Pepper&Carrot Episode 4 - Scene 013. Colored animation. #peppercarrot #creativecommons #animation

Looks like macOS is finally switching to listboxes, but they're really not making things easy for themselves.

For some reason instead of sticking with the much more cohesive layout from the iPad they made everything slightly smaller, lower-contrast, and more convoluted...

Looking at this in comparison really makes me appreciate the work we put into Adwaita last year. Our listboxes are so much clearer and prettier.

Shoutout to @alex_m, @KekunPlazas, and everyone else who helped with that 🙌

Et hier soir @davidrevoy s'est payé le luxe de dessiner (avec #Krita 👌) sur les murs du châteaux.

Et même qu'il a dessiné… du Terry Prachett ! 🐢

#geekfaeries

We decided to do full-featured frame-by-frame animation for shot 013 of #peppercarrot episode 4. Here you can see how it looks on different stages. We used #Krita for making this #creativecommons #animation

🎨 A painting/Fediverse experimentation:

With percentages of Red, Green and Blue, you can obtain a precise RGB color definition.

So, please vote for one or more color channel and with the mix of all the votes, I'll challenge myself to paint a fantasy landscape, using the result as the dominant color.

(PS: I'm doing full time inking/penciling on episode 37 and a bit of colored art cool-down would be great! Also I need a bit of 'Fedifun' this week. Thanks for your votes and boosts! )

These are not the droids you're looking for...May the 4th be with you!

Narcissus & Echo

Here is my modern take on the well known myth from the Metamorphoses of Ovid. An old artwork from 2006.

This morning, I decided to upgrade the quality and share the full resolution. I remixed a bit the artwork and switched the license to Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Int.

That's a long process to free my art from the past, I hope you'll like it even if the style shift is huge compare to what I do now. We all have metamorphosis, right?

#MastoArt

New Pepper&Carrot derivation: a short scene animated coming with a fully detailed #krita and #b3d making-of. A project done by Purism's Creative Director @francois .

You can read the full making-of here: https://puri.sm/posts/animating-pepper-carrot-with-librem-laptop/

I really liked the result and all the production tips on the article (the compositing!). A very good resource if you are interested into animation with Free/Libre and Open Source tools.
