 🌱 My Neighbor Mastodon Just want to say thanks for the 15K followers. It's amazing how calming it can be for me as an artist to know that my biggest audience is on the Fediverse right now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who contributed to this. 107 comments
@davidrevoy Impresionante y muy creativa ilustración, mezclando dos de los mundos libres que nos apasionan. Pepper & Carrot y Mastodon. 🦣🐈 Gran trabajo, como bien nos tienes acostumbrados con tu arte. 😮 🖼️ @davidrevoy Aaa that must feel great! Mine is still Twitter by a long shot (ofc the site that is currently in flames... just my luck haha). But I am happy to see many of them jump to Mastodon. Congratulations! 😍  @Tealk Sure, it's an assumed reference/parody of a shot of the movie. I tell it on the image alt/description, and the title does also the reference. Thanks for noticing! @Tealk No problem about it, I also rarely read about them, thanks again for mentioning it, it will be now easier to find the information. 😊 @davidrevoy Thank you for your art, it's a lot of fun! At the moment, I let my 10yo read two or three episodes of Pepper&Carrot with me before bed, and he's laughing out loud every time.  @davidrevoy When I discovered your comic, I read the entire run in one sitting and I can't wait for more, if there will be more! Your work is appreciated. Thank you for sharing it with the world! @wishx Thanks a lot. And yes, even if I had a big break after this summer, I can confirm, there will be more; I'm working on episode 38 😊 @davidrevoy oh how lovely this is.... the sentiment of the message, and the image to go with it :) wonderful ;) (coudn't agree more with the blissful mood here in the fediverse!) <3 @davidrevoy If you're looking for higher image quality, consider chiming in here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20255 :) @nafnlaus Thanks, I think the quality is OK even if I can sympathize with the example on the bug report. Anyway, I post all the source, layered and hi-resolution of my art on my blog under a creative commons license ( for reusage , eg. wallpapers, and full resolution ). I consider here only "previews. That's why I'm OK. (and because, ecology 🌱) @davidrevoy It's actually throwing away quality for no good reason, unfortunately. With proper handling we can compress JPEGs to half the size for a given amount of quality (or double the quality for a given size). And WebP improves that ratio by ~25-30%, and AVIF by ~50%. And then better dedup'ing (image fingerprintting) could cut server resources dramatically further. There's also proposals for a HQ (but less convenient) image option, with lower default size. @davidrevoy What it's doing today is basically cutting the resolution way down, but then saving with a high JPEG quality factor. Except lowering the JPEG quality factor saves a lot more space (for a given quality level) than shrinking images. And it doesn't even force conversion of PNGs, so you can post monstrously large PNG files - but it still ruins their quality. For starters. It's honestly a mess. (BTW, your work is lovely :) ) @nafnlaus Ha, that's good to see other format and the ratio quality/storage/bandwith being studied. If there is a waste in quality that could be solved without putting weight (or even better, with lighter footprint), I'm all OK!  @nafnlaus I've been thinking about the issue. Hot take: sacrifice availability and hotlink big images by default. Keep LQ side by side and federate *it*. @davidrevoy Love the alt text for this - if that's 'done quick', I'd love to see what happens when you take time over something! Your style is gorgeous 😍 @JulieRoff Thank you very much! :blobcatheart: For my art with a larger time budget on the rendering, you can check my portfolio on my website: https://www.davidrevoy.com/static1/portfolio @davidrevoy  @davidrevoy as always knocking it out of the park :) congratulations, on to many more that can see your art!
quel bel hommage. Je ne résiste pas à partager le si joli thème de Joe Hisaishi qui va avec : @davidrevoy Yeap, j'adore non seulement la musique mais aussi les expressions réjouies du maestro. @davidrevoy Beautiful and calming as always :blobaww: @davidrevoy Man, you are such a legend! Every open source project that I like (including Pepper&Carrot), it have your artwork, and this is awesome! You deserve more and more followers (and I hope they all follow you through the Fediverse). Thank you for your art!  @davidrevoy aww this is so adorable :ablobcatheartsqueeze: P.S.: my girlfriend wanted me to comment that she also finds this piece really adorable :)  @davidrevoy clicking through to see illustrations like this is like unwrapping a present :) @davidrevoy je suis toujours impressionné par la composition de vos peintures numériques. Surtout sur les jeux d'ombres et lumières ! @gportier Merci! Pour celle là, je n'ai pas beaucoup de mérite: j'ai parodié une scène iconique des studio Ghibli et il y avait franchement déjà des éléments de génie à la composition. La ref: https://www.hdwallpaper.nu/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/my_neighbor_totoro-3.jpg  @davidrevoy Wow this looks amazing! May I use this as my wallpaper? If so, how can I find the full resolution form? Thanks in advance :) @alvanrahimli Thanks! Sure, I posted the 4K picture (3840x2160px) on my blog (click the picture to open the large version), link: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article941/my-neighbor-mastodon @davidrevoy I was just browsing your portfolio. All are really nice pieces of art, very well done! Also, knowing you did all of them with FOSS, makes me happier :) Keep up the good work <3 (thanks again for link) @davidrevoy I love your work and you inspire me to improve as an artist and creator. You are a huge inspiration and that shows. From day one that I found your channel, I was amazed. Thanks for all the work you do :) and congrats and good luck in reaching further milestones, which you very much deserve. :blobcatderpy: @linuxgamer Hey thanks LinuxGamer and for your supportive comments all this time! (even on Twitter, you are the same LinuxGamer with the red slime https://twitter.com/The_LinuxGamer , right? ) @davidrevoy hey I've just discovered by chance your profile now on Mastodon and your illustrations are amazing! Awesome work! 👌🏻 @davidrevoy I didn't know you were on Mastodon! It's a nice surprise, I love your comic.  @davidrevoy Congratulations on reaching 15,000 followers. I'm happy to be one of the fortunate ones. @davidrevoy This piece makes me feel so peaceful. I believe I will have beautiful dreams because of it. Thank you!  @davidrevoy i love mastodon elephant mascot and you draw it so nicely. Love your works :blobaww: @davidrevoy wow, this painting reminds me of my childhood fantasies. Thank you for this. @davidrevoy I can't get over how awesome this turned out, how long did it take you to complete? @davidrevoy that's amazing, artwork of this level tends to take me weeks or months to do, how are you so fast? @Starflight48r2_ Hey, it used to take me weeks also 20 years ago, it's totally normal and it's a good practice to take care of all the steps. You don't need to paint with a clock or anything to increase it, it just build up with practice and time, IMO. Having a webcomic with life around and deadline for sure really made me reconsider my time budget on each panel 😅 @Starflight48r2_ Hey, please define "normal adult life". Because here, I'm probably far from that 😉 .

Maybe you hit the 'reply' button and then left the text box empty and pressed the publish button. On my side, I had a notification with a empty reply, just my name.  |
