Here's my latest upload and work in Affinity Designer! Please click the picture below and enjoy 2hrs of finest drum'n'bass alongside some coloring! Thanks for your precious time!

🇬🇧 Style exercise: I have had this watch for several years and I wanted to do an illustration of it. So, macro photographs, documentary research with the PDF file of the manufacturer's user manual, visuals gleaned from the web, dimensions taken directly from the watch (difficult and ineffective in the end), search for typographies (Eurostyle essentially)... I capitalized my time by focusing on the construction of the dial, hoping that the observer would not see the less “realistic” and refined parts: I did not want to spend too many hours on this project, so I adopted a production-optimization strategy (and also on the optical confusion caused by reflections on chrome surfaces…). So I took care of the construction, the symmetries, the few textures, the elimination of right angles (which do not exist in real reality) and the coherence of the lighting. I neglected the exterior of the dial. The leather is a hack based on several compiled and rasterized visuals. Note: I noticed slowdowns in the display of the illustration with the use of Live Filters Addition of grain and Blur (AD v2.4 - Mac Mini M1 16 GB - BenQ PD2700U 4K in HDMI). 🇫🇷 Exercice de style : je possède cette montre depuis quelques années et je voulais en faire une illustration. Donc, photographies en macro, recherche documentaire avec le fichier PDF de la notice d'utilisateur du constructeur, visuels glanés sur le web, prises de dimensions directement sur la montre (difficile et inefficace au final) recherche des typographies (Eurostyle essentiellement)… J'ai capitalisé mon temps en me focalisant sur la construction du cadran en espérant que l'observateur ne voit pas les parties moins “réalistes” et affinées : je ne voulais pas passer trop d'heures sur ce projet, donc j'ai adopté une stratégie de production-optimisation (et aussi sur la confusion optique que procure les reflets sur des surfaces chromées…). J'ai donc soigné la construction, les symétries, les quelques textures, la suppression des angles droits (qui n'existent pas dans la réalité vraie) et la cohérence de l'éclairage. J'ai négligé l'extérieur du cadran. Le cuir est une bidouille en partant de plusieurs visuels compilés et rastérisés. Nota : j'ai noté des ralentissements sur l'affichage de l'illustration avec l'utilisation des Live Filters Ajout de grain et Flou (AD v2.4 - Mac Mini M1 16 Go - BenQ PD2700U 4K en HDMI).

Another video! When I lived on the Isle of Wight, we could hardly move without falling over a Morris Dancer. As a folksinger, I naturally met and made friends with a lot of dancers and musicians there. Some years ago, a lady name Helen Akitt wrote this funny song poking gentle fun at her Morris chums, a parody of the lovely song The Whitsun Dance, and I've been singing it ever since I discovered it. The assets in this still--the grass, trees and flowers--actually came from DrawPlus. I saved them as svg and imported them into AD. The unusual format with decorations down each side is because I made the 'pages' in A3 format with a view to printing them some time; YouTube resizes everything to 16:9, which would leave black bars at the sides. And now I'm going to have a rest . . .

Learning the Affinity Designer Tools, I wanted to draw up a quick Superman sketch and ink/color in Affinity Designer. Pretty straightforward, draw, scan, pen tool, and color.

I was going to say that I am fairly new to the Affinity Suite but thinking back, I guess that I started in 2019. I have used all three extensively since I found them. I am another one who moved away from Adobe after many years, which I started when it was creative suite 3 and I upgraded and subscribed all the way along. I use Affinity just for fun now, since I have retired, but I still find much joy in being creative. I typically use Affinity to create images and whatnot for use in my 3D projects, as image wraps, and the like. I'll share two projects that share some assets. The first is my sardine can. I created this after I spent time drawing a clip art fish as a challenge to myself. I did borrow two assets from Pixaby - the tomatoes and the sailing ship. The second is my three fishes pub sign, also created in Affinity Designer. I sure am glad that I happened across the Affinity products. BTW, I am just posting to share my work and sort of introduce myself. I am not looking for critiques.

My latest picture quiz round. Tv set created in designer. 20 placeholders inside the TV image for the images. All images converted to B&W and a levels adjustment on the majority of images. I created masks to obliterate the backgrounds in the images to take away the fussy details. in APhoto. designed on an A4 will be enlarged to A3 one per team on the night. Comments on the creation and final (almost) presentation as always are welcome. have fun with identifying the faces. As always I look forward to @William Overington blistering observations which are 2nd to none

I create most of the Quizzes for my local bowls club and I always l try to make the half time break quiz a bit different. Most of the time I just hash a picture quiz together with no shape of form but I thought of this design for the latest picture quiz. the 16 Box layout and numbers created in Designer. The rest of the work in Photo. I usually just pick images at random but sometimes with a theme. This one has a theme which once guessed makes the quiz even easier.

