@davidrevoy For the curious folks who wonder how it worked in practice ... notice the arrow and the shell.
@davidrevoy Not pictured: The third kid, Blort, who was lucky enough to end up with fish top and horse bottom.
@davidrevoy
Your drawings are beautiful and the storys, the thought process behind all of them, are similarly beautiful. And that applies to all the works I have seen from you so far! So from the bottom of my heart: Thank you so much for being the person you are and for the art you do! It brights up my timeline and always puts a smile in my face. Thank you!
@davidrevoy Nice One! 😆
... and now I wonder how many European languages this is obvious in without further explanation.
E.g. in German it's "Seepferdchen", that's literally "little sea horse", thus the comic works directly. 🤔
@ToonLink Thanks! I wanted to insert a seahorse emoticon and then I remembered it doesn't exist and this https://vgel.me/posts/seahorse/ I read earlier this week.
@davidrevoy
👌 🤩 😍 pour l'idée et la réalisation

(par contre, 😬 pour la nuit à venir : mon cerveau commence à mouliner, pour essayer d'adapter ça à l'ornithorynque...
La nuit va être longue 🙃 😁 )
@davidrevoy This is clever in the dumbest way, and I call that entertainment. Well done!
@davidrevoy
I had to think about it for a minute but the children becoming sea horses is actually incredible. Awesome work!
@davidrevoy Imagine your father is a minitour and your mother is a mermaid, but you get the human half from both.
That mean's you're just...
Some guy.
@davidrevoy Hi, thanks for all.
your work. Just beside your fantastic current work, I am just curious if there is any finalizing work planned for Pepper & Carrot? Would love to see a great end! :) #fanboy https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1020/the-end-of-peppercarrot-and-my-next-project
@sman42 Thank you 💜 Yes, I'll make a new production report soon about it, but to be short: I have a long episode I keep doing in background (aside the weekly comic strip) since June. I like doing both this way. I'll continue Pepper&Carrot, I have a story to tell for the book five. Thank you for asking.
@Aoi_X_Kaizaki Haha, that's a good idea. I'll try to keep it in mind, maybe there is a way to make a comic strip around this drama.
J'ai testé pour cet épisode une nouvelle configuration pour mon crayon numérique sous Krita: avec d'avantage de grains. Je partagerai ça bientôt sur le blog.
@greenCoder Thank you for noticing this two symbols; the shell with its shape and the arrow (and role of hunter). It was unconscious at the storyboard phase, then became intentional. #symbolism
@davidrevoy Something happened between the third and fourth panels that would probably deeply confuse me if I pondered it too much.
Now… don't at seahorses the males carry the young?

@davidrevoy oh cuz they're seahorses! I got it, i got it, very cool 😎👌
@davidrevoy @jujudraw je vois qu'effectivement ce crayon a plus de grain. Mais au delà soyons clairs tu as surtout bcp amélioré ta technique dans les qq dernières années que nous te suivons. Ce dessin est extrêmement précis, expressif, et délicat, déjà dans le crayonné, sans parler de la mise en couleurs super travaillée.
@davidrevoy @farah Oh god this is the best thing I've seen all year!
What would John Pinette say about all of this?
likely something along the lines of
I say, neigh neigh!
@dgouttegattat 🤣 haha. If I receive that, I'll make sure to make a series of strip about various breeds of mythological creatures. Like, what type of eggs result of a Draconian and a Harpie? Do you obtain a sort of Pterosaur?
@davidrevoy @dgouttegattat I was also thinking about Medusa or something fire breathing 🤔
@davidrevoy I feel kinda bad for the dad, though. He only gets to hang out with his kids near the shore while the mom and kids get the entire ocean.
:EA DATA. SF:
@davidrevoy omnia vincit amor 💕

It's Latin, the ancient Roman language. It means that love can win every difficulties)

Wait, hold up, you made this using only free, open-source tools?!? That's even more impressive. If you don't mind me asking, what's your preferred drawing software? I've been using Photoshop since forever, but I've been itching to move to something else.
@Legit_Spaghetti
@davidrevoy wrote some blog posts about it: https://www.davidrevoy.com/index.php?tag/linux
@pink @Legit_Spaghetti Yes, only with Free/Libre and Open Source software, my main tool is Krita, and right now on a Debian Plasma KDE X11 operating system (fully described on the link Pink sent, thank you Pink!).
I also have a humble Ytb channel if you are not allergic to French accent: https://www.youtube.com/@DavidRevoy/videos (mirrored on Peertube too, https://peertube.touhoppai.moe/c/4742f338-1ded-4798-bd85-93e8de367476/videos?sort=-originallyPublishedAt )
@Jmvars True, they do have clearly more in common with the mermaid mother on this aspect.
@davidrevoy
Oh oui.
C'était facile : castor + canard noir (et quelques gènes de capybara).
Et paf ! Ça fait un Nornithorynque ☝
🙃 😁
@davidrevoy @dgouttegattat Hydra and Chimera, but every time a new head grows it's of a different species 😂
@davidrevoy @farah @Legit_Spaghetti
Not to be dramatic but I would die for Blort
@davidrevoy I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!🤩🎉✨💯
It all makes so much sense, now! 🥰🐟💕🐴
Thank you!
@davidrevoy this strip gave me a smile and hope. In this period, your art is a breeze of fresh air. Thank you :-)
@cnx
Lol. Not sure how I got dragged into this, but I'm here for it and now considering changing my avatar to dead-fish/horse kid...
Bonus unrelated fun fact: Not sure if Deevad realizes, but we actually met in person many years ago at an early Krita sprint.
@Blort 
I had no idea! Like, around this era? https://www.davidrevoy.com/article114/krita-project-an-old-challenge-won-2-4-very-soon
@davidrevoy @farah @Legit_Spaghetti Blort should be right side up, with the lower body of a hippopotamus (litteraly river horse) :)
(Still terrifing, probably)
