Rest in peace, TDR

[Ash]

It's not often that these kinds of threads are made or posted, and indeed it's not really something you ever want to have to post. But we're not afforded the luxury of choice in these situations. I'm posting this because recently a member of our community passed away.

Tudor Golu was a very talented graphic designer and animator. A very good musician, an awesome addition to our community and most of all a great friend. On Tuesday, he succumbed to burn injuries sustained during a fire at a nightclub in Romania. There's some more information here, but I'm not fluent enough in Romanian to attempt a good enough translation. If you're able to provide a good write up, please get in touch.

Keep his family, friends, and memory in your thoughts.

RIP, Tudor Golu.

It's been a while since I had to do this in writing.

Good bye, TDR. We never crossed ways, but your art, music, and clearly vibrant personality, definitely left its mark on many.


My deepest condolences to everyone affected.

Rest in Peace; Tudor Golu. You wont be forgotten!

He was a great, super-talented guy. It's incredibly sad that he's passed, and more so I can't help but be angry at the situation. Such a waste of life. The death count in that fire is up to 51. This same exact incident has occurred before multiple times, and in all cases it's a matter of huge negligence on part of the club owners.

I hadn't spoken to TDR in quite awhile, but he was a guy that taught me a lot of what I know about more advanced modeling techniques. I owe a lot of my progression in digital art to him.

Wow. When I came across the thread title, I was really hoping the TDR you were referring to wasn't our TDR. This is absolutely terrible. He was incredibly talented--it was truly a pleasure seeing his amazing works over the years (as well as his cheeky posts).

Rest in peace TDR and those who died in the fire.

The pain of the burn before death is unbearable. Hopefully, our prayers will guide you to path of light. Farewell...

(BTW, what about his account?)

BTW, what about his account?

His account will remain as a record of his time here.

I will raise a glass to his memory this evening.

Such a sad loss, I never directly knew him either, but I loved his style and his persona.
I always imagined he would become one among the great artists of the 21st century.

My thoughts and condolences goes out to all who knew him.

 

[Roland]

Master, why.. I love you so much for your gruesome inspiration :'(

Rest in peace, Tudor.

Phew that hit really hard. I didn't know him personally either but admired his work and was always eager to check his thread for new stuff. He just seemed like a firm and steady man with the creative mind of a freak, and that was something I really liked. I always thought that the drawings in my school books were to look like his, if I could actually draw good.

Rest in piece.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Wow, I just heard of that fire in the media recently and now I see this.

My condolences to his family.

It's a real tragedy that stuff like this can still happen in our modern, safety obsessed world.

Rest in peace, Tudor.

that's actually a pretty good bye song

rest in peace TDR.

 

[Squiggy]

My deepest condolences to his family - may your beloved find his peace...
The little I knew about him doesn't warrant me to write a longer post so I'll have to keep it like that, sorry.

People should use his singular skin resource in remembrance of him!

 

[Avex]

Wow I remember seeing TDR around before I was ever really active. This is really sad :c

TDR actually created an awful lot, but his main repo lies over at WC3C. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on the sarcasm front this time though...

I'd just like to say this in his memory because I know a lot more details about this fire than most.

The night club party was actually an album release show for a Metalcore band called "Goodbye to Gravity" and the only reason that fire happened is because the owner of the night club paid off the prime minister of Romania to ignore safety precautions. Pyrotechnics from the show ignited, over 200 people were burned and three members of the band are dead as well.

The reason I'm bringing this up is because TDR's death wasn't in vein, the Prime Minister resigned and was arrested along with multiple of the night club owners for basically causing the deaths of over 50 people and injuries of over 200. There's a huge political uprising in Romania now because of this.

It might bring solace to whoever may read this thread that the ones responsible for this tragedy have been arrested.

because the owner of the night club paid off the prime minister of Romania to ignore safety precautions

Romania must be a very small country if you need to pay off the Prime Minister... Usually it is just the mayor or local police chief.

Thank you for the words, BlackEnvyX, I really hope you're right.

 

[BlackEnvyX]

Thank you for the words, BlackEnvyX, I really hope you're right.

I really hope I am to, and I really hope the family members, friends and loved ones of those affected are going to be okay. I also hope the survivors are able to get the treatment they need.

 

[Devine]

Rest in peace, TDR.
Can we start a hall of fame for this guy?

 

[BiroN]

May he rest in peace.
