Hey, last month I received a notification on the Facebook page of Pepper&Carrot coming from the page of the EESPSCF Saint-Mard; a specialised Belgium school. It was a post with over 40 photos of lovely DIY themed after episodes of Pepper&Carrot. Here is a translation of the message sent by Norah Flammang, teacher at EESPSCF Saint-Mard:
> Amazed by the boxes made by the students about Pepper & Carrot (a webcomic by David Revoy 🥰😍). I didn't really know what to expect, I was like 'we're testing', but they turned to be real artists 🤩. Everyone was free to represent the scene of their choice, in the frame of respecting a few guidelines (especially on the decor on the outside of the box). This work was done at home following the transition to hybrid home/school education. They took pleasure in making their box, a shared pleasure in sharing the fruit of their work with the whole class. This comic is free/libre and accessible on all media (pc, tablet, smartphone, and of course in paper version). There is not necessarily a lot of text to read on it, which is not negligible for some students, and the humor between the duo is quite well appreciated ☺️. ~ Norah Flammang (teacher at EESPSCF Saint-Mard)
I asked the permission to also share this boxes here on the blog because I wanted this visual to not be only stored on Facebook ;-). I put all of them here under on a gallery. A big bravo to the students, your boxes are great! 👍 Also, bravo to their teacher for the excellent idea.

For the production of episode 34, I decided to create a video production reports.
## The video challenge
This is actually my first time creating a making-of article in video format, as I usually write detailed blog posts. However, I'm trying to adapt to the modern way of consuming content on the internet, as I've noticed that younger generations tend to prefer video content over lengthy blog posts. Although I'm not entirely comfortable with the medium, given my heavy French accent and occasional English mistakes, I believe that video is the best way to convey complex ideas and concepts in an easy-to-understand format. The process of video editing and uploading can be challenging, but I think it's worth it to effectively communicate with my audience.
## Workflow and story
This first video takes you through the process of creating episode 34, including a making-of segment, my thoughts on Wasabi, the scenario, and a new major story arc that's in the works. I hope this video will give you a "backstage feeling" and a glimpse into my creative process for Pepper&Carrot episode 34. In the video, I share my sketches, storyboards, and visuals without spoiling the next episode.

## Inking timelapse
Here's an uncommented timelapse of me inking page 6 of episode 34. During the process, I decided to activate the recorder and even set up a webcam to give you a glimpse of my workflow on the tablet. However, I don't plan on doing this for every page, as you can imagine the massive storage requirements of saving around 10 hours of video like this. Additionally, recording limits my ability to multitask, so you won't see me taking breaks to open the door for the postman, clean up after my cat's occasional mishaps, or respond to merge request issues for Pepper&Carrot translations.

I used both my Cintiq 13HD and Intuos 4XL tablets during this process, depending on my mood (and I want to note that I'm not sponsored by either brand). While I enjoy using the compact Cintiq for inking and sketching, if I had to choose, I prefer the Intuos 4XL.

Can you see the numbers in their silhouettes?
Here is my illustration to wish the end of the pandemic for 2021. Let's hope it will happen.
Happy New Year!
Playing with the numbers for drawing the first artwork of the year is a little tradition I maintain since 2009. You can [find the previous artworks here](tag/newyear "find the previous one here" ).
