Very good work!

Five Finger Voting - A quick-and-dirty illustration for a presentation slide.

Thank you!
I'll hold a rather boring business presentation on Wednesday. I'm counting on this picture to wake the audience up a bit. :-)

I did make a new version where all the text is centered, black, and immediately under the title. That works a bit better.
I can't upload the file to the forum. Might be a bit too large. I'm off to work in a few minutes, but I can upload a lower resolution picture tonight, when I get back home, if you want to see it.

Yes last one from @Wosven looks better and less “heavy” on the left side.. and a lot more easy to read. Personally I’d choose a little more “stylish” and interesting font/typography but it’s more eye catching than before :-) 
Im not sure, but I think maybe I would (at least try to) switch the side of the two bottom pictures to weight it even more too, but do t know before tested :-) 
Maybe try to play a little with different colors of the text too, to try to make it a little less hard. 
I’m not an expert, but.. 
hope you take it only as constructive criticism :-) 

Nice idea. I'd rather go for centered text. (And thanks for inspiring me with those pics).

Thanks to Serif I officially pulled the plug on Adobe. 

This is a selfie. I shot the photo of myself in the tunnel over a year ago. My initial attempts at adding tentacles did not work out too well.
A couple of months ago, I made a new attempt. I rendered the tentacles in Daz Studio, composited in Affinity Photo, and painted in Dynamic Auto-Painter.
I created several different versions. This is the one my son likes the best.

Good point about the font. I tested with a heavier one, and it does increase legibility.
The white text is not ideal, but it'll have to do.

Have a nice day.

love this, my attempt is pitifull compaird

This is a composite done in Affinity Photo. The city is a 3D model rendered in Daz Studio. I photographed the elephant in the Gothenburg museum of natural history.

I often use Affinity Photo in combination with other software, like Daz Studio and Dynamic Auto-Painter.
Arachnophobia I was fairly easy to do. I shot the background at the Primus Vicus medieval village outside Halmstad, in Sweden. Then I rendered the spider and the viking shieldmaiden in Daz Studio, and composited using Affinity Photo.
Arachnophobia II was done in a similar manner. The main difference is that I had help from two live models, Petra Brewitz and Peter Markusson. The castle in the background of the final image is Borgholm castle on Öland.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Hi, I was just looking at a couple of your posts and was very impressed with what you have done with compositing and Dynamic Auto-Painter (also your T-Rex mouth-cam, which was great fun).
I do think that 3D models lend themselves very well to a natural media finish - partly because of the uncanny valley. Photos of faces that have been filtered this way, often fail to sell the effect because it can't hide the exactness of the photographic source, while the little failings in a 3D model that gives rise to the uncanny valley in photo-realism, actually help sell a natural media effect, suggesting the imperfect hand of an artist over the perfect rendition of film.

I photographed the model Noor Model Noor in an old factory in Gothenburg, rendered the T-Rex in Daz Studio, and composited in Affinity Photo.
A fun shoot with a very professional model, and, as always, a lot of fun to do the composite in Affinity Photo.

I've been working on how to create book covers that imitate those of the pulpy paperbacks of years past. The idea was to work on a method that others could use as a viable - and so necessarily cheap - option for the self and Indie publishing market. I had been making do with an old version of Photoshop Elements that came with my Bamboo Fun & Touch tablet but decided to take the plunge and try Affinity Photo when I got a new computer, and that turned out to be a very good decision.
So... I start off in a program nobody likes to mention - Poser. I'm not too fussy about render settings as so much is changed in post, what matters is the figure, the posing, and the lighting. The result is then opened in Affinity Photo, where I start with some adjustment layers (highlights/shadows, brightness/contrast, colour balance), along with a plug-in from Topaz called Simplicity. This result is then saved out and opened up in a paint program called Art Rage and then attacked with an oil brush and knife to leave me with a faux painting.
In Affinity Photo, I've been building some book cover templates and the faux painting is introduced there, with some wear and tear added for a display version. The two designs I've posted here were both based on Mike Shayne covers (the first is one I've seen copied by other publishers, the second is a bit of a classic - enough for someone to have created a font based on it).
For very simple designs like this - ie a single figure with one or two props, and also assuming a cover design template is used, then the production time can be between 2-3hrs. I believe that someone more skilled than myself can probably do both a better job of it and at a faster time but even at my speed, I think this could mean a low enough cost for the target market. I don't think I'm ever going to be sufficiently happy with my own efforts to enter that market myself (or, to be honest, with enough free time), so I would like to encourage others to have a go themselves.
