DelN Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Hi, Well, I am pleased to announce the arrival of my... 'Byzantium' Brushes of Gold for Affinity Photo Have fun with them... I'd LOVE to see what you create with them... 🙂 a And I'd love to hear what you think of them too... The brushes have taken an absolute age to create... All my brushes - the 'Nature' brushes and the 'Byzantium' Gold brushes for Affinity Photo - are free for all Affinity Photo users. The image below has been created in Affinity Photo using many of the brushes in the 'Byzantium' collection - to show you what I personally use this fabulous design program (Affinity Photo) for. I LOVE IT! Thank you Serif for making Affinity suite of design programs (Photo, Designer and Publisher) so affordable - and for not being greedy and forcing us to RENT your software (like Adobe). Your users respect that and will stay loyal to you...

Ashcat Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Wow….. the gold looks really “old” gold!!! Magnificant done!! DelN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelN Posted September 15 Author Share Posted September 15 Thanks, StuartRc, Glad you like them. Would love to see what you do with them. I like the tiles too. I've used Tile brushes that I created in Corel Painter for years. I just decided that I would create the brushes in Affinity Photo because I find them really useful, and adding a bevel to them makes them really 'pop'...

Alfred Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 A huge and superb collection of brushes, @DelN. That must have involved a ton of work! Thank you for sharing. For what little it’s worth, it looks as though someone has downloaded two copies of set 03 and no copies of set 04, instead of one of each.

DelN Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 Thanks, Alfred. Glad you like them. If someone did download two copies of set 03 and no copies of set 04, as you say, maybe they were in a rush to load them into Affinity Photo and get their hands on all the gold. He-he!

Sitaara Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Hi @DelN Not yet tried... but really excited to play with these.... I'm looking forward to it like a little kid. I will definitely report on it. Hihi!😆 I saw the cat... meow! DelN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelN Posted September 22 Author Share Posted September 22 Hi Sitaara, Ha-ha! Glad you saw the cat. Had a bit of fun with that cat; he looked like he'd been up all night... 😀 He appears in one or two of the gold brushes, which I think is funny... Looking forward to hearing what you think of the gold 'Byzantium' brushes. I've gone back to using my 'Nature' brushes for the next couple of pieces. I wanted to do a rough sea scene, but wasn't sure how to approach it. But I think it looks OK. Its finding the images, then removing the backgrounds and compositing them in a way that I'm happy with... DelN Sitaara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He-he! The gap seems to be widening, Del! The totals now stand at 26 for each of the first three sets, but only 23 for the fourth.

Sitaara Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Re-hi Del Yes, I found the cat in a gold bead... although I'm not quite sure whether it's a cat or perhaps Batman. These brushes are really great! I played around a bit, without really working very precisely. I filled a cut-out body with gold beads, decorated a bride and her dress, and enriched the fish with gold bubbles. And finally a self-portrait at the sight of all this richness. I also filled the text with gemstones. What an amazing job you've done adapting these brushes for Affinity! Thank you.

DelN Posted September 22 Author Share Posted September 22 It's a plot, Alfred. A dark and nefarious plot, like something from the mind of H. P. Lovecraft... A sinister stranger from a parallel world has infiltrated our own world (and the Affinity Forum) solely to bewilder and confuse us. Fear not! The Affinity Photo users in the Forum will fight him on the page in Affinity Photo. Quickly, we'll paint in some mist and fog and terrify him with mountains that rise up before him, trees from my 'Nature' brushes to create a deep, dark forest in which he'll get lost as he climbs higher and higher, stumbling over rocks created from my Rock brushes. We can paint in some mist and fog. Then we'll use our secret weapon - brushes of 'Byzantium' gold to create our weapons, our daggers, swords and spears, our shields. And all the Affinity users online will gather in 300dpi, and with brushes of gold we will dazzle and sparkle so brightly that he'll lose his footing on the mountain path, and stepping back, he'll fall to his death... Affinity Photo users prevail, triumphant in their victory. We have foiled the plot by the sinister stranger from a parallel world to baffle and confuse us, and henceforth set 03 and 04 of my free 'Byzantium' brushes of gold will be downloaded simultaneously... 😀 DelN Sitaara and Alfred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelN Posted September 22 Author Share Posted September 22 Thank you so much for sharing with me what's possible using the 'Byzantium' gold brushes. I love it! I particularly like the be-jewelled text you created, and the jewels along the bride's dress, and Emperor Cat's imperial crown, but my favourite are the jewels on his toes. Ha-ha! Wonderful! Just wonderful! I think there's a children's book there, Sitaara... And I'm intrigued by Alfred's analysis of the 'Byzantium' gold brushes downloads. I love it when things get surreal...

So I will look closer at al your brushes….. DelN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelN Posted September 23 Author Share Posted September 23 He-he! You can duplicate the brush which has the cat face in it, delete all the other brush images and sub-brushes, then you have a gold Cat Face only brush. 🙂 And all the while you are doing that, you are learning so much about the Affiniy Photo brushes (like me)...

DelN I have all my brushes categorized in maps such as nature, bubbles, graffity, chains, animals, flowers and more. Your brushes are in the map Gold. I’ve learned to sort them at my time with Photoshop, way back in the ‘90th. I downloaded the brushes from Brusheezy. When Photoshop CS3 was not what I wanted anymore I switched to Affinity. And yes, I’m still learning from all of you guys! 🤭💋 DelN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your brushes are in the map Gold. Just to avoid confusion on the part of the reader, in this context the term usually used in English is ‘folder’, not ‘map’.
