HARU
🕑 Added 2024-02-12 00:21:28 +0000 UTCI just learned the news. I don't know where to begin.
Or maybe yes, I do.
I've rarely met someone as kind, patient, pedagogic, overall generous, hard working, curious, open-minded and influent as ExplicitHaru
And I know exactly what I want to remember and share about him.
Creative and generous.
The first time we met on discord, I think, I was still creating with DAZ and very shy about blender... He took the time, aaaaall the necessary time to explain to me how it worked, bits by bits, encouraging me to try things like the teacher he was and I remember very well when he taught me shaders *giggles*
It was so overwhelming !
but...
"One week and you'll feel better with them and won't want to come back"
It was true, and with every other lesson it was true.
Then... we shared
Our victories and doubts, our findings and joys, what we'd really want to do and how far it was from reach and how much we didn't care because, We were curious about everything.
So...
If my creation is what it is today, if I've solved so many technical problems, if you can see these pictures I make...
There's a bit of Haru in each of them, just like this wonderful shader I've used and improved on so much.
Wherever Haru is gone, I hope it's a good, creative and peaceful place. And if it's not, I know he'll create it, patiently, curiously.
Wherever he's gone... his kindness and creativity lives on through my creation and it makes me smiles now...
I'm sad.
So.
I will keep on creating, because that's certainly what he would have wished for.
But.
I won't be publishing anything for a week and stay silent, as an hommage to the great human being behind the creator. Thank you for your understanding, patrons.
All my thoughts go to his family and friends, and if you read this, somewhere far from here, I mourn with you.
Thank you for everything, Haru. I miss your presence, dearly. And in my heart, you'll never vanish.
Ever.

He also collaborated with a bunch of other other artists, like Paramouth Pictures, among others. He will be missed by the entire community. :(

We're all sad, yes. But I'm certain that his work and creation will remain an inspiration in the years to come. To me, it is.

I will. I am.

Let's make sure his art lives on, in one way or another *smiles softly* That's what I'll do

Wait...what? I know I follow him on DA, but not really on other platforms. This is sad news. He was a teacher to many.

All we know is that the last thing he wrote a few months ago was a very depressing text, so we can only guess

I am so sorry to hear. My deepest condolences to you. I'm sure he is very proud of you. Take good care of yourself during this difficult time.

I'm so sad and shocked to hear this. I only had minimal contact with him but his work was always an inspiration. As are you, spreading the knowledge and inspiration onwards. Take your time and we look forward to seeing what you create next. Take care x

I know who he was and i really much liked his Art. It's sad that we will never get so see more of what he had left for us. BTW do you know how or because of what he died?
