Affinity Designer 2 can be used to create 3D illustrations. This video will show you how I made “Patina.” You can use these techniques for your projects.
This video also verifies that my art - no matter the simplicity & crudeness - is made by a human being and not A.I.

Steps used to create this image in Affinity Designer:
1. Create a circle (ellipse).
2. Use the 3D effect found within the “Quick Effects” on the ellipse.
3. Click on the gear to gain access to more settings.
4. Choose where the light source will be placed and copy the azimuth and elevation numbers.
5. Go into the “Pixel Persona.”
6. Find a brush of your choice and choose a color.
7. Paint on the ellipse.
8. Select your pixel layer.
9. Choose the “Bevel” in the quick effects tab.
10. Play with the settings until you get what you desire.
11. Input the azimuth and elevation numbers you copied.
12. The effect will “carve” the brush into the ellipse. If you want the brush to “stick out,” continue.
13. Go to your “Highlight & Shadow” section within the bevel effect.
14. Switch the back to white and white to black.
15. Make sure your blend modes correspond to the white (“Screen”) and black (“Multiply”). You can choose any color or blend mode you wish.
You are finished with the steps.

Blue Morning, a LIVECAST song by Foreigner, was fun to do under the overpass. Busking, could be my new thing.
Blue Morning is a song that came out in the late 70s (I thought it was the early 80s...oops), sounds like someone had a bad relationship and wrote a song about it, which is most likely the case. Reading over the lyrics on my way out to livecast got me to thinking about the arguments I've had and man, this song hits home on many fronts. I love it when songwriters really know what they're doing.
Only 67 days left...
Lyrics:
Out in the street it's 6 am, another sleepless night
Three cups of coffee, but I can't clear my head from what went down last night
No we won't have our own little ways, but somehow we keep it together
You hear me talk, but you don't hear what I say, I guess it don't even matter
Blue morning, blue day, won't you see things my way?
Blue morning, can't you see what your love has done to me?
I've always listened to your point of view, my ways are cut through men
And I've always been a patient man, but my patience has reached its end
You tell me you're leaving, you tell me goodbye
You say you might send a letter
Well honey don't telephone, cause I won't be alone
I need someone to make me feel better
Blue morning, blue day, won't you see things my way?
Blue morning, can't you see what your love has done to me?
Blue morning, blue day, won't you see things my way?
Blue morning, can't you see what your love has done to me?
Blue morning, blue morning
Blue morning, blue morning
Blue morning, blue morning
Blue, blue, blue day, yeah

Be Still My Soul is a hymn that I haven't heard in years. It's one of those songs that has a sensitivity in it's melody.
lBe Still My Soul was sung this morning during church by a wonderful Soprano by the name of Elizabeth Gibson. Her sweet voice reminded me of how wonderful this hymn was. It was also made better by her being accompanied by my wife Sonja. It's wonderful when two talented people come together to sing something wonderful, or by that matter, share their gifts to give glory to God. Since this morning, the hymn has been going through my head all day, which is why I did it for day 293.
I had some company as you will see at the end of the video. Thanks Joe for giving me a ride and for listening.
Only 72 days left...
Lyrics:
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide,
who through all changes faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly Friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
to guide the future surely as the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
all now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
his voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.
Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
when we shall be forever with the Lord;
when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

I don't know why but Metallica seems to be on my mind. They're an awesome band that has been around for a long time.
