@davidrevoy did some wonderful artist watch the Dungeon Meshi anime? ☺

(that’s the association I got from the imagery ☺)

(aside: license cc by-sa: nice!)

@davidrevoy What we call in Spanish "peinado de honguito" ("small mushroom hairstyle"), it was THIS close to being performed with an actual mushroom!

Here is my new GNU/Linux distribution guide about Debian KDE 12, the right GNU/Linux distribution for professional digital painting in 2024! Also about three major problems with GNU/Linux distros that will drive away all professional artists, IMO, and how I got kicked out of the Fedora KDE ecosystem with F40, which imposed Plasma6 and Wayland. I hope it helps other artists here!

@davidrevoy : Merci David, ce genre de post est essentiel. Et tu pointes bien les problèmes de Wayland que les geeks en console comme moi ne voient pas (je ne sais même pas ce que c’est la calibration d’un écran).

Au fait, bienvenue sous Debian !

@davidrevoy loved this article. I also installed #debian12 with #gnome but I may switch after reading!

@davidrevoy Ça me rappelle que je ne peux toujours pas installer la toute dernière version de LibreOffice Writer parce qu'elle "oublie" de conserver les raccourcis clavier basiques qui permettent de taper facilement des À ou des Ç ou des œ sous Windows -_-

@davidrevoy what? I remember translating one comic in German back when I added my deadname to the credits. Oof.

Nice. Your Z is way better than the original!
Love the touch of the dot on the I, even if it's uppercase: I can control my grammar nazi OCD. 😁😅

@davidrevoy Happy to report that it also works pretty well in akkoma/pleroma with it’s downscaling to fit inside a 16:9 box. 14px is where readability stops for me.

And thanks for making the font file available :drgn_heart:

@davidrevoy Both are pretty readable, but I'd like to note that the curving on the middle of the M for "Deevadhand" in the 14px example was almost completely lost for me on a 1440p monitor so I read that curve as a straight line so I read "Humble" for a moment before correcting from context. Very small thing, but worth noting that you could emphasize that just slightly more so there is more "curve" section to the hump.

I also find the "Deevadhand" italics seem to render a little funny, like a "faux italic" for a font that lacks it. I'm not if that's actually the case here.

Just some thoughts, cool that you're doing all this work!

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org oh my, I didn't notice the cats in the back until looking closer. Now that is a CatStation.

I learned this morning of the passing of Akira Toriyama, the father of Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump, designer of Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger. Also, probably the artist who influenced me the most when I started drawing. Here is an old fan art I drew of Arale. My heart is really heavy this morning...

@davidrevoy Oh no, I didn't know that. How sad. 😢 Many beautiful childhood memories.

@davidrevoy thank you for posting about this. He is one of the biggest names in anime, and will be missed dearly.

I have a soft spot for Dragon Ball and Arale, and love your artwork.

Epic yearly vaccination trip to the vet this morning with my four cats.

Stop sending me your novels or texts written by an AI.

I definitely don't want to read or be exposed to AI output. I don't want to AI-poison my imagination with the most statistical tropes, and a big mix of story data that might be plagiarism from I don't know what source. Furthermore, I think that feeding my imagination with human-made imaginary is a better diet to train my own ideas.

(I thought it was obvious, but apparently it's not. I'm writing this to pin to my profile.)

Qu'est-ce qui nous prouve que c'est pas une IA qui a écrit ce message ? :bloblewd:

@davidrevoy si tu es prisonnier fais un signe ! 😅

@davidrevoy On another side, who's stupid enough to send you AI stuff? :ablobcatknitsweats:
I mean, anyone following you must know your position about AI.. :ablobcateyesflip:

@davidrevoy this win is HUGE! It means we're still breezing past the Bird Site and the Farmville homepage🐦🚜

My bet? Mastodon is going to keep rocking, while the rest of the social media world slowly turns into a collection of spam posts. 🥔✨ Here's to staying awesome indefinitely! 🚀 #Mastodon

@davidrevoy Unfortunately, I've seen some more spam just a few hours ago.

I started the year with a big month of problem solving. Nothing really exciting, I mostly did home maintenance: cleaning, DIY, hard drive replacement, archiving, power supply replacement, setting up a home server, making better backups for all devices at home, centralizing family photo albums, converting media, etc... etc... It was a bit of a never-ending rabbit hole once you started down it. But a pleasant one, because all the various little improvements were immediately rewarding.

@davidrevoy The nickname for our house is "rabbit hole" so I love especially love this work of yours. 🐰 😄 ❤️

@davidrevoy I think the smoking girl is my favorite. She has this absolutely brilliant facial expression of annoyance. The way she looks at the viewer is perfect. 🙇

@davidrevoy whoa beautiful works. I love ink draw. I even bought a fountain pen for drawing. But I realized i can't draw properly haha. Still learning how to draw

Do you ever use fountain pen for drawing David?

I found yesterday that hundreds of 2D Artist Magazine where uploaded to the Internet Archive, and I really enjoy browsing them for the quality tutorials, interviews and amazing artist portfolios. I thought some of you here might like it as well:
