Hey! Here is a new episode in the continuation of the episode 31 where Pepper tries to use her new diploma. You might feel a RPG/high-fantasy influence in this one; this is a universe I love to parody.  This episode is a "part 1" of a series of episodes I wrote in January, at a ti...

Timelapse video: "Flight of Spring"

Hi patrons! While episode 29 is still in production (storyboard is done and dialogs almost stable, drawings/inking starts this week), I took the time to derush the eight hours of videos recorded during the creation of the recent illustration "Flight of Spring": an illustration I made for the new homepage of the Pepper&Carrot website.

Weekly news 2019-01-04: The firework animated panel

Hi! 

Happy new year 2019!

During the holidays, the project went a bit to sleep on my side; I had a lot of visit at home and it was a good opportunity to take a break and enjoy being with family and friends. I hope all of you could have a moment like that during the past weeks.

The contributors of Pepper&Carrot CalimeroTeknik, Craig Maloney, Marti...

Weekly 2018-12-24: Holidays and ep28 is in 'alpha' version

Hi Patrons!

My new method for episode 28 (for reminder: a single long vertical Krita document to ease re-reading the episode while I draw it) was really a good experience. I'll keep it! I took the last weeks working a lot daily to complete all the pages to the "alpha" version; a version I can share with the contributor who help me at proofreading.  

If you are not afraid of spoilers, you...

Weekly news 2018-11-17: episode 28 storyboard and new coloring tests

Hi patrons, I'm writing you from Toulouse, sitting in a Coffee, a couple of hours before my talk at Capitole du Libre 2018. Thank you very much again for the warm welcome of the episode 27 "Coriander's Invention", it really had a positive effect on the confidence I had to produce a trilogy of episode with a bit more storytelling and events happening in the world of Pepper&Carrot.

So, during the first week of November I storyboarded episode 28 but once it was in picture and I could read it ...

Weekly news: episode 27 in alpha version, Cover of book 3

Hi, sorry for no post last week: I focused my attention deeply around two things: completing the storyboard of episode 27 and beta-testing Krita git~master during the recent Krita Sprint. 

Here is what happened:

- Websites maintainance of Pepper&Carrot and davidrevoy.com is hard (hundreds of articles, thousands of comments) ; I have many crackers continuously attacking the websites capcha to enter their spams on the comment boxes. One plan for 2019 is to improve...

Weekly news 2018-09-21: Scenarios of a trilogy

Hi Patrons!

This week I finally have the scenario for the trilogy of episode 27, 28 and 29. The hardest part was to find funny end-twist for each episodes and 'cut' the episodes into panels to fit the short format Pepper&Carrot. 

For writing, I used the Ghostwriter. I really like this software for writing....

Weekly news 2018-09-10: ep27 storyboard, website's cache, reinstall of OS, website CPU and new home!

Hi Patrons!

I spent the last week on the story development of episode 27. It was a bit long to warm-up my drawing skill after a full month of DIY in the house so I took time to sketch and get back to my comfort zone. After a couple of day, I could start storyboarding and sketching the new episode.

I'm working now around the idea of a big event in the little world of Hereva named the "Coronation of Coriander". It could be a new story arc spread over three distinct episodes. It's an ambiti...

Weekly news 2018-09-29: News from the move

Hi Patrons! I moved on Monday and now I have Internet at the new home and I quickly unpacked and connected my computer (photo on top) this morning to write you this little update. Good news: everything is working!

Noutti and Tigrette (my cats) moved also; now I keep them with all door closed at home for 1 week or a bit more, to prevent them running to the old place. I hope this way they'll create new ...

Weekly news 2018-08-19

Hey Patrons!

As I told in the previous weekly, at the end of August 2018,  I'll move to a new place (15 minute away,  not far). I just posted a quick blog post about it with a quick sketch I did yesterday and shot it with my smartphone (on the top here). Another long day of work is waiting for me today. But now all walls are done and painted, electricity layout is working, kitche...

Hi Patrons! Thank you for all the good comments and feedback after the latest episode of Pepper&Carrot; episode 26 posted one week ago!

A big move in preparation:

Weekly news: 2018-07-24

Hey Patrons! I'm right now in the last days of production to finish episode 26! As I start to get more and more colored panels, here is a commented work in progress of an ep26 panel from A to Z to show you the path I took this time:

1. Storyboard

The storyboard was done at a thumbnail scale on paper with pencils. The perspective in my storyboards is often very flat and I manage only in it "what elements the panel has to show" because I try to solve storytelling problems....
