicated, but I have to report the software has not lagged, frozen or crashed once. So pleased with it, I had to finish a couple of projects in illustrator earlier and missed Affinity.

Thank you very much :) A dropper tool would be fantastic...I have also used it in illustrator to clone text styles from one box to another also, so is a massive time saver. As a good substitute I have found the styles pallets works well, and I have integrated into my work flow very easily.
-
Hi George, great monster. I am very pleased you sussed this, for me there is a purity about creating artwork as vector, rather than purely raster.
-
Edit Found the eye dropper but it doesn't do what I would like it to do :(
-
About 3 hours to sketch and 4 hours to vector (ish)...its full of learning errors and could do with work on the brushes though ;) It was fun though yes...Ive been sketching these since the 90s
