That beginning passage was an amazing metaphor for the profound affect Monty has had on all of us. May ever creative mind have the drive he had.
Do you think you can tell me a bit about your novel and when you plan to release it? I might go for it, being an avid reader and aspiring writer myself.

Thank you, that means a great deal...
As for the story:
"There is a land known as Grindivasan, an endless plane of existence set below the starry sea of eternity. In the beginning the land was in frozen darkness, unlit by all save for the stars in the sky and ruled by great and ancient beings, their names and deeds long lost to the sands of time. Humanity lived as animals, far below the surface and prayed upon by monsters in the deep and surface alike, holding desperately onto life in an unforgiving world. Things may well have remained this way forever more had it not been for the God's War.
Great quakes shook the snow-strewn land and great crags and fissures split the ice and stone as those above waged a furious war that shook the heavens. For those below, it seemed as though the end to their pitiful existence had come, but instead, something quite unexpected happened; silence fell...
The race of men, forgotten by the carnage which had ravened the world above, made their first tentative steps on the surface world, a world now bright, lit by a new star on the distant horizon, a star which drove the monsters away.
With the peace afforded to them, man grew strong, kingdoms were formed, great cities raised from stone to bask in the light of the now named Everstar.
As time passed and mankind grew stronger, they slowly begin to forget their past, so much has drifted into myth and song, who can say what is true anymore? Perhaps none of it ever was, instead it was simply the rantings of a young and fearful people who had lived for to long in the darkness... or maybe it is all terribly real.
Β Mankind has become the rulers of their own destiny, or so they believe, for it is now the forth age;a time of heroes, of ancient tales and a forgotten past resurfacing but more than that; This is a time of legends."
I'd ask that you forgive the rather rough bit above, I'm writing this far later that I should.
As to when the first novel is to be finished... I honestly don't know; between always having more of a world to forge and university I wouldn't be able to give you a time, all I can say is: When it's ready.

Β Β Trust me, the phrase "better late than never" definitely applies to things like this. This was wonderfully done, and i'm glad you got it out. Even though i only got to know his life after he was gone, he still inspired and motivated me to change my life and my path greatly, in ways i don't really think i would have otherwise. I am and will forever be exceptionally grateful to him for his last gift to a person he never even knew existed. I hope to one day relay to him just how grateful i am for what he helped me do. Sorry to go on a tangent on your artworkΒ Β . Anyways, thank you for this piece, and I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors friend. Can't wait to see what you bring out next. Β Β Β Β Β

I thank you kindly, barring any unforseen circumstances the first of the novel series should be finished during my last year of university.
Unfortunately my artwork is sporadic at the best of times so I can't really say when I will have a chance to make more though I have been thinking of putting previews and snippets of my novel up on here so perhaps that can fill the long stretches between pictures.

Aye, he has left a lasting impression on a great many of us.
It is good to know that his legacy is one of inspiring a new wave of creators, not many can claim such a feat.

This is an awesome, fitting tribute. You shouldn't be regretting this wasn't done earlier, I am still in the midst of my second Monty tribute planning a car designed to be Lie Ren, I never wrote stories before I saw RWBY so I wrote a little tribute myself. Β Β

I'll keep an eye out for that car design, I would very much like to see it.
