Monty Oum’s colleagues at Rooster Teeth have shared a special tribute to the artist behind Haloid, Red vs. Blue, RWBY and more who recently passed away on February 1, 2015.
Rooster Teeth’s The Know, also reported on the news of the talented animator’s tragic death at age 33:
An anonymous fan also scattered rose petals outside Rooster Teeth’s offices on Tuesday:
Monty Oum was the creator, director, writer, animator and a voice actor of RWBY. He worked for Rooster Teeth Productions, where he originally started animating the popular Machinima series Red vs. Blue in its eighth season.
He had also worked on several individual fan projects, such as Dead Fantasy and Haloid, although he had stated that his main goal was to create an original series, which came to pass with RWBY. He voiced Lie Ren.
