Monthly report for September is out!

davidrevoy.com/article1180/mon

I'm sharing making-of and behind-the-scenes stories, unpublished visuals, and news about all my background projects.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!

I couldn't post my monthly update on the Facebook page because apparently, now I can post only 2 external links per month...

Monetizing external links, what a shame, Meta. :rblobglare:

@drgeo 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.

@davidrevoy It is not wise to be loyal to someone who is not loyal to you in return. In the long run, this benefits enemies and harms friends.

@lunovox Yes, not wise and not intelligent, to stay in a deal with one side behaving like a bandit: taking (content) without giving back the opportunity for the content creator to get support.
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.

@davidrevoy, perhaps you could try a planned exit: deciding on a date you stop publishing on FB and communicating that date, along with a link to peppercarrot.com via an extra slide in the comics (as well as in the footer of the main slides).

You could also add the second link to the links section of the P&C Facebook page (see image).

As for people who blame you for using AI in the comments... I doubt they're reading your comic anyway, because if they did, they'd probably know by now that you don't?

Of course, I don't know how many of your patrons are following (and can only follow) you on Facebook specifically.

I myself keep my FB profile essentially to use Messenger with friends and relatives whose other messaging apps don't intersect with mine. Other than that, FB is basically dead to me.

@rq @lunovox Good ideas. Thank you for sharing. Yes, I might end up doing the same if Facebook prevent me to do the ABC of content creator living on Internet.
Only keep a dormant account to keep the namespace, and keep the relation with distant family and old friends via Messenger (and encourage them to continue discussion on Signal App if they have, I often inform about that).
