affinity designer Kraken - the oh so fluorescent one

[bbwebdiz]

Hey Gang.. :)

 

Having a blast learning A.Designer. This is my first take on a vector drawing. I'll show more as soon as i get the time to work on this :)

 

Oh, did i mention this is ALL freakin' VECTOR? yeah.. the light rays too... that seamlessly blend with the background :O 

 

the biggest wow for me was.. a layer above every other layer, which has a gradient, noise, and overlay blend mode.. it ties everything together sooo goood... 

 

i think im falling in love with you Affinity -.- but i have a girlfriend, darn...

Hi, and thank you :)

 

Each time i work in Designer, it amazes me.. 

i was playing around with those two tentacles, and ended up having a lot of effects, ranging from gradients, with opacity on colors, to opacity itself, to 3d effect etc... the possibilities man..

 

i think i overdid it :)

Lol. I'm sure you've learned some new tricks along the way. And surely it was a lot of fun doing it.

That's a good sign when you focus on your work and not on fighting with the software to get things done :)

This is why Serif keeps on winning awards - FUN: fast usable and nifty :P
