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

LOL What's wrong with that one? - I remember that Corel once had a huge user base on Win systems and was one of the main field players there in the past.
For iOS there are a lot of apps, sometimes I have the strange impression even more than for MacOS, seems to be still hype and everyone throws out the one or other app there. Another vector based is Vectornator there, though I can't tell how capable that one is in contrast.

thanks! i like your attitude! \m/\m/

ohhhh - gotcha! Thank you so much! I apologize, I work on the creative side of my brain and language escapes me occasionally! 
.... you know I don’t know either. I have found it extraordinarily frustrating, but because I’m not a technical person by nature, it’s difficult for me to be able to defend the work if I think for some reason there is some technical side of it that I have inadvertently been unaware of. I think I need to become more confident in My ability to defend the process and outcomes.
That said, you looking at this has also given me excellent ammunition  to defend the uploads,  should 99D come back to me and say that the files are not correct.  and you know I initially put in a request on their platform for help and information, and they still haven’t gotten back to me. Where as here, help was immediate, I’m so grateful for all of you.  
Really appreciate your input. Thanks so much! This is a really cool forum very helpful. Libbey

Hi all,
This is one of my latest projects for the Scooterola brand. If you can't see the video here, you can get it on http://scooterola.com/index.php/2019/02/24/the-illuminati-stole-my-scooter/
It's hand drawn, vectorised and worked up in AD.
I made a little 4 minute film of the process below:

As said, it's a right defined EPS file which also defines the used color space in the right way. - All EPS capable apps here, have no problem showing up that file ...

... thus I wonder why that shouldn't be an industry-standard EPS CMYK file (per what definition?).

Libbey,
Here's the good, the bad and the ugly.
Affinity Designer is exported a perfectly good EPS. Other applications open it, all as vector, all in CMYK.
Adobe Illustrator cannot cope with the gradient and rasterizes it.
If I change AD to use PostScript Level 2, AD informs the user it will rasterize some areas (i.e., the gradient).
I have no issues with your design exporting it from Xara Photo & Graphic Designer or CorelDraw and opening it in Illy.

Hi Mike, everything looked beautiful in AD file. jpgs turned out just fine.
According to 99designs They are not industry-standard EPS CMYK... This might just be a glitch but could you check? Only if you have time you’ve been such a big help. i’ve  just attached one file p, that’ll be representative of what I’m doing. (To be honest I wouldn’t supply these files in EPS format anyway - I’ve had zero problems when supplying vector-based PDF for print... But freelancer at the mercy of the machine, that’s me)

You're welcome, Libbey. 
You should be able to open the pdf, save as a revised AD version and continue on.
If you look at the layer panel, you will see clipped objects. The pieces making up the center objects. 
If you revise the pdf version and export as eps, I would be happy to check it in Illustrator. 
Mike

No need to die over this...
There are bitmaps in the file already. They will remain as bitmaps.
I am attaching an EPS file. Please open the PDF version in your PDF viewer and/or in AD. The EPS version will not open in AD. But it is identical to the EPS version.
I remade the shutter to be a single piece. Please review this carefully.
Take care, Mike

Hi Libbey and Welcome to the Forums,
Could you attach the .afdesign file and i'll look into this for you.  I suspect something that isn't support by the EPS format is being rasterized and causing this.  I'll know more once i have the file
