Release of the Pepper&Carrot self-published comics books in English version!
Hey patrons,
Two weeks ago, was the launch of the self-published English books of Pepper&Carrot! πππ https://www.davidrevoy.com/shop πππ
β Quick recap about the last months:Making my own self-published books with Pepper&Carrot was a big project I started in 2017[1] and I finalized during last summer. It was arguably one of the greatest source of slowdown between the production of new episodes from 2019 to now. Making this books with only Free/Libre and Open Source software from scratch was also a real challenge and required in all 7 pass of print-proof(!) and countless of adjustments. In September and October, I spent most of my time working on the release material: videos, product pages, webdesign of the shop and I also took commissions: an illustration for the Free Software Foundation[2], the mascots for Spritely[3] and the illustrations for the V1 of Mobilizon [4].
β The release of the books:I shared on 15 October the release video everywhere I could (video above in the header of this post). I quickly was very impressed by the feedback: 235 books sold the first day, 555 the first week and 777 today after the second week. I made drawings on my recent blog posts to illustrate that. Thank you very much if you purchased them!
β And Patreon?This evening, I realized I forgot to communicate this announcement here on Patreon. I had to fix that in case you don't follow my work via social media or RSS because my "Special Launch Offer" sale ends on Saturday 31 (in three days). So, better late than never and here is your chance to get them while they're cheap!
β End of the monthWill it reach 1000 books sold by the end of the month? No idea, but that would be amazing! I'll post the result on 1st November on social-media and blog(RSS).
Oh, and last note: a detail about the books that you might like: your names appears at the end of the three comic books (photo under). The credits were copied from the ending of previous episode 33: The Spell of War[5]. So thank you very much again for your support: without it; I would never have drawn over 200 comic pages and published three books plus an Artbook! You took a big part in making all of this possible.
I'll work hard to release a future Pepper&Carrot episode as soon as possible, optimist ETA: end November... Realistic: first week of December. I'll share productions reports on the blog. Have a good end of week to you all! π~ David.
