Hi Patrons, here is the weekly n°7 !
★ This week bonus ★
A 5min video timelapse compressing 5h of work to download in attachment ( open fine in VLC video player ). And if you don't have time, I also join the main steps as a big image.
Note : I made this new artwork named "User manual" to refresh a bit the cover on website ( will be online in the end of week; I'll add the wallpaper/HD version tomorrow for all patron too ).
In this one, you can see in background a city with windmills, chimney. It's the "Technologist Union" city ; were Coriander is coming from.
The work-in-progress had a lot of mutations and was chaotic ( you can see how 'digital-painting' is flexible compared to a drawing , I can change 180° an idea during the process ) . Also, I changed the facial expression of Carrot before the end ; his expression of fear was fun, but I wanted a more 'happy' situation for both. During a long period of the making-of , the skirt of Pepper was too short. Fixed too just before the end. I also had a crash, random notification pop-up on screen. Well... I don't think I'll repost this one on main Youtube channel. It's backstage material, but CC-By too if you want to repost or reuse (same for all extras here ) ; I hope you'll like it.
✥ New articles in contributions :
Check http://www.peppercarrot.com/en/static4/contribute to see the first printed version of Pepper&Carrot by Cfdev and all the Ebooks in *.epub or *.pdf of Carlo Gandolfi and Antonio Parisi. Next week, I'll add news about 3D printing contributions. Also , I received a new fan-art.
✥ Translations :
- Uncle Night, known for the Russian translation of Pepper&Carrot completed his translation of the website , the website font I'm using for most of other translations wasn't looking good in Cyrilic , so I made a little code to let each language switch the font. Now the website looks good in [ru] http://www.peppercarrot.com/ru/static3/webcomics
- New tool : 'Status overview' : http://www.peppercarrot.com/article267/how-to-add-a-translation-or-a-correction#status , a dynamic table to see how complete the translation are.
- Welcome to Català new langage, on episode 01 to 02 by Juan Jose Segura. I just received will I was writing this note the ep 03. [ca] http://www.peppercarrot.com/ca/article234/potion-of-flight
✥ Website
- New feature, it's possible now to link to a page of Pepper&Carrot ; just click on the page ( eg. dragoncow page : http://www.peppercarrot.com/en/article241/episode-3-the-secret-ingredients#page6 )
- The new website was released last week, so I made a lot of bug fix on it : there was deep issue with linking to a language.
- I also added new 'milestone' to the Patreon page and explain better ( I hope ) what I do ; the initial 'Patreon page' was setup almost one year ago ; a mini refresh was necessary. Feel free to check and let me know if I can improve something. I'll keep refreshing graphics and fix typo on the way.
Episode 8 is still in production, and it's official ; it's a long one ^_^ Release probably on mid-June. Thanks again for all your support , Pepper&Carrot is growing , growing ! This is amazing.

Thank you Stephan for the feedback about it. I also received fix in-between from the creators of the content-management-system I use to run the website, and even fix from contributors inspecting the website code. Everything is more robust than one month ago. I cross my finger for this structure to remain solid ! Have a nice week-end too :-)
Hello David, a little update regarding the comic loading problems I had. As of today, there are non. I opened every episode, everthing is looking good for me now.:-) I don't know if it's because the Android 5 updates on my devices or somthing else. If this happens again, I'll give you a hint. Have a nice weekend!

Super! Thanks for the feedback about already seeing the warning message. yes, I'll digg a bit more the code to try to totally 'prevent' a missing picture.
Thanks for your fast reply, I deleted the picture and I can already see the refresh info you´ve added. :-) I hope this is easy to fix, good luck with this!

Hi Stephan, Thank you a lot for your kind words and encouragement ! Thanks also for the report about FirefoxMobile, ( you can delete the image on your server now ) . I don't know if I can do something if the server miss to send a page ; but I can certainly tries to do this : 1- reserve a width and lenght for pages, so in case of a page missing, the white big page will send to the user an obvious message : the page is missing. 2 - add to the 'alt' message , ( the one you can read 'Pepper&Carrot (de) : Episode 6 , Seite 4 ' an additional message to invite the user to refresh the page. I'll also browse internet to see if there is other way to fix this type of issue. Thanks a lot ! this bug can really breaks the pleasure to read, and I really want to fix this :-)
Hello David, very nice work as always! It´s really amazing what you are doing! I totally agree with you that the longer skirt is better. It fits better the style of the comic. I also share the work you are doing with my friends and family, hopefully you will get more Patrons :-) Also I want to submit a problem with displaying the comic on my android tablet. I use Firefox and in mobile mode parts of the comic are not loading. When i switch Firefox to Desktop mode, everything is fine. As example: currently Episode 6 Page 4 isn`t loading Firefox displays: Pepper&Carrot (de) : Episode 6 , Seite 4 I uploaded a picture of it on my blog: <a href="https://stheel.wordpress.com/failure-when-loading-peppercarrot-comic/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://stheel.wordpress.com/failure-when-loading-peppercarrot-comic/</a> I hope that helps a bit. (And please tell me when you have seen the picture, so I can delete it.) So at last: good to hear of Ep 8, i really can´t wait to read it! But take your time, I don`t wanna push. Regards Stephan
