User blog comment:SelenaZephyr/Monty Oum - A Eulogy/@comment-13172690-20150203145134

Before I heard about RWBY and more about Monty Oum and his outstanding work, I was just a normal high school student with some skill with school and a whole lot of creativity just waiting to be seen. While i was watching another show, Red vs Blue, I saw the Red trailer after the season 10 finale. That sparked more of my ideas and my own imagination. It was like:

"Wow! OH my god, I want to do something like this! This is awesome!"

The funny thing was that it was close to my own story: 10 Maidens. Throughtout seeing his continuous tweets, pics and vines of upcoming rwby stuff, He has become a role model to me. When each RWBY episode came on, I was amazed with his growing work and improvement on the show. Especially season 2. It really improved from earlier parts of RvB. Which is how i came here, to my own characters from his own world.

Ive always wanted to meet him and thank him for all hes done for us and myself. Though I guess it was not meant to be. He was taken way too soon from us and ill be sad for losing someone like him. He'll continue to be inspiration to me as I advance towards my own work towards my career and work towards something great that i can share with this world.

Thank you, Monty for everything. We'll never forget you. <3
