My Humble homage to the man that made alot for the furry community, made furry art taken more seriously, thanks to him skunk suddenly turned into one of the most attracktive and sexiests creatures to draw in a fandom full of wolves, vixens and cats, im going to miss him and his artwork alot as well.
James M. Hardiman Aka Skunkworks passed away recently this August 29th due to health issues, he was very known and appreciated into the furry community and even outside it, if you happen to don´t know who he was, here is the link to his account here, i recomend you to check his artwork, it´s simply awesome http://www.furaffinity.net/user/skunkworks/
My condolences to his family, friends and fans.
Knowing how he was, im sure he would liked to be dismissed and remembered with humor and possitive attitude, instead of sadness and mourning.
So here i made him roaming the routes of heaven as the wild and free spirit he was, along with 2 of the greatest passions he has in his life, Bikes and his 3 mischievous skunkettes that most of us know.
I think since he liked bikes alot, this is the perfect tune to farewell him >;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vppbdf-qtGU not sure if he did dig ZZ top but i guess he must liked at least this theme.
See you in another life dude, i never had the chance to meet you personally, but for the few messages we exchanged, and the brief conversations we had through PM, im sure you been a great guy to hang with and talk, you just left too soon, things around the furry fandom wont be the same without you.
James M. Hardiman those who found inspiration from your work, enjoyed your art and shared your passion for bikes and art we salute you!

I didn't know him as well but I knew of him. Was years ago in a comic shop I found some Radio Comics books and bought them, tried to order more but the shitty store owner sent them back when I didn't come get them while I was saving up money. Was them I found the furry fandom and some of his work was the first I saw. Wish I could have thanked him and could have talked to him...can only hope he wasn't in pain.
Well, over the years he left many hints about the things he liked most, so i guess this picture is the most close way about how he would liked most to be honoured.
Thanks for the compliment about the pic, i would preffered to show it to him befor pass, but if there is a netherlife and his sipirt is still lurking around, i hope Jim liked this pic heh

He was only 42 and started selling strips to Genus magazine when he was 27 or 28. A very talented artist, I didn't know how young he was and he'd gone from us much too soon. He must have spun the wheel of Genetic Lottery and gotten a very bad result to fall to diabetes at such a young age, he didn't have the usual risk factor of obesity from the pictures I've seen. I knew his health was not great but I didn't expect him to up and die on us! I will miss his journals and his art.
James would have liked this drawing quite a bit I think. We had been friends for over 17 years and he was kind enough to do several pieces of art for us as gifts. We hall miss his dry wit and quirky sense of humor. His bravery in the face of so many adversities should inspire us all.
Gracias Jaleo, si el lo esta viendo desde el mas alla ojala si le haya gustado.
Al igual que a ti su estilo tuvo cierta influencia en mi aun cuando antes de descubrirlo ya dibujaba hace años.
Cuando vi sus trabajos por primera vez, fue como algo que me abrio la mente, me enseño que no todo lo mejor en el mundo era dibujar estilo anime si no que otros estilos, y en especial el de el, podian aportar y enriquecer enormemente tu propio estilo si aprendias de este y le agregabas a tus dibujos las cosas buenas y acertadas a tu propio estilo podias desarrollar cosas aun mas asombrosas.

Ja ja ja muchas gracias por tan gran elogio, pero no soy digno, no creo que llegue a estar a la altura de la situacion, sin duda que mi estilo muestra rasgos que son resultado de su influencia, pero hay gente como Bulletsoup que dibuja mucho mas similar a como el lo hacia ( siempre y cuando Bulletsoup no haya sido mas que un alter-ego de el mismo).
Pero sin duda en lo futuro seguire haciendo dibujos dedicados a sus personajes para mantener vivo su recuerdo y legado dentro de lo que humildemente pueda, me encantaba no solo su estilo de dibujo si no su humor acido y sarcastico.

Si, tienes comics que te aplaudo, el Gore que dibujas es genial y poco a poco vas creando mas y mejores imágenes.
Honestamente sos parte de el espíritu artístico de el, siento que el no nos dejo,(nunca lo conosi en persona, pero ojala te vea a vos, pero si, supe de el por el internet y su arte y ya...) el legado de el descansa en tu arte, men, en serio.
Ahora crece, pues ya murió pero tu cargas una antorcha, de el y muchos mas artistas que vivieron por su arte, entonces dale duro, tu puedes , pibe, que te apoyo.
Voy a ponerle un dibu también conmemorativo, no va a ser tan vien elaborado como este pero bueno, lo merece.

