@davidrevoy Your great art just got you your 1000ths favorite 😉 This must be the most popular post of the week or something hehe
@davidrevoy Such a true, but sad story.
Not sure if I'll include this new Krita brush I created specifically for this episode in my upcoming brush pack, but it's fun to play with 😅🖌️🦜🦜🦜
While I'm here, check out the timelapse: https://www.peppercarrot.com/0_sources/miniFantasyTheater/making-of/040.mp4 This time, I took a more traditional approach: sketch, inking, painting the background, and then characters. Along the way, I think I found a good preset for inking.

@davidrevoy I was wondering if you drew each and every one of those 😅
@davidrevoy
Probably shouldn't include it; that brush is strictly for the birds.
s;ns
@davidrevoy Heh, this was chat today talking about hard drives. What do you mean Western Digital has sold all their SSDs for 2026? How is that a sentence?
@davidrevoy Well, if a magic stone used to be worth 40! gold coins, at 600 gold coins they are now much cheaper…
(Sorry! I’ll see myself out. 😅)

@davidrevoy “All of them are already sold. Plus, all of the future stones scheduled for the next years are currently sold out, too.”
@davidrevoy Nice way to call out the Hardware situation. Great comic as usual.
@davidrevoy I feel like an extra panel for this would be her asking if she can just get an AI for cheaper and just take one of its gems, and the shop keep being like “sorry, we grind those gems different for Avian Intelligence, they’re useless for wands.”

@bearmine 😆 True.
− 👩 "...and how much for a AI Parrot?"
− 👴 "Oh, take it, and take these 100 gold coins too. That's the AI industry paying you to inflate their total number of users. They desperately need a growth curve to keep investors on board."
@davidrevoy Yip.. yip....
@davidrevoy 
Note que en faite les Intelligences Aviaire ne sont pas encore produit, mais déjà vendue et pas payer

@mangeurdenuage @davidrevoy c'est une arnaque. ils savent que le produit n'a aucun valeur et ils gaspillent la monnaie en espérant que la gouvernement va les sauver avec notre argent en style de bailout comme ils ont fait pour les banques dans les années 2000.

@ooignignoktoo @mangeurdenuage Et oui, tout est misé sur le "Too big to fail" et sous-tirer de l'argent publique pour perfuser cette industrie qui ferait trop mal si elle s'écroulerait...

@davidrevoy @ooignignoktoo @mangeurdenuage trop mal a qui, vraiment? La plulart des gens autour de moi ont déjà perdus leurs boulots dans les deux dernières années. Ils se reorientent dans des secteurs hors de la tech, qui m'engage plus autant. C'est une arnaque de ponzi qui ne sert qu'à extraire encore plus de ressources de la majorité de la population pour les réinjecter dans les mêmes poches déjà trop pleines.
@davidrevoy This is nothing short of an amazing analogy for the current state of things.
@davidrevoy Aww... Based on a true story. 
I bet the cauldrons use up a lot of magic stones, too! They're pretty big, and the stones are pretty small.

@ToonLink Yes, My defective RAM gave me inspiration 🥲
A good news: G.Skill accepted the warranty return, and sending new ones. The bad news: they wanted the 'couple' of RAM stick I bought at that time, so I'm returning 16GB, and run right now with only 16GB. For real; it's ok: with a little RAM monitor on my systray bar, it's to start to close things when consumption is too high.
Oh yes, the cauldrons use way more resources 😺 I need to show this as well. 😊
@davidrevoy
Casting the "ai" as a mechanical *parrot* is freakin genius!

@kitkat_blue Thank you!

@davidrevoy
aww! 😁 thank you too for your wonderful art and comic! I never miss a single one!
@davidrevoy rent * not sell 😅

A friend writes
"Well I don't know the details. You would think some one would ensure they are actually building stuff."
(Artificial shortage of Western Digital drives & East German 4th generation male sheep).
@davidrevoy Camera pans to the buzz lightyear aisle except it's all avian intelligence parrots
@davidrevoy This needs a "later that night..." followup ;)
@davidrevoy By Darwin, please stop hurting me with these comics.
I need to buy some RAM soon. 😭

@davidrevoy Hi I'm quite new to the series, is this also part of Pepper and Carrot included in the hardcover bundle? If not where can I buy the paper form?

@BigShellEvent Hey, thanks for joining! No, MiniFantasyTheater (MFT) is a weekly series a bit new, not part of Pepper&Carrot, but I'm keeping this series in my fantasy world (named Hereva, a parody of a serious world building).
You can read them here: https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/webcomics/miniFantasyTheater.html
Maybe I'll have a look later this spring at offering PDF/Epub/cbz of MFT and a print on demand version too. I have to study if DriveThrewComics POD have a square format. I'll keep news about it here and on the blog.
@davidrevoy My Avian Intelligence told me selling Avian Intelligences is REALLY profitable...
J’aime comment le commentaire politique apparaît dans votre univers autrement fantaisiste et hors du temps.
@davidrevoy the sad thing is, at least they produced the extra avian intelligence units.
the gpus and datacenters, on the other hand, have not been produced and yet they already have such a drastic impact on prices...
