🌱 My Neighbor Mastodon (and Fediverse)

I'm grateful for reaching 30K followers who appreciate my art here. Thank you, thank you, and thank you for your support!

#krita #ArtWithOpensource

Many characters are sitting on a branch over a small pond, in nature. The branch bends under the weight of the giant Mastodon mascot. On his head, Carrot is fishing, but only gets a flower. Near him, the mascot of Misskey Ai-chan (a young Japanese student dressed in a school uniform and with cat hears) is fishing: she has caught the mascot of Peertube, an octopus. Pepper the witch is sitting in the middle of the branch, amused by the scene, and on the left, Pleroma-tan (a fox girl in a dark Japanese dress, with a fox tail) is also amused by the scene. Under the branch hangs the mascot of Gotosocial, a sloth.

Here is my new GNU/Linux distribution guide about Debian KDE 12, the right GNU/Linux distribution for professional digital painting in 2024! Also about three major problems with GNU/Linux distros that will drive away all professional artists, IMO, and how I got kicked out of the Fedora KDE ecosystem with F40, which imposed Plasma6 and Wayland. I hope it helps other artists here!

Too often

#webcomic #krita #MiniFantasyTheater

A webcomic in four panels: Panel 1. A battle is raging between a ferocious dragon and a warrior with a magic sword in flames. The scene takes place in a dense pine forest, in the golden light of a late afternoon, before dusk. Panel 2. Close-up of the sword in battle, blocking an attack from the dragon's claws. But the warrior's face is suddenly distracted: his sword is speaking a message! > Sword: We've got an update for you. **Installing!** > Warrior: Eeeek! Panel 3. The warrior steps away from the battle, looking to his sword in panic. It is surrounded by rays of magic coming from a distance. They illuminate the scene in blue. The dragon doesn't immediately understand the situation, he is fascinated by this event. > Sword: 80% ... 90%... > Warrior: No no no no no! Panel 4. The warrior looks at the result with tears in his eyes: his sword is broken. The blade now lies on the ground, unusable. His fate is sealed. The dragon understands that he has won, he gets a fierce red look in his eyes and prepares a fireball in his smiling mouth. The sword continues to speak, the text is distorted. > Sword: Update Completed. Enjoy! Mini Fantasy Theater, by David Revoy (www.davidrevoy.com) License: CC-By-Sa

Accessories

#webcomic #krita #MiniFantasyTheater

Panel 1. A young dark queen ask to a magic mirror on the wall > Dark queen: Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the prettiest of them all? Panel 2. The mirror shows a picture of a young lady. > Mirror: Her. Panel 3. The queen, a little frustrated, turns her back to the mirror, ready to leave the room. > Dark Queen: Maybe with some accessories I can convince you it's me! > Mirror: Well, I doubt it.... Panel 4. The Queen is back with a big hammer, she smiles. The mirror sweats with discomfort and shake while displaying the portrait of the Dark Queen. > Mirror: Oh! **That** kind of accessory! **Very** convincing!

My treasure

#webcomic #krita #minifantasytheater

A webcomic in four panels (no speech bubble) Panel 1: In a cave containing a treasure with a lot of gold, a young adventurer is chased by a monster: a treasure with big teeth. She drops all the gold items she had on her escape. Panel 2: While climbing a mountain of bones and skulls to reach the exit of the cave, the adventurer throws a bone to the monster. It is startled. Panel 3: Like a brave dog, the monster returns the bone to the adventurer, happy to start over. The adventurer has a think about it. Panel 4: Later, in a city, the adventurer walks proudly and happily with her new "dog" (the monster's treasure) on a leash. This one is a happy one.

Morning routine

#webcomic #krita #minifantasytheater

Panel 1: Pepper sleeps in a cozy bed, her haircut is clumsy, she is slightly irritated. It's early morning. She is surrounded with spell books, an alarm clock, carrot is also on the bed. > SoundFx (alarm): Ring! Ring! Ring! Panel 2: Pepper walks in the stairs like a zombie in her nightdress. A gentle cloud of flavor guide her. Panel 3. Still foggy, she is ready jumps on a DIY wooden hook of a swimming pool, many books are arranged under to make it like a stair. The smell comes clearly underneath her. Panel 4. She barely floats face downward, on a huge cup of coffee. Carrot watches surprised on the top of the plank. > Pepper: BLOOP BLOOP BLOOP BLOOP.

A colored drawing: in a narrow street with trashes, an orange cat show he found a rotten chicken leg and the head and tail of a fish. He is stinky, but full of good intentions.

The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don't roll out the red carpet for them.

