An Tribute To Two Great YouTubers

Hey guys, pk here,

Now I'm sure you're all aware of the news recently within the animator community of YouTube that we've lost two great talents, the first being Monty Oum, of Rooster Teeth who created and moulded RWBY into what it is now and Colin Wyckoff, aka kitty0706 who was definitely one of the best SFM Animators out there.

Monty Oum was suddenly rushed to hospital on unknown reasons to thr public at time of writing and was put into critical care, however during a simple medical reaction he suffered a severe allergic reaction to the medicine putting him into a coma. He never woke up.

Kitty0706 on the other hand was taken by something similar to Eddsworld undeserved passing, his battle with Leukaemia. Colin has been fighting with it for two years, and in the past had been hospitalised for significant periods of time, and despite having a bone marrow transplant which had apparently removed the threat of Leukaemia, he never told anyone when it returned, and during Magcon, he passed away in peace.

Needless to say, these two people were massive talents and they didn't deserve to go when there are so many horrible people alive in the world. Monty was 33. Colin was just 20.

Below are two tribute videos, Monty's made by his home and live RoosterTeeth and Colin's made by his close friend and popular SFM Animator DasBoSchitt.

Tribute to Monty Oum:

Those 2
were my inspiration of drawing, I almost teared out when I heared about it
Fond Farewell to both of those 2, they were one of the biggest innovation and inspiration in Drawing

the gif is not a joke, I couldnt find a a proper one

 

May they rest in peace.

They don't deserve to die this young.

 

Yes, you have a point, but as we muslims say

 

I respect every religion on this planet, and can understand their point of view aswell.
I won't go into discussion because that won't result in anything. :)

 

I unfortunately had not gotten to see any of their work, but may they rest in peace, my thoughts and prayers are with their families.

 

I don't think I'd heard of them before, but I'll definitely check out their stuff now. I refused to believe Edd Gould died when he did in 2012. I just couldn't stand it. I got my username from one of his vids.

 

RIP. They're amazing, and really talented. It's so sad, and I hope their family are going well.

 

Monty Oum drew my love and repect for him when I first saw his work in Red vs Blue Season 8. I literally didn't touch a video game since he died.

 

Monty was a huge inspiration for me. It was such shock to see him go so suddenly.

RIP Monty and Collin. <3

 

RIP Monty and Collin.
I was fans of both of them and they died so young.
They were a good set of youtubers and may they rest in peace <333333
