It's a bit the chaos in my schedule, and I focus to draw on paper and upgrade my pencil skill. With all this storms around, it's better to not start-up computer for too long. This morning it' ...

Hi Patrons,
And it's weekly news n°10 .
Ten weeks already I started this mini blog, and I'm a bit proud of it. This week has been calm for Pepper&Carrot on the Internet, but it's a good timing since I'm in an intense production on episode 8. All panels have now definitive dimensions, all drawings are done, all speech-bubbles and prefinal dialogs are also done. I could read it for the first ...

This week not a lot of news except I've been 'slashdotted' yesterday and it was a positive experience.

I estimate there is probably still around 8 days of painting to get an episode 8 ready.
Next week, I should start to get first panels 'prefinal' and send an 'early' ver...
