Testing Studio Artist
Studio Artist will be releasing an upgrade very soon.
Easily the most fun software I have ever encountered for making all kind of visuals.

A house in Blotville
Textured presets from Studio Artist.
They draw this way. Lots of texture.

Giants
Giants
I remember a challenge question along the lines of:
Illustrate the word "giant".
Try to avoid cliches of previous representations AND size comparisons...
The one without the other... "giant" without something not giant...
None of these are that. But exploring character looks pays off in other ways.

IF: Imaginary Friend(s)?
Some fun with Studio Artist and wet wash like effects.
More fun with interesting hatch effects with SA.

Happy Halloween!

Made with Affinity Designer 1.6
Custom brushes (many can be found from links here)

fun little comps.
Literally little Photoshop comps.
Done tiny - these cant have much detail. They have to be about the layout.
Oddly - no tool I have is as easy to use for fast comping as Photoshop. The program gets this level of job done without the strange hinderances that other programs throw into the process.
Just the brush and layers.
Colors for comping - dropped back so far they (hopefully) dont influence actual color design of the final art.
Probably should have dropped it to grey scale - but no color is no fun.

Spider and Fly
A take on the classic using Affinity Designer.
A color version (original) and sepia alternative.
This interpretation was based on a rough done for a book of nursery rhymes.
I liked the comp for its different feel and colors (tho not the original spider).
And then there were some other ideas tried as well.
The mushroom stairs comp:
This was closer to the final version that was finally cut from the book.
The modern slant - with tech being the seductive element.
