Hello friends.

I'm so sorry if you haven't heard already, but we received word that @MonsterShinkai has unfortunately passed away. (Source: Patreon)

There aren't words for how much he's done for this community, with his kindness, willingness to help, and absolutely gorgeous work. He will be missed.

I'm posting an event banner for the week because I honestly feel it's the least we can do. He deserves so much more. When our Discord found out and there was an outpouring of emotion and love and stories of how he'd helped and influenced so many creators. Feel free to post your own stories below, too. <3


Rest in peace, MonsterShinkai. We will miss you.

(Big thanks to @Zero Lambda for the banner image <3 )​

RIP , I have looked to his custom skins more often than not whenever I wanted a particular look of vibe. His were like no other. I did not have personal interaction with him but more than likely every creator here has been impacted by his contribution , whether it was lightrigs , looks , skins or other resources. A great loss.

Rest in peace Shinkai, my teacher, my mentor and most importantly my friend.

The times we have spend together laughing and bantering as a channel in your discord was some of the greatest internet moments to me personally and I will never forget it. I still remember you telling everyone if they wanted to summon me in the discord channel all they have to do was type the name or post a gif of a certain Kpop idol and I would appear instantly, Hahahaha.

You were a foodie for sure, our conversations in DM or your discord channel always ends up being about food somehow, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

You were the first creator I ever subbed to after discovering VaM and till date, I am still using your skin for almost 99% of all the saved looks i have. You are one amazing artist, always has been, always will be.

I truly miss you Shinkai and I hope wherever you are right now, you have endless food since you are a foodie and partying with pretty girls just like the ones you have created for VaM.
