this is just beautiful the video is so touching.

this is awesome man

Thanks. -.-

Props to you, good sir!

I suspect this will go viral easily! =)

Lovely work

Soo wonderful. A glorious tribute to one very missed dragon.

Defiantly admire the skill and patience put into both music video and art, I hope this will be very well revived c:

You're the one that composed this? It's really, really well done. I like it a lot, thanks for sharing it.

Amazing, it is simply amazing. It shows so much passion and dedication you put into these pieces of art. You did an amazing job, Athus would be proud of

Well, here come my tears...

Very neat! gotta say! don't see these sorts of multimedia, blend, and mixed arts put together.

This is enormously epic. Thanks! And it definitely gives certain inspiration on things. Man this is amazing.

I have a vague feeling of sadness even if I didn't know the guy. Great work!

An so the crying begins again....he was one of the first artists I ever saw drawing draggies. He is one who got me into the fandom in the first place. A great influence, even though he never knew me. I respect him greatly! Thank you Athus for the years of memories and for getting me where I needed to be to meet my mate. Be is wonderful, and I would have never met him if it were not for your art Athus. May your wings lift you ever higher, brother dragon, upon the winds of good fortune so that you may be taken to a better place where your dreams may come true, as mine have. Thank you!

He will always live in the love and inspiration that he brought to us... And that inspiration will continue through eternity. If you look closely at the world you'll find him looking right back at you c:

it is impressive how people, even though you never met them, still have an influence on people after such a "long" time. I mean itis one thing for related people to not forget their beloved, but when mere strangers keep you in mind for so long, you truly left an impact on the world... even I, who never spoke asingle word to him, have his work in mind every now and then.

I can just say that with this, like many other works I found, you truly found a way to honor his legacy

This is just.. amazing. Both the music, and this bit of artwork.

Beautiful piece, beautiful music and wonderful video. I still miss him, especially when watching this. You're amazing.

i barely knew him either, but, how he explained about otherkin, and how he is a dragonkin made me understand and awaken
you know, my game project is still long until i can make it, your work inspired me to make an animation, that, i can do, time to take out my flash skills for an animation in homage for Athus

Amazing video and art my friend

This is saddening, but inspirational as well. Memoriable work mate!

Incredible... this bring tears to my eyes

R.I.P., buddy.

I.. cannot stop smiling. Thank you so much for sharing this <3

Just noticed the dates in the description.. :')

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I have no words...only tears :(

I'm sorry for your tears

Its okay, they help me. Thank you for this wonderful tribute <3 I have his favorite badge (the picture Narse drew that you posted at the end) tattooed on my right calf... Sometimes I catch a glympse and cry, but most the time I am just thankful to have had a friend as amazing as him.

He will always live in the love and inspiration that we gained from him, and will never forget c:

100% agree :) He lives on through all the lives he touched

This... This is fitting for someone like Athus... He has inspired me as well, I am learning 3D slowly, teaching myself to draw as well. Hoping one by I can be as good as you are. You are an inspiration to me as well. I'm hoping soon I will have a PC that I can fully use just for 3D and art.. This image is perfect for him.

Holy shit this is incredible!

I don't know for what i cried the most: the video, the pic, or the sonata. You'd better to not get your ass here in France my friend, cuz i will hug you to death ^^. You know I watch you
for a long time, and i can see how you improved and evolved through time, and i'm even sure Athus saw it, nevermind where he is. After him, Narse, you're among the few ppl who continue to inspire me. You made something strong here, very.He would be proud of what you've done for him. Stay as you are bud, you're on the top now *glomps at LE Evalion, and use a hugs spam attack*.

In the memory of the guy who kicked my ass and convinced to continue to write. Thanks Bryan, i'll never forget your words, never.

Bah! I was fine up till that last part when you showed the shout from him. Then the waterworks started going. :P Damn blurry screen. It's sad when a genuinely good person is taken too soon. But seriously what I enjoyed most about this wasn't just the simple pic paying tribute to him but rather the journey in it's creation. It may not quite be like a tutorial either but one paying mind to the steps can get a general idea of the kind of work that can go into a project. I kinda feel bad I still have yet to finish my tribute to him I sketched up and has just been sitting in a sketchbook waiting to be finished. Maybe it's time I knuckle down and finish...

Thank you for sharing this with us. :)

It's one hell of an emotional ride, but in the end you feel a sense of completion c: It seems now both athus and I can rest in peace, after all this work.

Beautiful picture :)

This is amazing!!!

That's a hell of a thing. Very well done. He'd be super thrilled.

... but would probably complain about there not being enough penis, knowing him :p

Well, I did almost forget the radioactive genital herpes xD

But there's lots of environment porn so I guess that counts x3

Although I never had the opportunity to meet Athus, I know he had a wonderful heart and how much of inspiration he was to this community.

This is very beautiful, Thank you for sharing this with us.

May Athus Rest In Peace.

Now i feel just horrible all over because I didn't get to meet the guy, once. Hm, well It's best not to dwell on ghosts, right? I mean, I explore shells, where people used to be long ago, I'm pretty sure I can handle it :P

Though, this is really a beautiful thing, and you should be proud you made it this far. I can't say I know many people who would do something like this, and I'm pretty honored to have gotten to know you, even as little as I do, I still couldn't be happier.

