Roma was a true inspiration, a great artist, and a warm-hearted, charismatic, loving friend. He will be missed dearly. Rest in peace Roma, my friend.

I'm not familiar with his work but he was obviously a very talented guy. RIP

Was he a member here?

Was he a member here?


Yes Dizo, he didn't post much, but his user name is creativicious. Despite not pimping himself out excessively, Roma was extremely talented and diverse and managed to find work based on his skill alone, having worked with many people in the Dallas and CA areas in the game and film industries. It was a long time desire of his to work with ILM, and he made that happen before the end.

:( My condolences to his loved ones. I didn't even really know of him, I think I saw his name occasionally. Hope he rests in peace.

I met Roma a few years back when he was just getting started in the industry. His raw talent and humble attitude were an inspiration for me then, Just as his art continues to inspire me and my work in the future.

My condolences to his family.

Rest in Peace.

It's hard to find appropriate words when you've never even heard of someone, and it's especially hard when his work is so inspiring. My condolences.

This is such sad news, I remember seeing his work here and I think on CG also, he's an amazing artist with flow and a since of ease even in his quick sketches. So sorry for his family, friends and the loss of Roma.

I remember working with Roma when we were working side by side at Ritual Entertainment, I've been very fortunate to work with this talented guy. Roma taught me so much and I value the time that we have worked together. Thanks for taking me under your wing Roma and being apart of my life as well as inspiring it. I'm so happy that you got your chance to work at ILM. For a couple of days now I've been meaning to get in touch with you and I've been thinking about you and I never thought I get in touch with you now like this...My deepest condolences to your family. I will miss you surely.

au revoir

Sweet guy - very sensitive. While he was at Lucasarts he was having some health issues. Always sucks when someone that young dies. Man, I don't know what else to say.
