PROJECT: PORTRAITS TITLE: SISTAH A series of portraits inspired by people, nature and ideas from all corners of our world. For this second one we travel to the Caribbean to meet SISTAH. Sistah is a term of endearment used to refer to female friends, family members, and even strangers in Jamaican culture. It conveys a sense of closeness, respect, and affection. Sistah also represents a sense of sisterhood, camaraderie, and mutual support. It's a way of acknowledging and celebrating the unique bond that exists between women. It is a powerful symbol of Jamaican culture, embodying the strength, resilience, and unity of women.

PROJECT: PORTRAITS TITLE: KAKA A series of portraits inspired by people, nature and ideas from all corners of our world. For this third one we travel to Zanzibar to meet KAKA. The word "kaka" is a Swahili word that means "brother." It is a ubiquitous term in Swahili conversations, used to address both older and younger brothers. It's a way of acknowledging the fraternal bond and establishing a sense of respect and camaraderie. The term extends beyond biological brothers, encompassing male friends, acquaintances, and even strangers. It's a term of endearment, often used to express affection, admiration, and support. The bond between "kaka" is characterized by mutual respect, loyalty, and a sense of shared responsibility.

The Green Eye of the Yellow God, aka The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God, is a dramatic monologue written in 1910 by J Milton Hayes. Despite one or two comic parodies, it's still a Ripping Yarn if delivered straight; you can look up the words, or a recitation on YouTube. Meanwhile, I thought it would make a good subject for a 1960s-style pulp paperback cover (though it would be a very short book, as it will fit on a single page). Made in Designer, with a couple of pixel texture layers.

A series of portraits inspired by people, nature and ideas from all corners of our world. For this first one we travel to East Africa to meet DADA. Dada is a Swahili word which refers to a female sibling. It's a term of endearment and familiarity, often used within the family circle. The term conveys a sense of closeness and protectiveness. Dada can also be used to address any female friend or acquaintance. Similar to how "sister" can be used as a term of endearment in English, It's a way to express warmth and connection beyond familial ties. Dada is imbued with positive connotations, carrying a sense of affection, respect, and regard. When addressing someone as "dada," you're expressing a level of familiarity and care, acknowledging their presence and value. It's a way of showing that you hold the person in high esteem.

Hello, I'm an independent and freelance TTRPG creator. One of the projects I'm a part of is an upcoming Werewolf: the Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Ed. Community Content Supplement called Werewolf: the Essentials. I made an illustration of Kinfolk (non-werewolf relatives of werewolves) warding away death spirits from an injured relative. I primarily used the Photo/Pixel persona of Designer so I could have my reference images visible and surrounding the artboard. Linked instead of embedded because the image contains depictions of injury. There's also a lot of WIP shots in the link. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/LRGD1w

Hey guys! Here's what I do on Photo and/or Designer in combination with my fortnightly radio show WallPlugTuna on bbz.ru. Any feedback is welcome: https://odysee.com/@WallPlugTuna:1/WPT326:4 Thanks for your time!

My very first project with Affinity Designer is an abstract picture. I learned a lot. I only missed the fill layer. What is the equivalent in Designer? In my project I have used a simple rectangle shape.

"Faucet's Last Bath". The faucet is fully designed in Affinity Designer, than animated in 2d using Moho Pro and than finished in 3d in Blender. last-bath-marked-720plow-24fps.mp4

Yes!! Super glad I can finally share this Music Video Visuals with Character Animations now. Put a lot of work, time and effort into this one and had to 'kill many darlings' during the process, but with no regrets! Design and Illustrations were all made in Affinity Designer. Also the new Spiral tool was great for doing the inner wound tapes! That tool arrived just in time! Animation was completely done in Moho 14 Pro. I've made and audio mastered the music, and also programmed Moho plugin scripts to use the Affinity Designer Spine JSON export to export all graphics as trimmed PNG's and import these with all auto-positioning into Moho quickly and easily. I've also written a script to animate the tape deck by keyframing on speed and accelerations instead of animating on angles. Hope you enjoy it as much as I had while creating it! 🙂 And if you do, please also like it on Youtube for the algorithm and stuff! Would be nice!

Created this vector portrait long ago in Affinity Designer. Left it and returned to work on it recently. It currently (January 2024) is a work in progress. Rendering of drawing in 3D frame 2D vector drawing view This was done years ago and resumed vector drawing at the end of the previous year. I am forced to work in Designer, because Photo does not start up. Designer and Publisher run after starting them up three times. I filed a bug report on this matter in Bug in Windows.

Forgot to share this one, but still happy with it The graphics were fully designed using Affinity Designer and animated using Moho Pro. The music I made using Ableton Live. Hope you like it!

A quick one keeping things simple, a few conical gradients etc. Might tidy things up if I decide I like it.

Hats off to you pure vectorists out there. I keep trying! But I got to say I am enjoying seamlessly leveraging both Vecotor and Rastor graphics in the same image. All on the ipad no less! https://www.instagram.com/p/BmRAerOAluz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Hello and greetings to all. This is more an idea in progress than a finished piece. Inspired after seeing a small wooden carving from Poland (see inset pic). Thanks also to the industrious hardworking Serif teams and forum support staff.