I didn't know the guy at all either, only through a couple of notes, but this year he really inspired me from what he left behind, so I had to dwell. One half of me was depressed and the other was so happy and so powerfully motivated, now I can only be so happy that this is finished and hopefully do what was intended, inspire people c:

beautiful, made me want to go back to piano...
And also made me sad I didn't know this guy better...

Words cant describe what this means to me. I miss Athus so much and truly want to thank you for this, for everything * hugs*

I hope it brought more feelings of happiness <3

As long as we remember Athus, he will never be lost.
He's still there, in our hearts.

Evalion - We all have to thank you for this masterpiece, that remembers us to Athus.

This resonated so very strongly with me, in particular the beautiful composition. I'll be carrying that with me on my MP3 player wherever I go...always sure to bring a smile, peace, and inspiration. Thank you so much for this, it struck a powerful chord and brought back so many wonderful memories. Through others, we live on. <3 Forever inspired, forever remembered.

=)

So beautiful Truly, beautiful..

Do you actually play piano or? lol

yes, indeed I do

Dude, this is freaking epic, worth all of the work that you put into it! <3

There's nothing more profond that can be added to this.

This is really beautiful...the amount of effort you put into the art and production both... It's a very wonderful thing you've done here. <:3

This is just truly amazing and beautiful at the same time

Athus

A peaceful pic. Just a bit lonely…

truly fantastic v3v

Watching the video, I couldn't hold my tears back. We all miss him, it's truly great to see something like this made to honor him. You are extremely talented and I think you will make a big impact in this world for sure. Thank you for sharing this wonderful, wonderful thing with all of us. I don't really know you personally, but there is no doubt in my mind, you are a fantastic person.

Beautiful. Everything from the audio to the ending tribute is masterfully done. I am at a loss for words. This man lived and loved what he did. Though I never met him, I can feel that thanks to you Evalion. Truly a labor of love.

May he forever rest in peace.

I'm going to acknowledge the Athus, but focus on the scenery:
That's some freaky as shit climate overlaps to be able to have a dead forest, a desert, and a stream of mountain melt-water all withinspitting distance of each other. As a geologist, I am now VERY intrigued!

A challenge to draw all elements, as he liked all of nature, as well as a touch of surrealism c:

I am so proud of you for finishing this, Evalion. I admire the immense amount of work you put in, the emotion behind the brush strokes, and seeing it all come to fruition has been gratifying.

The music is beautiful. I wish I could compose like you. I'm sure it must have been very cathartic to finish this incredibly huge project and I hope it only energizes you for more to come.

<3

This is just wonderful. I wish I had more words to say. He is missed and loved still <3 Thank you.

Simply amazing, and a true inspirational piece to how he himself was. Keep that fire within you going, it's one in a million.

For he's in Rakuen.

Ah, now I know why you fascinate me so much: You combine multiple talents. I have seen a lot of stuff called art in the last 10 years, but someone like you, who combines his own music, pictures and skills in editing videos into such a marvellous piece like this one deserves the title artist in every way. Well, I think that this submission is just genuine beautiful and as many others here it seems, I did not know very much about Athus, but you certainly brought him closer to everybody.
Truly well done.

This is an amazing tribute to such a wonderful person.
The video was great, brought a tear to my eye.

This is really nice, thank you. When I get a chance I will look at the video you made, but I don't have it in me to do so tonight.

if i had powers i would bring him back to life im a god like draggy btw

Absolutely fantastic work.

The song is incredible. Keep up the amazing artistry and musical compositions.

so much love and beauty in all this <3 ^.=.^

Beautiful! And I watched the vid, very cool :3 you live in such a beautiful area couldn't help but notice it was to honor someone? Did someone die?

Athus is a peculiar fella. Not many of us would be mourned with piano sonatas and formal elegies, but…

In spite of this, I think this would sound amazing covered by Albannach.

The weird thoughts that come to you while your mind wanders after midnight.

this comment might be a drop in the ocean, but the video was stunningly beautifull!

I was lucky enough to meet him and play some games with him on Steam. Even as a noob in the fandom he was open to making friends with me. I was honored to know him briefly and I will keep close the lessons he taught me. No matter how big you get or how popular you are, make time for the little people. You hold the power to inspire. Thank you Athus.

That video left me astonished to tears. I am saddened that I never got to know him. If I had known what I was missing, as well as what awaited, perhaps I wouldn't have been as cowardly as to not share a few nice words with him. Now I look up to those like you who express these feelings. I find myself in them, and realize how many others have funneled our gratitude and inspiration into memorial works. I hope one day to add my own tribute. Whatever it will be, it will have to be made by myself. The picture masks the emotions behind it, and I'm sure even the video itself masks the true emotions of the entire community. No works could ever express the weight. But for what they're worth, these fragments are still enough to shake me to tears. What you have made is beautiful.

I too will remember him, and dare to dream.

I still miss him...

I have a couple books he gave me. They always make me think of him. :<

So glad I saved the original and the documentary preview. <3
