I just published my 1h22min video
"Tutorial: an Illustration from A to Z with Krita"
It's a real full lenght course suited to beginners, but also advanced digital painters. It starts from scratch with default brushes, pref' and breakdown all the process:

▶ Peertube: check @shichimi (soon, still transcoding)

Goodbye Craig Maloney @craigmaloney

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.

I'm speechless 🤯 The print at the exhibition feels so big in real. I'm super happy sitting in the corner of my illustration.
Tomorrow, signing session!

@victorhck hey, Krita has built in recorder docker: it dumps jpg periodically to a folder, and then a gui proposes to compile the jpgs to a video ( ffmpeg in backend) . That's how the timelapses are done.
If you see the Krita interface, it is captured with OBS, and later accelerated in Kdenlive.

cat=$((cat+1)) 😺

I'm back from the vet this morning with an official adoption for Geuloush. He is a fully-grown male cat who has probably been abandoned by his former owners in the summer. 😡
We put notices around our house in search of them, but failed to get any feedback. The poor thing was starving and in bad shape. After a month of care, he is now loving and healthy. 💜 He'll be neutered soon. He is an exact copy of Miolek our number 3 and here is a photo of them:

I may have found an alternative solution to my blog's commenting system! 😺

The synchronization of comments from my Mastodon account. It's something I tried and abandoned, but I'm giving it another try after reading your comments. Well, I explain more on the blog and also share the source code:

Bonus: Because I'm happy, here's a happy Mastodon mascot as a postman that I painted this morning.

Today, I've decided to give up on my blog's commenting system.

I've been blogging for almost 20 years. I have received 13,007 comments on 978 of my posts. So why am I stopping now?
