Speedpaint: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqJyhK…Please do not read the description unless you're highly disturbed by mentions of self harm/suicide.
But I and I'm sure a lot of other people who care about this certain person will highly appreciate if you take some time out of your life to pay respects to this highly influential man who saved many lives throughout his career with song.
Thank you.

A few years ago in 2013, I uploaded my first YouTube video. (at least involving the use of art) It was an ''AMV'' containing a song known as "What I've Done" dedicated to Scourge, a very well-known Warriors character that I'm sure the majority, if not every single one of you looking at this, know. However, the overall shittyness of that video where I basically ripped a bunch of pictures off of Google Images and slapped it into a music video type thing IS NOT what inspired me to redraw this thumbnail.
The very recent death of Chester Bennington of Linkin Park did.
I had stumbled upon one of my first Linkin Park songs through a few couple Warrior Cats AMV's and just by scrolling through YouTube to check out some new music I could listen to. At this time, my deviantART had JUST started as well as my new YouTube channel. This band is what truly inspired me to start making these kinds of videos about animated cats and such. I loved Numb. I loved Breaking the Habit. But I especially loved What I've Done it would seem, as that was my song choice for this old video I had made.
His death was just so untimely. On the 20th of July, I was just hanging out with some friends I hadn't for in a while, was when I found out. One of my buds had been scrolling through his feed and froze for a minute before showing us a post with a picture of Chester that had text saying that he committed suicide by hanging. I didn't believe it at first, I really didn't think in my lifetime I'd had to deal with the suicide of a member from a band that I loved to listen to.
This is just so devastating for the band, the lovers of their music, and most of all, Chester himself and his family. Nobody deserves to go through being suicidal OR having experienced someone they loved and were close to kill themselves. Sorry isn't even close to being good enough as a ways of paying my condolences to all this heartbreak...
Rest easy, Chester. This one's for you. It's not the best, but it's where it all started. Thank you.
