David Revoy is an extremely talented illustrator and a long time supporter of free & open source tools. He released "Chaos & Evolutions"[1] a few years ago where he shows his workflows in gimp, alchemy and mypaint, he was involved with the making of the movie "Sintel", another open source project made in Blender[2] and his blog is filled with tutorials for the Krita software (photoshop alternative for ilustrations). You can find a lot of his wonderful works on deviantart, but my favorite by far (and I urge everyone to take a look) is the graphic novel "L'heritage en couleur" [3].

He was involved in Sintel? If I had any money to give, they'd have it.

It's not clear whether David is involved in this project. Nothing against it but if you're going to use someone else's assets make sure you get at least his blessing. The author of the campaign is NOT David Revoy but some unknown guy from Russia. I personnally would not give any money to this kind of project if the original author is not clearly involved, Creative Commons or not.

They don't need his blessing because David Revoy explicitly released their webcomics under CC-BY. Although you're right about your clarification, I think the parent just wanted to talk about David Revoy in general rather than the author of the animation campaign.

We had David Revoy over to our place last weekend for the Krita sprint (https://krita.org/en/item/new-builds-to-test-krita-sprint-to...) and he was very enthusiastic about this project, saying that Nikolai was really good at drawing. He loved the trailer! The campaign definitely is blessed by David.

The campaign is also endorsed by Konstantin Dmitriev, the person behind the Morevna project who gave Synfig a new lease of life.

So I had no hesitation to promote his campaign on the Krita website: https://krita.org/en/item/pepper-carrot-comic-goes-animated/.