Hello, just here the pleasure of sharing graphic covers of 33LP vinyl covers of some of my favorite musicians in the form of high resolution wallpapers (5120 x 2800 px) saved in .PNG... I hope you will like it... 😉

The plural of "rabbit" is "rabbi", right? Well anyway, here's an illustration I did for my wife (the rabbit fanatic...we have owned as many as 7 at one time!) Done in AD v2.3.1, with a few trips to the Photo Persona and Affinity Photo for some filter effects. I created two Artboards in AD so I could create different versions. Hope you like them. Cheers.

we are a company from Sri Lanka doing designing and developing. I'm personally loving affinity because of the how simple and easy to use this is my latest work check out

Today I've finished creating designs for Pajamas for some of the Characters of the Animation Short I'm currently working on. Happily used Affinity designer to create these designs!

Latté anyone? Curious to see if I could realistically replicate latté-art. Created with Designer v2.3.1.

I made this for a french festival using mix of vector & pixels with few time to do it. (Using affinity suite since V1, I will never come back to Adobe suite. Evreything is quicker, easier and fits my needs perfectly : focusing on creativity and not struggling and wasting time to make things work as it should.)

I like jaguars, they appear in my dreams. This is a work in progress. 100% vector, no pixels, no vector brushes (which aren't vectors). Most recent stage on top, vector outline view in the middle and jaguar in a virtual 3D frame at the bottom. After this, I will add hair texture with my Huion 620 Pro drawing tablet (not looking forward to that), which will make the vector outline of objects / layers difficult to distinguish. In my portfolio blog the various stages are included - https://communicats.blogspot.com/2024/03/vector-painting-of-jaguar.html In the bottom section of this blog entry you will also find tips on how to make working in drawings that contain a plethora of objects / layers less difficult and time consuming.

Another one! You may know the old cowboy song, The Streets of Laredo, and you may even know of some other parodies, notably by the Smothers Brothers. This one is possibly older than the SBs'; writers' details in thevideo titles. All made in AD and Serif MoviePlus. (I came across this version on the Mudcat Cafe (https://mudcat.org/), a great source of serious and humorous songs, and a great forum too.)

Latest ticket template 9.4x 6.6cm. everything created in Designer apart from Elvis image and creating the page numbering in and printing from publisher. Size is designed to give me an n-up print of 9 to an A4 page on a colour laser.

Millenia pass and with Mark as its Emperor the Viltrumite nation grows from strength to strength. With peaceful expansion now on his mind, Mark reaches out to the farthest corners of the universe, discovering new planets and lost civilizations… not all are thriving. On one new planet, darkness has taken over, and its Masters have gone. A whisper calls out to Mark as he wanders the baron land, drawn to a castle in the distance. Wedged in its mighty wooden doors is a rusty old sword. Mark reaches out to grasp the hilt of this leftover relic. A sentence screams into Marks mind… “By the power of Greyskull, I HAVE THE POWER!!” Don't know why but I felt compelled to create this! lol Initial sketch - Artflow Inks - Clip Studio (I did attempt to ink in Designer with vectors, but just wasn't happy the results) Colours and Logo created in Affinity Designer. I also used Affinity Photo do to some liquify and fix elements. It's not perfect, but I'm attempting to create more!!!

Flyer I designed.

I began the illustrations for this in AD V1, but it went on the back burner for ages. I recently finished them -- all in V2 -- and yesterday I put the video together. Billy Bennett was a very popular 'comic turn' on the Variety stage in the 1920s and 1930. He specialised in songs an monologues, includng parodies of well-known 'straight' monologues.

This is an update 1.1 of project Akili. Which version do you prefer? Thanks. Tools: Affinity Photo, Affinity Publisher Let's connect: https://www.behance.net/bah-is-life https://www.instagram.com/bah_is_life/

I recently illustrated a Zebra Swallowtail Butterfly (Protographium marcellus) for my brother. He wanted a photo, which I did not have, so I decided to create an illustration for him instead. I used AD v2.31., but spent a lot of time in the Pixel Persona. I also made a few trips to Affinity Photo for a few features that AD does not support. Hope you like it.

In the “Resources” section, I posted all of the vectorized pictograms that I used to create these visuals in the form of Assets…

This started off life as a quick colour study for an oil painting I’ve been planning and wasn’t meant to be anything more, but - as usual - I started getting obsessed with adding the detail, and so here we are. I’ll still work on the painting, but I’m really happy with the vector version so thought I’d share. Hope you like her!

... or one of those typical forum discussions. 🤔 😉
