✨ Happy New Year 2023!
I wish you with this illustration strength and courage against all the "dragons" who might be on your way in 2023. Can you see the numbers in the silhouettes?

@davidrevoy od course they'll be dragons ahead, we will slay them if we must, but I'd rather avoid that. Conquer then with love, and befriend is much better. Would you not want a dragon for a friend?

RealGravitas

@davidrevoy Some dragons are helpful. Lest we forget.
Cool work! 😺

Recent illustrations I painted for Framasoft, all under free/libre culture license.
Sources and Wallpaper are all available here: peppercarrot.com/en/files/fram (and more)

I really love working with them. It's mainly what I do when I'm not working on Pepper&Carrot.

Their yearly funding campaign (at 78% while I'm writing this) ends in less than 10 days, please help them if you can 💜 soutenir.framasoft.org (the page is translated)

@davidrevoy I love them all, but the last one was a wonderful shock. It's so calm, happy, friendly... it's now my wallpaper :)

@davidrevoy Super travail ! Magnifiques illustrations !

I just published a new 7min20 video.
"Overview of my Krita Digital Painting Workflow − end 2022 (commented tutorial)"
It describes the recent steps you saw in my "Process" posts: the one with color flat, and shading.
I hope it will inspire you to paint.

@davidrevoy Awesome tutorial. 👍🏽 Always inspiring to watch you.

About the wacom commandline option. I think you can make a profile in KDE plasma tablet settings and have a shortcut to switch between profiles.

@davidrevoy Thank you very much! I’m passing this on to artists I know 🙂

(also: @Curator is this interesting to you and mastodon.art? rollenspiel.social/@davidrevoy )

[UPDATE]: FIXED by @RinCat 😍 Thanks you all for feedback! 👍

So, I had a kernel panic while I was recording a video tutorial with OBS, and I had to hard reboot the computer because everything froze. Unfortunately, the ongoing record before the crash was corrupted at reboot.
It's an important piece of the video, and I can't retake it. So it ruined my long video tutorial... 😭

@davidrevoy if VLC can play it, you're good. You can the export it with VLC. @RinCat

Michael Kammes

@davidrevoy I tried 6 different apps here with no luck.

Is this a part of a larger or a chunk of a recording? 91MB is really small for a long video.

David Revoy

I still have to recognize the genius of artificial intelligence with this proposal for the cover of Pepper&Carrot book 5 and its half-melted Pepper and its faithful companion Carrot as a yellow rabbit with a dragon-cow in the background (with obviously hemoroid problems). Or this cocaine addict Kiki mascot in the midst of a withdrawal crisis. Striking!

I posted earlier today a poll about AI Art because I wanted the feedback of my followers (the post was limited to them). The 775 results (picture under) and the replies helped me:

I'll not use AI Art on Pepper&Carrot.

At least, not as it is done now: with all copyright issues (I also don't think these issues will be ever addressed correctly, TBH).

Time to move on now and continue to make human art.
Thank you very much for your feedback in my times of doubt :blobcatheart: .

@davidrevoy thank you for being open minded about it! I do hope one day we'll be able to use those tools without stealing from others 🙏

Henri Hebeisen

@davidrevoy Hi David ! About the copyright issue, I guess the copyright issue can be easily adressed if AI uses a dataset with images that only have the right licence, for example CC-0 ? Or maybe we need a new level in the CC licence that allows AI derivation ?
Anyway, from what I've seen, all these images generators are not that useful for highly skilled artists like you, you would spend as much time fixing the AI drawing as drawing it from stratch.For now at least, we'll see how it evolves!

@davidrevoy re copyright issues and pessimism at these ever being addressed: that, i think is really the most tragic part of this all.

an artist friend yesterday said that for her, an artist with aphantasia (she doesn’t get ‘inner pictures’ in her imagination), generative imagery could’ve been such a useful tool. in an ideal world, she said, there would’ve been such a tool trained on everything that’s public domain or freely given to that cause. with restrictions on direct commercial usage of its results, and so on.

and maybe we could’ve gotten there. had this slowly grown from proofs of concept in academia, some ‘try at home’ enthusiasm without those huge pre-trained models, and so on. it would’ve taken so much longer. but there would’ve been time to tackle each of the really big problems it brought with it.

but we couldn’t have that because techbros and their insufferable ‘move fast and break things’ (as naomi wu pointed out: move fast and break things favours the financially stable, which artists tend not to be en masse) and ‘better to ask forgiveness than permission’.