Thanks alot man, I hope it so, you know something? when Jim wrote the last journals talking about his health situation at the end of July, and talked about his kidney problem and the dialisis thing, i had the bad feeling that he may not pass from this year.
I had the idea and images for this homage picture runing in my mind, and just in case i wanted to make it and show it to him before things worsened, i guess if you´re going to make an homage to someoe is better if you show it to him or her when they´re still alive but damn, i couldn´t imagine it would happen so suddenly in August....
unfortunatelly i´ll never have the chance to get the answer from him now, un less there is a netherworld and i could contact him with a Ouija board or something, but i can imagine he may liked it.

An excellent tribute.Maybe this awesome song could accompany this pic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QGMCSCFoKA
RIP James.
RIP James.
Ha ha ha ha nice one, also the lyric match alot with things in the picture, i guess if i made this one when he were still alive, eh may had joked with this and this song.
I think another good one to accompany this homage pic since he´s with his girls would be this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae829mFAGGE

Hardiman fue uno de los primeros artistas que conoci y me inspiro en dibujar furry, sus trabajos son 5 estrellas por excelencia sin dudarlo; en las paginas donde segun mueren las tres principales personajes de Hardiman, cuando se va volcando el carro...Guaauuuu, bien detallado.
Sinceramente si me pone muy triste, pero me es más triste enterarme pues, ya muy tarde, no se si la noticia apenas salio o si nadie decia nada hasta ahora, pero en fin, el ES todavía un pilar fundamental del furry/yiff, MUCHO ANTES DE TODOS NOSOTROS, podria decirse que fue nuestro padre fundador y sin exagerar...
Descansa en paz Hardiman, no solo has hecho buenos trabajos, también esparciste tu influencia a todos nosotros y, personalmente, me diste una razón por la cual vivir... Gracias.

Hardiman fue uno de los grandes e iniciadores en este terreno sin duda.
Cuando vi sus trabajos por primer vez inmediatamente me enamore de su estilo y me dije a mi mismo (carajo! yo de este tipo puedo aprender 2 o 3 cosas) aunque no fue una influencia definitiva en mi vida, sin duda gracias a el mi estilo de dibujo mejoro mucho de aprender mirando sus trabajos y leer sobre como trabajaba.
Hubiera deseado que estuviera entre nosotros un par de años mas, pero bueno, como suele suceder, las cosas buenas duran una breve cantidad de tiempo.
Pero vaya si dejo una gran huella de su paso por el fandom que fueron años gloriosos, se le recordara y extrañara mucho.

NO!!!
Tell me is not true!!
I'm...
I have not a word, nothing to say, as i feel like a massive brick wall fell onto me!
I knew him not personally but his artwork his comment, his comics, his being...himself.. had a profund impact on who i'm now and what I like. Some of his works were also smarter than people gave him credit.
I felt that this is surely one of the grimmest year i've experienced so far....as fan i mean....
I don't even knew he was sick!!!
I feel really really guilty as i should have paid more attention, don't know, being more directly friendly....
Is a lesson...every chance in our life is one-shot only, losing it could mean losing it forever.....
I'm sorry if this comment seemed too long...
And the dots, well reflect my complete lack of words and breath, I feel like something pulled stuff from my lungs right now...
So long Mr. Hardiman, you'll live on in your work and the good feeling(overall and complete) they leaved within lot of people.

Honestly i seen this coming from the last news he posted between middle july and early August.
But i didn´t expected him to leave suddenly in August, when he wrote about going through dialisis, i thought he could still hold on at least till late 2015
Well, at least he isn´t suffering anymore, but i will miss that bastard

No se si es lo que quisiera ya que era un tio al que siempre le gustaba estar en movimiento y hacer algo je je je. ojala si es que hay un mas alla, le dejen seguir personalizando motos y entretener a las almas con sus dibujos tan expresivos y entretenidos como solia hacer cuando estaba por aqui, lo bueno es que al menos ya no tendra que sufrir mas ya con los problemas de salud que tenia que eran una verdadera putada.
Sin duda se le extrañara.

Damn you're a fast artist o.o I can't do any type of art that quick, even with the ease of digital art xD very nice picture! I think he would have liked it. Sucks to hear about him :( some of the first art I remember seeing when I got into this wonderful fuzzy world of art lol. Now I gotta start on my tribute pic! XD
excelente dibujo Mariano, es uno de los mejores homenajes que e visto para James, inspiración y amigo de muchos, gracias a él y otros, el furry fandom pudo ser conocido por todos en el mundo, se diria que muchos de nosotros se lo debemos a Jamer Hardiman ya que sin él, que seria del furry fandom? aunque recuerda Mariano "mientras uno recuerde a alguien al igual que recuerden sus obras, esa persona jamas morira" palabras de un gran sabio que hasta estos dias es recordado
