Pepper & Carrot, Episode 39: "The Tavern" is finally out!

This 11-page webcomic is a standalone episode that you can read in five minutes. It's about courage and an experiment with sound in the comic medium. Translations are already available. We've got English, Français, Deutsch, Español, 中文, Nynorsk, and Toki Pona, thanks to some great contributors. And a big thank you to my 1106 supporters for giving me the time to create this one.

#webcomic #krita #peppercarrot

A digital painting in the fantasy comic book style of a village courtyard, the large village gate, a square with a fountain, children playing, a large inn with a tavern keeper cleaning tables in the sunshine, merchants and their customers all around. The atmosphere is sunny and positive. The characters Pepper, Carrot, and Cayenne enter through the gate. This is a panel of the episode.


Keeper of Forbidden Knowledge

This week I’m posting a special comic! It's an adaptation of a fantasy #microfiction by @vanellopemint . Source: https://mastodon.art/@vanellopemint/115412361427671211 (edit: fixed a typo on a speech-bubble)

"Fear not," said the high wizard Albrus to King Konstad. "All of the books which you have asked to be destroyed, I have taken care of them personally."

The king beamed. "Well done, Albrus!"

As they left the throne room, the wizard's assistant said, "But you did not destroy those books. You merely gave them to the Witch of the North."

"Konstad is my King," said the wizard. "But kings come and go, and knowlege is my god...."

#microfiction #flashfiction


A short comic strip in four panels:  

Panel 1. In a dark throne room, King Konstad sits surrounded by his guards and large statues. Kneeling before him is the High Wizard Albrus.  
> High wizard Albrus: Fear not. All of the books which you have asked to be destroyed, I have taken care of them personally.
> King Konstad: Well done, Albrus!

Panel 2. Albrus rises and leaves the throne room, followed by his wizard assistant who was waiting outside.  

Panel 3. As they walk away from the castle, getting outside, the assistant speaks with surprise and curiosity.  
> Albrus’s Assistant: But you did not destroy those books. You merely gave them to the Witch of the North.

Panel 4. Further from the castle, on the bridge, under the day light, Albrus reveals his philosophy.  
> High wizard Albrus: Konstad is my King, but kings come and go, and knowledge is my god...


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.

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 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 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 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.


Don't get too excited, because this is a prototype (by Timothée Giet) and isn't connected to #krita itself. But... You can get a feel of the way the workflow goes. I was really satisfied playing with it on my phone.

Krita common issues and how to solve them


There are many traps in Krita, especially for beginners. Often it's about features that are activated with a keyboard shortcut or a hidden button and change the mode of everything, but without having any feedback about this change in the interface. This video covers 5 of the most common ones in my opinion.

#Krita Tip! ✨ Did you know that Krita can automatically record satisfying timelapses?
❗ Important: this is even easier now than when I made this video! 🤩 FFmpeg is now included right inside Krita, so you do not have to download it separately and can skip that step


Also as a tribute to Toriyama, I would like to share the cameos and influences in my webcomic here (which are hidden or vague due to copyright reasons):

1. You can find a Super Saiyan character doing the line in front of Saffron's house.

2. The magic competition arena decoration.

3. The fight with Shichimi

4. Goku was born "Kakarot" (carrot), so now you know why my cat with long tail and eyes like young Goku is called "Carrot".

#akiratoriyama #鳥山明 #fanart #krita

1. a comic page of Pepper&Carrot. Episode 16. A line in front of Saffron witchcraft in the street of Komona. Cameos are in the line. 3. a comic page of Pepper&Carrot. Episode 34. A fight between Pepper and Shichimi, Dragon Ball Z style.
2. a comic page of Pepper&Carrot. Episode 21. The arena of the magic contest. 4. a comic page of Pepper&Carrot. Episode 18. How Pepper names Carrot (because he was hidding in a crate of Carrot) but there is another reason for this name.


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...

#krita is one of those amazing apps which I haven't given enough attention. I should look at it again.


The big wave of spams is over? Thank you FediAdmins for doing what you do!

Wow, that’s awesome! I didn’t know #Krita could do this!

Does this also work with scanned pencil drawings?

A digital painting of a character design: a female character stylised as in JRPG of the end 90s. She has a golden shield carved, a golden metallic staff with a rubis that also has a blade like an axe. She wears many gears and her clothes are large and themed around a tangerine color, leather, white linen and red.

I love painting in the free painting software #Krita so here is a timelapse of a piece I did! ❤️ There is nothing more satisfying than the joy of slowly but surely creating artwork from your hands, mind and heart - a fulfilling joy those tragic ai-bros will never know #NoAI


✨ Happy New Year 2024.
With this illustration, I would like to wish you a calm and peaceful New Year.

A fantasy landscape digital painting illustration built around the letter of 2024. The setting is in a deep forest. Two trees are shapes like the 2, the 0 is a hollow trunk with a mini book library in it, the 4 is a structure to do fishing on the pond in foreground. The ambiant is calm and relaxing.
