MT STUDIOS | Manifesto

MT Studios originates from extensive personal and professional experience. My name is Marco Turini, and for over thirty years, I've dedicated myself to comics and concept art for some of the most prestigious international publishers, including Marvel, DC Comics, and many others. My career also includes significant collaborations in the film industry, having worked with renowned VFX studios in London and the United States, including concept art for Marvel films like "Doctor Strange." Additionally, I've contributed to the gaming industry, creating concept art and visuals for numerous successful titles. Throughout my career, I've also served as Art Director and Creative Director for various multimedia projects.

All of this accumulated experience now converges into MT Studios, a project founded on the fundamental principle of quality.

We live in an era characterized by globalization and rapid technological advancements, where advanced tools and artificial intelligence enable virtually anyone to create visual content, video games, comics, and cinematic concepts. MT Studios is not opposed to artificial intelligence or any technology; we fully respect the legality and proper use of technological tools ( in this regard we point out that the legislation on this matter is still vague, with significant risks for investors ). However, we believe that for an authentic, creative, and talented artist, using artificial intelligence in artistic production is neither interesting nor inspiring. We simply consider that a product created through AI tends to be qualitatively inferior, or to use a more precise English term, "cheap."

What truly distinguishes a product and guarantees lasting success is authentic quality, understood as professional competence, originality, profound cultural research, and meticulous attention to detail. This quality cannot be replicated by artificial intelligence because it inherently derives from human experience, artistic sensitivity, and the unique human capacity to attribute deep and authentic meanings to each project.

At MT Studios, we aim not only to produce visually effective content but to create something that leaves a lasting and unique impact. Quality represents the foundational element and the central value of our activity, extending across every sector we operate in: cinema, gaming, and comics.

The quality we speak of is tangible and recognizable by audiences. A film created by Stanley Kubrick isn't simply another film; viewers experience thoughts and feelings after watching it that enrich their personal growth. The same is true of works by artists like David Lynch, Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri, or Moebius. This unique ability to touch people's souls demonstrates that audiences can perceive authentic quality and react with significantly more interest and emotion compared to ordinary products.

Therefore, we believe that recent phenomena such as memes or viral content don't genuinely reflect what audiences seek in entertainment products. They are merely quick, superficial, and disposable content intended for immediate consumption, lacking the depth and artistic value we advocate.

In cinema, we offer a comprehensive range of services beyond simple storyboarding. We produce highly detailed visualizations that enable filmmakers to see each scene clearly before actual filming, helping optimize production schedules and budgets. This method results in visuals resembling detailed, realistic graphic novels, precisely illustrating camera movements, ideal shot composition, lighting setups, and overall scene atmosphere.

In the gaming sector, we primarily focus on high-level concept art and narrative visuals that can be directly integrated into video games, as we have done previously with major companies such as WarGames.

An additional unique value MT Studios provides is the creation of physical resin models based on our original concepts. With my expertise in 3D modeling, I can deliver detailed, exclusive models of characters, suitable as collectibles or unique promotional items for our clients.

MT Studios also collaborates with carefully selected partner artists. A distinctive feature of this approach is that although clients may directly collaborate with artists other than Marco Turini, every project continues to be personally supervised by Marco, ensuring a consistent high-quality standard. These partner artists will be very limited in number—likely no more than two or three—and carefully chosen to align perfectly with MT Studios' vision. We invite interested artists to submit their portfolios via the email indicated on the turiniart.com website, reminding them that the selection process will be exceptionally rigorous.

Alongside our creative activities, MT Studios includes an exclusive shop featuring standard on-demand products as well as limited-edition, numbered, and personalized artistic prints and resin figurines.

MT Studios stands for quality, originality, and uniqueness: choosing us means choosing to stand out.
