Thanks a lot! I drew this in about 49minutes all in with the cheapest mechanical and normal pencils I had laying around (I run out of the 3mm leads I usually use for drawing). I am pleased that ‘rushing’ the drawing and leaving detail out in places, worked out well for this drawing.

Affinity photo is/was a frustrating beast. It lacked some really basic functionality like not being able to see how big your marquee selection was.
Even weirder, you could do in Affinity Designer

To be fair, for games for the original playstation, it was best to keep 3d models as one mesh to help its GPU work out Z order.
That's where my 'one mesh per model' paranoid habit came from anyway.

When I purchased my PC with a copy of Windows 11, I literally never asked for this.
It's like ordering an ice-cream and the vendor squirting bolognaise sauce on it as you're eating it.

I did have a sacrificial ‘pub bike’ (hybrid I got off Facebook for £40 that I wouldn’t be upset if it got nicked) but the back wheel buckled and I gave it away.
