Torreya and Shichimi
I wanted to take a moment with this artwork to express my gratitude to everyone who commented and showed support after I reposted last week the email asking me to erase the relation between these two characters from my comic for homophobic reasons ( https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/114024633213361982 ).
I was overwhelmed by your amount of responses, but in a good way.
Thanks for all this support against hate and intolerance. This only strengthens my motivation to continue in this way with more artworks like that.

I filmed the making of while testing on 
Linux the XpPen Deco 01v3, a budget medium sized screenless tablet, I drew this one with that. The timelapse will be part of the hardware review on the channel (soon, stay tuned!).
Here are two early WIP; the sketch and a pass with better line weight:
merci à toi @davidrevoy de nous montrer la beauté de l'amour et de l'amitié 
@davidrevoy Excellent decision!
@davidrevoy We are the ones who thank you!
@davidrevoy What the? Sorry, I missed the first posting, but you definitely have my support against blatantly oblivious people-hating "concerned parents" like these.
All good. I've been enjoying reading your comic from the beginning as a result of the bozo complaining.
Loving your artwork and general vibe for the characters so far.
How many episodes do I have to look forward to until I've caught up?
@davidrevoy l'amor mai va contra ningú, l'amor sempre guanya l'odi
(Love is never against nobody, love wins always hate)
@davidrevoy Yes, doubling down. 
@davidrevoy wow, almost 1000 retoots, I didn't even know there were so many people on Mastodon 
@davidrevoy eh ben voilà, là c'est un vrai "masterpiece accessible" pour tout les "differents culture family" toussa toussa 
Plus sérieusement, c'est juste doux, beau, vrai ... Le genre qui rend ce monde de m*** supportable et c'est bien. Merci 
@davidrevoy Good that you’re not changing the panel. While I can appreciate that they wrote you a fairly politely worded request instead of an insulting one, the message is absolutely not acceptable! Who we love, is not a “creative choice”. Thank you for standing up to this.
Actually good point. They stayed very polite. But yeah, a bit outdated worldview. In my opinion it should be normal that same sex couples exist. Doesn't mean you should actively try to confront children with it, but also not "try to protect" them from it and therefore marking it as "bad"/"wrong".
@atomictangerine @davidrevoy
@atomictangerine @davidrevoy I mean, the words were polite, in the same way that saying "I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience" while stabbing someone is polite. That letter was a smile with daggers behind it. It was the classic new-conservative talking line of cloaking bigotry behind the ludicrous claim that it "supports diversity" and "increases access to all".
It is, to be frank, entryism. Entryism is an invasive species in your forest, prepared to destroy it if not eradicated.
@davidrevoy What!? You got a reader from the 1400's 
Nah, is crazy when people blame other for their own lack of understanding of love and then they expect everyone else to comply.
Awesome artistry as usual David!!
@davidrevoy The fake niceness always gets to me, it’s so hollow.
I’d like to add some feedback to your artistic choices too. Do what you want, you are doing just fine.
@davidrevoy Wow. Just wow. Go you!
@davidrevoy I'm very interested, cause in need of changing my now very old tablet… can't wait for the review !
@davidrevoy thank you! That’s marvellous!
@davidrevoy You also fixed the left hand in the second sketch, right? (or rather the sleeve)
@ArneBab yes, I still have this bad reflex of drawing open sleeve even when the gravity should close them. 
@davidrevoy I'm always so impressed with you and other artists that can take some simple lines and turn it into something so beautiful and detailed! kudos!
@davidrevoy Awesome! Can't wait! Been trying to pick a budget tablet to get started with. Gave up trying to draw with the mouse. 
@davidrevoy For me his statement was better to read than the statements wrote by "everyone who commented and showed support". And no, not because of the attitude to homosexual relationship but by the way how they refer to another person.
He asked you directly. You could say no and that would be it. Instead he was pelted with insults in the name of tolerance? 
This "support against hate" became hate itself
If we demand respect, let us show it ourselves.
@teinal @davidrevoy You do understand that every nice-sounding word in that email was a complete lie and rhetorical posture, right? You can wrap the poison pill in chocolate, but it will kill all the same.
That behavior does not deserve respect. It's less respectable than the public bigot who yells slurs. At least the loud bigots are being honest.
@roadriverrail @davidrevoy
Thank You Kit I think I get Your point now and I agree being honest is better.
I am just worried that we get two or more groups of people being honest start shouting at each other with hate. But that actually happens everywhere all the time.
I will stop now. Thanks all - that was good learning experience for me.
Take care 
@davidrevoy
Meilleure réponse ever. 
@davidrevoy currently attempting to blow up the author of that email with my mind
Very cool characters! I’m sorry some jackass is being homophobic about them.
@davidrevoy I'm just glad to have found your work. I've got a hardcover copy of volume 1 on the way, and I'm sure it'll get circulated around my roller derby league when I'm done with it.
@roadriverrail 
Thank you! And don't hesitate to give a feedback (public or PM here, as you want) about the print quality.
The service I use is 'print on demand', so they use the same file for printing as when I submitted it years ago and checked, and I hope their process is still the same. They are literally printing the books one by one.
You can quickly browse all the efforts I had to do to make a file without using any proprietary software: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article757/the-english-book-printed-project-production-report-3
@davidrevoy It's DriveThruRPG and I buy lots of RPG sourcebooks from them and they're always lovely. I expect it'll be just fine.
