Mr. Doodlezz Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Hello folks, My name is Dennis. I created this pixelated self-portrait a few days ago. Started it in Dottable, a pixel-art app on a mobile phone, then traced it in Affinity Designer with the grid snap feature. Then I added a few grunge textures over masked areas, imported it into Affinity Photo, and finished it off with LUT filters and monochrome noise for a subtle paper-like feel. I like how precisely the applications work together and that you can add pixel-based textures directly in Affinity Designer without having to change the application, it integrates very fluidly into the workflow. Anyway, I hope you like the result. Dennis aka MrDoodlezz paolo.limoncelli, ronniemcbride, dannyg9 and 11 others 14 Quote

Mr. Doodlezz Posted August 17, 2015 Author Posted August 17, 2015 I played around with this old RAW file that I took two years ago at a fair called "DOM". It's a pretty blurry photo of a ride with a lot of bokeh - Affinity Photo can't really decipher much here, but I like the textures anyway. Processing steps: increased contrast reduced noise added controlled noise added clarity I have also tried to recreate something like a frosted glass pane with various live filters. Since the colours matched my personal colour scheme perfectly, I used the result as a Facebook banner. MattP and GDPR-365024 2 Quote
Malcolm Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Like the portrait. Have you played Sword and Sworcery I think you might like it! Mr. Doodlezz 1 Quote
Mr. Doodlezz Posted August 18, 2015 Author Posted August 18, 2015 Oh yes, thanks Malcom! I actually played it some time ago – it’s awesome! But I got stuck at some point. Might give another try. The soundtrack is very nice too, listening to it sometimes. The Prettiest Weed is pretty sweet. Quote
Mr. Doodlezz Posted August 18, 2015 Author Posted August 18, 2015 Here's another design I created today. It's some kind of stylized album cover named after a subway line in the city I live in. It is a combination of both worlds - vectors and pixels. Haha, please don't judge me, but lately I like to put a noise filter on top of everything else … makes everything look more real, more organic. As if it were printed on really thick, fibrous, high-quality paper. GDPR-365024 and penwiper 2 Quote
peter Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 don’t judge me, but recently I really like to play around with adding noise to about everything … :) That's exactly how I feel, some pictures are screaming for text to be added, you know like the cherry-on-the-cake. It's even better when the artist in question, gives you their seal of approval. :D :D :D They like to know how they've inspired others. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/11695-from-chinas-style/ Quote MacBook pro, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, OS X 10.11.6 http://www.pinterest.com/peter2111
Mr. Doodlezz Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 Shoot, I started working on this before I hit the record button, dammit. Watch me apply digital hatching to some areas of my Red Riding Rebel illustration. Red Riding Rebel is my approach for a modern Little Red Riding Hood with a martial arts background. The Character is a part of my five-part series on "Grimm's Fairy Tale". I have already discarded some elements and redesigned them. The burden of creativity. Also someone has to tell me how I can embed videos on the site, because I just can't get it right. Hope you enjoy. Quote
Mr. Doodlezz Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 Uuuh … just for fun. The new shape-tools are quite interesting, they offer a lot of possibilities to try out. Quote
Mr. Doodlezz Posted August 30, 2015 Author Posted August 30, 2015 Maybe I'll start a little series. Quote
Mr. Doodlezz Posted October 10, 2015 Author Posted October 10, 2015 Oh, yeah! So this is one of my most recent designs, and I have to admit I'm pretty proud of it. It's a big part - if not the entirety - of my graduation project, now a few weeks old. The logo and characters were created entirely in Affinity Designer and then engraved into the varnish on the underside of a skateboard. In addition, backgrounds, mock-ups, and print items were created entirely in Affinity Photo. But I urgently need Affinity Publisher for layouts of the print products. I want to say goodbye to Adobe completely and as soon as possible. I can't wait, ha! Here is a small preview, please click on the picture to see the complete project in high quality on Bēhance! And feel free to leave a comment or like if you enjoy what you see. Madame, GDPR-365024 and ronnyb 3 Quote

Mr. Doodlezz Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 A recent, minimalistic design of mine combining both Affinity apps for different effects. Let me know what you think about it. ;) Quote
Mr. Doodlezz Posted November 11, 2016 Author Posted November 11, 2016 Okay … I'ma bit late with this one. But hey, there’s always »The Nightmare Before Christmas«, right? This illustration was created with both apps, Affinity Designer and Photo. I used Frankentoons Texturizer brushes (they're awesome) and finished up with some additional textures and filters from the Google Nik Collection. I also limited my palette to four rather unusual base colours. Let me know what you think. Cheers Dennis Oh, I forgot: here’s the sketch I was working on … Quote