#Threads #Mastodon #Krita #MastoArt #Meta

A small Mastodon mascot is happy to roll out a red carpet to welcome the footsteps of Meta; a representation of the death, a skeleton in a black robe with a scythe. This one has a head band with the Meta logo, and a keychain with large logo of What's App, Facebook, Instagram and Threads. The skeletons walks happily while hidding the scythe on their back. This is a representation of how naive the tiny Mastodon can be. License: CC-By David Revoy.

“Taking back” #2

The second piece I drew for the exhibition I’m taking a part of; and it took quite a while, but I’m super proud of it! I have one more illustration to do with that group of friends :)

This series is about reclaiming spaces that were not meant for humans.


#MastoArt #Illustration #Krita

Digital Illustration: In a flooded and destroyed subway station, a group of friends is casually having a pool party. One of them is already in the water, waving at the two youngest one at the top of a escalator; he encourage them to slide on it to get into the water, and they seem pretty excited about it. The fourth character was just sitting on the stairs, but she's now very worried that something bad would happen if the kids starts to slide. Nature has completely overtaken this place. Many plants have grown on the wall and on the old advertisement. You can even see two fishes swimming in the water. A beam of light coming from the damaged ceiling is lighting up the whole room.

Thursday. What a concept.

#meme #parody #krita #MastoArt #sketch

A parody of the meme from the Russian Doll. In this scene, Nadia (played by Natasha Lyonne) fears that she would never see a Thursday again says, "Thursday. What a concept" while smoking a cigarette. The parody with Pepper doesn't have a cigarette.

@cassidy @elad Screen and window capture is useful if you want the entire app view, however some apps provide native canvas or viewport capture for timelapse purposes. For example:

* #Krita: docs.krita.org/en/reference_ma…

There are also a handful of related add-ons for #Blender that can assist since the native screencast feature was removed in 2.8.


Recorder Docker

The recorder docker allows recording time lapses in Krita.

#Mastoart #ArtWithOpensource #krita

A digital painting artwork depicting a giant mastodon playing a sort of ocarina on a branch, under the moon light of the 'teapot' moon (a moon from Pepper&Carrot webcomic). On the branch, also seat Pepper, a young witch and her cat Carrot. They both also play ocarina. The scene is a parody of a still from "My Neighbor Totoro" by Studio Ghibli.

Meta: OH, COME ON. ISN'T THAT BETTER NOW?

#meta #fediverse #threads
#MastoArt #krita

A giant reaper stands in front of a presentation. It's my allegory of Meta: a headband with Meta logo, and a chain around her neck with the WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram golden logo. She hold a brush and a paint bucket with red painting. She looks angry at her audience and not really understanding. In background, her presentation screen: the Fediverse logo in big, with the word "THREATS" on the top and arrows going to the logo. The words "THREATS" was fixed to "THREADS" with red painting on the D. A group of Fediverse mascots in foreground are anxious and group themselves closely, shacking, in front of this new proposal of the reaper.

"Oh wow, you are on fire lately!" 🍿

#krita #MastoArt

[edit: at popular demand in the comments, I added Pleroma-tan and AI, Misskey]

The mascot of Mastodon, a plushy furry pachyderm eats pop-corn. In background, seating each other: Pleroma a fox-girl in a black dress, and AI a girl with cat hears and a uniform of Japanese schoolgirl. They are all amused by a scene: a blue bird (silhouette and colors reminds the Twitter logo) cross the canvas running in fire, he is not enjoying it.

🌱 My Neighbor Mastodon 2

Thank you, thank you, *thank you* for being more than 20K to follow my art here. It's fantastic.

#Mastoart #ArtWithOpensource #krita #HumanArt

A digital painting illustration being a parody of an iconic scene of the movie "My Neighbor Totoro"; but instead of Totoro it's a big Mastodon, and the two girls are replaced by Pepper and Carrot, the OC of my webcomic. The scene is a large view angle under rain at night on a bus stop, the sign has '20K' written on it and a sticker of a red heart symbol on the corner. Pepper has Carrot sleeping on her back, she is under an umbrella, waiting for the bus. She looks on her side, amused, and discover a large cartoony mastodon also waiting for the bus, and covered only with a large leaf on his head. He looks at her as if he was suprised she noticed him and even blushes a bit.

Point of view
#MastoArt #krita
#humanart
A stylised landscape of an ocean cliff sharp shape over a calm sea. It's almost sunset, and pine trees with snow on them are standing on the cliff. The silhouette of Pepper, a young woman, stopped to walk. She looks at her cat, Carrot, enjoying the point of view on the tip of the cliff. The color are soft, a strong contrast with the shape of the scene: very strong silhouette and sharp triangular pointy shapes.

Ignore my terrible sketch.

A digital painting of a landscape: the foreground starts on a fantasy boat with many seagull flying around, then a small village on the coast of a island, to finish in background with a big volcano that is in eruption, but not threatening the village.
