I tossed my tarot deck years ago, but was curious about specific cards for work things, so was re-looking at a Rider-Waite deck. Along the way, I got distracted by How White most decks are. Then got curious about reproducing cleaned-up cards. How hard might it be to recreate a card using #Inkscape? It'd give me a sense of how good an #AffinityDesigner replacement Inkscape is.
...So that's how I ended up with a pair of disembodied legs walking off a cliff on a Friday night.
And some silly stuff for the end of the day.
Soon I will have the premier of Shostakovich's Rayok so I made this small token for the premier for my colleagues. It will be postcard

I had some unlucky timing in trying to migrate from #Adobe to #Affinity. They shut the store down pending a major announcement at the end of October, right after I started my trial. Well, a bit of relief: They re-enabled any trials that were started after September 20th, and bumped them to a full 30 days, so that will get me past the big news, whatever that is. Now I can keep working on my migration in the mean time.
Playing around with a few new mask designs for AnimeNJ++ next month~

Would you trust a company that closes its entire (free / Europe hosted!) support forum three weeks before a “major innovation” in order to “move” to Discord as its support platform, and then fails to respond to 25 pages and a total of 625 comments of criticism from users (genuine criticism, not just grumbling and aggregated within a bit more than a week )with a single word, and closes the forum anyway?

Würdest du einem Unternehmen trauen, dass drei Wochen vor einer „großen Neuerung“ das komplette (freie!) Support-Forum schließt um auf Discord als Support-Plattform „umzuziehen“ und auf 25 Seiten und insgesamt 625 Kommentaren Kritik seitens der Nutzenden (wirklich Kritik, kein Geätze!) innerhalb von nur etwas über einer Woche nicht mit einer einzigen Silbe reagiert und das Forum trotzdem schließt?

My drawing of Lady Violet Crawley and Carson of Downton Abbey. Calling it done for now, but might darken her wrinkles later 😄
Depicting older people sure pose different challenges.

Lady Violet Crawley with Carson
Downton AbbeyPolitics aside, I truly love a lot of the TV series created by Julian Fellowes and in my opinion, Downton Abbey is the crown jewel in his production. Really great actors, well written story arches and characters that are easy to care for and the most perfect job from hair & make-up, wardrobe and set design. Immaculate photography – just a continual series of small Fabergé eggs in video format.
Did I say I like it, like a lot?

Serif makes Affinity iPad apps free amid sudden changes and upcoming major announcement | AlternativeTo

Damn I just knew Canva would eventually kill Affinity and force users to subscriptions...
"Affinity has announced that it is making "big changes" on October 30 and, in the lead-up to that date, has stopped selling its software altogether."
I've been using Affinity apps + Sketch/Figma + Penpot + Pixelmator to discontinue my use of Adobe completely for design.

😞 Das dürfte es für #Affinity (#AffinityPhoto, #AffinityDesigner und #AffinityPublisher) gewesen sein? Apps nicht mehr in den App-Stores erhältlich, ebenfalls nicht über die offizielle Website. Dazu Werbemail: „Die kreative Freiheit kommt. Erleben Sie es zuerst. 30. Oktober.“
Zudem wird das Suppoert-Forum geschlossen, weil auf fckng Discord umgeswitcht wird.
Sorry, bei dem Mist bin ich raus.
War leider absehbar, seit #Canva Serif aufgekauft hat. Ich erwarte Abozwang & AI-Dreck am 30. Oktober.
Found this in my emails this morning from Affinity. Not at all ominous...
Affinity website is down too with the same message.
As if I needed any more things to fret about.
Guess I'm still salty about #Serif #Affinity closing their community forums and moving to #Discord, but what are the odds whatever this is is subscription-only? :P

Today, in another bad to worse news, you cannot buy #Affinity products.
Why? Word on the street seems to be a subscription model like #Adobe.
