The permissive license of the webcomic Pepper&Carrot has allowed several episodes of it to be remixed into animated short films by the Morevna Project, here "The Potion Contest".

David Philippe Revoy[1] (French: [david ʁəvwa]; born in 1981[2] in Reims) is a French artist best known as the creator of the free webcomic series Pepper&Carrot which is translated into 27 languages to a degree of 90 percent or more.[3] It is published as books via Glénat.[4]

After work in traditional painting, Revoy started using digital tools in 2003 and moved to use free and open-source software around 2009.

Revoy publishes a great deal of his work under free licenses, allowing his work to be remixed even for commercial use. This has led to derivations of mainly Pepper&Carrot such as animated films, cosplay, a card game and several video games. Revoy has expressed excitement about the derivations and often links to them from his web page. He has interpreted freely licensed works and works in the public domain. In 2010 he was awarded the CG Choice Award for an illustration of Alice in Wonderland. One of his most famous works is "Yin and Yang of world hunger", a remix of the yin and yang symbol.

He has published several tutorials, time-lapse videos, and speed-painting videos showing his work process and has described his hardware and software setup.
