This is something I wanted to share.
This is a simple, normal, quick edited screenshot.
However, this means something to me in a big way.

This was all done in Linux.
I was able to get my entire setup to work in Bazzite.
All of it.

I am finally free from Windows.

Today is a good day.

Just updated my production report for the upcoming Pepper & Carrot episode (the longer comic series I’m brewing in the background). A blog post with behind-the-scenes screenshots and process notes.

Check it out: www.davidrevoy.com/article1078/...

#krita #peppercarrot #webcomic
A Krita screenshot, a digital painting Free/Libre and Open Source application, with on the canvas a blue sketch on the left, and a inked in deep red on the right. The scene represents a minotaur talking to a hyena colleague. A Krita screenshot with on the canvas a scene pre colored (sketchy) of a montage where Pepper sing like a bard with a luth and a hat. A Krita screenshot with on the canvas two comics pages: on the left, a group of anthropomorphic animals enter a tavern, and Pepper (a young witch) is upset at their behavior. On right Pepper argue with Cayenne, her master. A Krita screenshot with on the canvas the detailing of a panel showing a cute fantasy village. It's market day, children are running around Pepper and Cayenne, a fountain, birds, sun light.
