Umm.. Ive been a no Adobe Affinity convert for over a year now.

(And a Affinity user for years before that, just one who was also subbed to Adobe for PS/Lightroom and did most illu work in PS still)
That's exactly the competition I was talking about. I question whether Adobe would have taken this approach at all if it wasn't for Affinity and Procreate totally wiping the floor with them in this space. Full Photoshop for iPad would still be good for industry people who are locked into PS, and there are a LOT of those people, for better or worse. (I can see why practically - Affinity Photo still doesn't save text layers (etc) which can be edited in PS.

I realise you weren't asking me, but as another artist, I barely use my Cintiq anymore - and I was a huge Wacom fan for ~15 years. The iPad/Procreate combination is so good for sketching/painting I do so many more complete pieces there.. And Luna Display works very, very well at making the iPad into a Cintiq-like tablet for the Mac, for occasions where that might be needed. Only reason I keep my Cintiq is because its a nice 2nd display and makes my workstation more productive on the few occasions I actually have to sit at it now.
Unlike some I absolutely do not under any circumstances want MacOS on the iPad, I'd like to see devs continuing to develop to its strengths and continue in its own unique way. If you use iCloud Drive file management is really simple, the advantages people imagine they'd have from MacOS wouldn't be advantages to many users.
The Apple Pencil is the best stylus type thing I've ever used. By far. Once you get it set to your liking, the tilt/pressure is so damn pleasant to work with and much more natural than everything else.
Your pet portraits are lovely! Have you seen this (70 page, haha!) thread?
