Otter in "full size"

BHuber, I think that's a good idea. You can either do a special version, or simply select one that he liked especially. Since he was so fond of historical and technical accuracy, I think the second option is best but I'll let you decide. Can you send me the image once you've done/chosen it at webmaster[AT]gaetanmarie[DOT]com?

Those who want to join in and send a note can send me their text by email at that same address. I'll print the textes I receive and send them along with BHuber's illustration.

Any other suggestions are welcome.

Woah I missed this post! Very sad news, and quite unexpected too.

A couple of years ago he said to me about my 3D work: "What you do is utterly stunning. I'll be long in my grave before I ever reach that level of sophistication."
Little did I know he was being serious...

Rest In Peace Otter.

RIP what a shock! this forum won't be the same!! He was a great artist and was always striving for perfection even though many of us thought his drawings were perfect he always thought he could do better. His accuracy & attention to detail was amazing!

This morning a month ago, our friend Otterkins2 died.

Had this book arrive today and it is a shame that I couldn't give any acknowledgements as Otterkins was a huge help with some AW.52/52G artwork that appears inside, so if I could I'd dedicate it to him in the text but will instead put the dedication on here where it will hopefully be appreciated.

I've not logged in for a long time, and to see this news is very disheartening. RIP Otter :'(

Hi Otter ...

a year ago that you've adopted from us "living things on time".
But you're still with us ... I often think of you.
All the best ... be where ever you like.

We'll see you again my friend
Heli

I was also recently thinking of him. Time flies, but we will remember.
