On top of these they donned raiment worthy of the greatest duke: all of them were clad in silk from the land of Greece, adorned with golden thread; their mantles were lined with squirrel-fur and bordered with sable; their surcoats were lined with gold-spangled ermine.

Affinity by Serif (now part of Canva) is a graphics software that I use for most of the character sheets and other materials.

I actually primarily use Affinity Publisher, which was the version around when I was introduced to it, and the related Affinity Designer1, though I’ve made some things in the newer combined studio program too.

I’ve found especially the Publisher aspect of things valuable for working with my ideas, even though I’m hardly an expert2. Compared to previous work in GIMP3 and other tools, the work I’m able to make is a ton more ambitious and convenient.

Footnotes

  1. In v1 and v2 of the suite of Affinity products, the two applications (and Affinity Photo which I don’t have) would interoperate if you owned both (with a few caveats - it is sometimes a little easier to open up Designer for a few specific things), but in v3 it’s all just one app from the start. ↩

  2. I brute force a lot of things, especially in the area of templates and shared style formats, that I shouldn’t. ↩

  3. Which, don’t get me wrong, is a good product. ↩
