Rest in Peace, chardman

[Ptrope]

One of our fellow artists, chardman, passed away on Friday. He had a heart attack last Sunday, 11/1, and though he survived, he was without oxygen for approx. 12 minutes, and never regained consciousness. His family was by his side when he was removed from life support.

Chardman has crossed over, peacefully, to the undiscovered country - let us wish him the very best, and as his friend for most of my life, I would ask that all who wish to honor his memory pursue your dreams, create and never waste your time nor your talents, and leave this world a more beautiful, more interesting place, as he did.

My sympathies to you and his family. RIP

Looking back at his thread history, he was usually the one to announce the deaths of various celebrities on this board. Now it's his turn. Damn shame. Always enjoyed reading his opinions on WordForge, as well.

Are there any examples of his art on here other than the "Stuff" album of gifs on his profile? Seems appropriate here to display them as a tribute to the man.

I'll see what other art of his I can find and post it here.

Didn't know he did fanart. I only know him from his relatively brief tenure on Wordforge, but he made Bender into a meme there.

Ptrope, if you have his stuff on a Photo bucket collection, I'll be more than glad to link that in his memorial thread at WF as well.

"Of my friend I can only say this; Of all the souls I've known, His was the most...Human." I didn't know him! But he was a fellow Trek Fan and artist! We Honor you Chardman! o7

First Sasser, now this.

I'm very sad to hear this. I enjoyed chatting with him on the board.

Rest In Peace, chardman.

My condolences on the death of your friend, Ptrope. Be well.

 

[Bernard Guignard]

My condolences.

 

[Psion]

We are diminished with his passing, but his work and comments leave an inspirational imprint. Render on, Chardman!

 

[The Lensman]

Wow, this is sad news indeed. Condolences to his family and to you for the loss of your friend Ptrope.

 

[Praetor]

How very sad. My sympathies to his loved ones.

I mostly knew him over at Wordforge but I will miss the big guy. He never let his disability define who he was as a person and I admire that plus he was pretty good at coming up with custom gifs to troll the conservatives. God speed, some where Bender is laughing.
