Amazing linework, can't wait to meet you in Lucca!

MarcoMaps Bernardini @marcomaps.bsky.social · 6h

That's an excellent idea but it works best on background stuff T_T this is a main focus - sadly! (Dw knees are safe)

MarcoMaps Bernardini @marcomaps.bsky.social · 8h

For sad that it is, I think I'll have to resort just to my patience and dedication ._.

I think I should ask to @conornolan.bsky.social , @ianmcque.bsky.social or @nweis.bsky.social but I'm afraid they would kick me in the knee.

Tips on how to hatch a pine forest by hand quickly?
Whoever suggests "do it patiently" gets kicked in the knee.
Also whoever who says "use A/I" gets kicked in the knee.
Oh, also who tips me any method that is not drawing it painstakingly gets kicked in the knee.

Everyone gets kicked in the knee.

I can't imagine how many hearts Drew Struzan's art touched. How many creative mind he sparked. How many art careers he kickstarted.

This is the pinnacle of Art, a thing A/I slop will never manage to reach.

Thanks for your legacy, Drew.
May your memory be a blessing and your art be a seedling.

IWorld just lost more than an artist. He was a precursor, a legend, a master in any way. May he sleep peacefully ❤️

We’ve lost Drew Struzan. A modern master, who by all accounts was a humble, sweet, loving, dedicated man. His work influenced culture itself, & we’ll be seeing that influence until the end of the modern world. What a legacy. What a body of work. May he rest well, & may his memory be a blessing.

I Just slept 12 hours straight lol.

I'm back home folks. Tired as hell - but so glad for the medical science and competence that allowed my father to survive.

I'm going to be out of order for 2-3 days to recover my peace of mind. Love you all!

MarcoMaps Bernardini @marcomaps.bsky.social · 5d

Update: my father is out of intensive therapy and he's incredibly in amazing health and strength! No neural damages whatsoever and he's as chatty and witty as ever! (And hungry!) The recovery will be shorter than they initially thought 💕 thanks everyone for the support - also dad thanks you all!!💕💕

So, the quadruple bypass + aortic valve transplant was successful - they are still keeping him sedated and monitored for any bleeding, blood infection or neurological damages (which they don't think he'll develop) due to external blood circulation...

I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour
