Trying to figure this out myself... always seems like it devolves into a lot of annoying manual work. Need to figure out something more declarative and dynamic than just doing it raw it in affinity.

it's manual work yea but honestly for me it's kinda therapeutic and relaxing lol just an element there, some stripes there, ect. but might that I'm doing it in blender and the elements are actual models way behind the model aligned to the camera so i can use mirror modifiers, arrays and nodes to kinda duplicate and make a lil toolbox of elements i can drag around.