This is just wonderful work. Found you through someone who boosted your work. ☺️

@davidrevoy This is phenomenal work. Seriously, can we work together one day?❤️❤️

Imaginetten

@davidrevoy it’s sad that we must point the non-use of AI out. I’m doing a lot more digital process paintings to show what drawing from scratch means. Head, heart, and hand. Creativity is not an algorithm.

@davidrevoy Nice. I love the expressions. Pepper is over the moon about that star, while the dragon is still trying to figure out what he thinks about all this. It's brilliant.

Geoff

@davidrevoy c’est fantastique! Simplement superbe. Bravo et merci de partager!

Jitsch

@davidrevoy It’s super interesting to see how much the 4th step adds to the atmosphere of this piece although it already looks quite finished after shading.

@davidrevoy nice. So many artists hold on to Adobe 's crap and let them enslave them for no reason really. According to your work it's obvious, that open source software is very capable, if one has the talent. 🌟

@davidrevoy This is so beautiful and the narrative is wonderful

@davidrevoy Looks like Pepper didn't account for what happens to the coffee after the spell is over. Hope that book has a spell of stain removal!

Petra Brandström

@davidrevoy Oh lovely work! This image tells a whole story <3

Jesse Rowell

@davidrevoy I love the play of light against the coffee floating out of the mug, nice touch and attention to detail.

@davidrevoy

Krita has a recorder ?

Huh, I thought only ibis does

Noe 🐝✨

@davidrevoy

Pourquoi l‘effet surexposé ?

Pour moi la surexposition n’existe que à cause de la plage dynamique limitée des capteurs d’appareil photo, et pas à l’œil nu.

J’aime beaucoup le dessin mais je ressent la même frustration que quand je fait une photo avec des pixels cramés.

Est-ce le seul moyen de rendre compte d’une lumière éblouissantes ?

@davidrevoy HOLD UP since when is there a built in recorder in krita HOLY SHIT i wish i knew that earlier

💎 The Blue Crystal

I continue my drawing training and sometimes I push the rendering of a test and finalize it, like in this one.
I'm using almost no ref' to train my ability to predict color and light by imagination. Among my new skill, I'm now more confident at drawing and designing men. I can also better predict overexposed light areas and strong sunlight. It feels great to do progress.

@davidrevoy Excellent work in progress. Processus créatif que je vais montrer à mes élèves pour leur prouver que l'esquisse est utile avant tout 😅

@davidrevoy

Oh, very (very) nice!

1. We can see all pentimenti (which is über cool to appreciate your work: helmet, hammer, shadow, hazelnut, etc.)
2. how long dit it take in real life?

@davidrevoy TIL that Krita has a record timelapse feature... Not that I need it, but I wonder how many else have no clue... @karpour and @yamavu ?

Green With Enby

@davidrevoy I've been interested in exploring different ways of sketching or planning artworks lately. Did you do a contour/line sketch before this, or did you just go right into blocking in areas of colour? I'd be very interested in the process you went through for this sketch, and any tips for people looking to sketch this way!

Disciple, sers la science

Why did I asked for a selfying duck ? I should have asked you a red head sword woman ! 😍

David Revoy

That feeling when you get a new skill.

I'm still training my brushwork and my speed to complete artwork. After many failed tests, this one is starting to bring together a lot of aspects that I like. A good reason to share it with you. I hope you'll like it.

Sco :progress: :flag_mm:

@davidrevoy She looks great. Great pose, and i love the facial expression.

Only complaint is in the background. I love the basic structure of the scenery. But the colors are a bit cloudy, and mix into one'another. And backgrounds can be an afterthought to the subject. But this scenery is almost perfect. Just a bit blury on the colors.
