same boat too. The ethic bankruptcy of Proton is here, and I picked this service when I escaped from gmail because they had a better ethic. I'm really concerned by potential security breaches and letting my email in such an infrastructure. With an internal policy of bullying and forcing to code fast, ship fast, and with AI I see that coming really soon. And it happens the weeks I have to renew my subscription, meh 🥲

The plan is to make it permanent. But I totally have no idea what type of feedback it will get, in five episode ahead, when the new audience forgot this episode and wonder why. Will they blame the artist for using AI? For being bad at anatomy when they notice it on one panel? This can backfire seriously, and I have no idea how much right now.
If I revert it at one point (possible, thanks to a world with magic) I'll address it at least with a dialog.

Thank you, and no, you are not! I thought the visual in my first draft would work by themselves, and then I had to add the line of Amall on panel 3 to underline it, because visually, it works pretty well as it is. I added an additional ring finger, slightly smaller than the regular ring finger, but taller than the pinky. More harmonious than what I imagined when I typed this scenario.

Stray Kitten Report 7: slow progress with the little female, Charlotte, and that's a big contrast with Charlie, who now uses the cat door and visits home by himself. But she starts to play a lot.

She's got that tiny face, mini paws, major eye makeup, and dramatic meows. She can't resist stealing the cat toys she plays with and hoarding them under our garden wood cabin. A little diva, but she also loves wrestling matches with Charlie. I'll show you that under ↓🧵

Hey, this episode is a bit special so I wanted to write a little note under: it mirrors the second episode of the Avian Intelligence series https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFantasyTheater/028.html and it punishes this scholar with a snake tatoo who scanned the research of Cepper in the previous episode against her consent.

I'm preparing a book with the Avian Intelligence series, and this mirroring effect is for the logic of ending the book (but this episode is not the end, next one will be my conclusion... for the book 1).

They did learn it, and now everything else require a too expensive cognitive effort, something that make them tired only thinking about it (fear to fail, fear to not adapt). It's complicated.

Stray kitten report 6: big steps this week; Charlie, the male kitten, is now spending a lot of time at home and also eats his meals with our cats. He is playful, adorable and cuddly. He is growing really fast!
Also, yesterday was the first time I could play with his sister ('Charlotte'). She still lives outside, but she now feels more relaxed around our home and comes to play with Charlie every day.
I still can't get close to the mother. I'm working on it!

"and your forgot it was tech not pen and paper"

This is a misconception: you never forget. A digital device can't be like pen and paper. Backlight in your eyes, friction very different, not flow of ink or scratch on paper. It's something very different.

Don't believe any marketing argument of the "it's like on paper", it will never be. It's something else and require a training. But once you have it, you forget about it, for real.

For me it's the one I'm using right now since 2 years almost: the XpPen Artist Pro 19 (gen2), I can't believe how resistant it is to my daily rythme and productivity, still looks like new. But this one require to buy an extra 'regular stylus 'gen2'' separately (it comes with a thin and a stylus with a scroll wheel that I didn't like by default).
Next would be the XpPen Artist Pro 16 (gen2), very similar with a sane stylus, that was my previous one in production.

Don't worry, everything is all set since a long time (I'm into activism against GAFAM since a long time, almost as soon as they appeared in my region of the world ~2010).

I have probably 30x the audience via RSS (according the server log) than Facebook followers. But I know ~30 poeples personally IRL that follows the FB page and are captive of it for many reasons (family/school/work).

I already did multiple time in the past, but the post were immediately shadowban. I had also feedback that this type of promotion to move away is now is a motive of ban on Meta platforms.

I'm thinking about a special MiniFantasyTheater footer on the last panel for Facebook. Something I'll have to code/automate.

Because of an historical presence since 2010, 16K (nice persons) followers that I often meet IRL and are publishing nice comments. There is a little vibrant P&C community over there, that have their dissonance about using Facebook/Messenger, because they have to: for staying in contact with their family, their co-workers, the group of the parents for their child at school, well, a social life.
Same for me, it would cut bridges with family member if I wasn't on it.

Unfortunately, I used the two links with the two first comic of the month, just to link to the timelapse. To prevent "your art is AI" rain of messages. I'll have now to choose to remove this link, so I can post a monthly link and a blog post one time per month.

It's complex for user to scan the QR code, if this one appears on the screen of the device they use to scan it. I say that, because according to the built in analytics, most of my Facebook audience check their timeline on smartphones. So, I'm not sure if they can have the possibility to do that, that's sad.

I can't. I could with Twitter (and before Elon took it) because it was only "professional relationship" and I knew our professional bubble of FLOSS digital painting was already very active here on the Fediverse.
But on Facebook, it's old aunt, cousins, fans I met at signing session, that always leave a nice comments and follow weekly, 16K in total.
Even if Facebook act like a bandit, if I leave, they'll shadow ban my message of leaving, and I'll get blamed by the audience for doing it.

For the "network effect", with 3 Billions of active users they are still the number 1 network. (And I'm sad about it, I spent a big part from 2010 to recently to work for a non-profit that tried to inform and educate about the issues with the GAFAM.)

But the "bot before posting" also prevent writing things like:
"I posted something on my blog, you'll find the link in my bio." → this counts as an attempt of external link. I tested this evening.

Monthly report for September is out!

I'm sharing making-of and behind-the-scenes stories, unpublished visuals, and news about all my background projects. I also share (as usual, without paywall) high-resolution images, timelapses, brushes, layered files, tutorials, hardware reviews and more on my websites.

Thank you for all the comments and your amazing support!

Thank you! I'll try on a Lenovo Yoga 370 ( this one https://www.davidrevoy.com/article976/lenovo-yoga-370-on-gnu-linux-technical-companion-article ). I upgraded this year to a similar model ( a Lenovo ThinkBook 14S Yoga ) so the 370 is free for my experimentation and not a drama if I fail. I'll be just happy to just run something else, and dip a toe on another computer world. 😊
