RIP Monty Oum 1981-2015

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

The world has lost a creative talent few could hope to match, far too soon. Regardless of opinions towards him and his work, he has left us with things that shall be remembered for as long as they exist.

Farewell, Monty.

Now here's a little bit of nice news: the avatar dressing site GaiaOnline made an item (well, two if you want to be technical) in honor of Monty: Red Crescent [http://www.gaiaonline.com/marketplace/itemdetail/10123821].

For those who aren't on the site, the item is Crescent Rose from RWBY, and it has three poses: its scythe form, its collapsed form, and a rose petal pose. The item's description is 'Keep moving forward.' Along with that, they posted this update: http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/gaia-news-updates/staff-updates/t.63632027_1242/#1242


And here's the Rooster Teeth podcast on Monty: http://roosterteeth.com/podcast/episode.php?id=309

Keep moving forward...God damn it, Monty really was, and continues to be, an inspiration.

Rest In Peace Monty Oum, you will be missed.

If you haven't already checked it out, you can find a video someone captured of the livescreen on YouTube. Just search for "RT Podcast 309". Matt, Burnie, Gus, and someone else I didn't recognize discussed memories of Monty and ended with a video honoring him.

That was Gary Haddock, Rooster Teeth's head of animation.
He's also done voice acting in anime in the past:

Thanks. I haven't listened to the Roosterteeth podcast in some time, so I probably missed his introduction. Now's as good a time as any to start listening again.

The world is a little darker without him.

Rest in Piece, Monty. You'll always be remembered and you'll live through the content others produce due to your inspiration.

This was actually the first time he's ever appeared in a Podcast, he actually joined about 3 years ago during season 9.
Here was his introduction post:

He's kindof a more behind the scenes guy, but more recently he has been in several The Know videos.
