Description
"Y'know, I shoulda been your father. ...I mean I coulda been."******
I drew this as somewhat of a tribute (although I'm a bit embarrassed to say that when it's a picture of cartoon dogs...), and also to spread the word for the campaign in Hank Deutschendorf's name:
bbrfoundation.donordrive.com/iβ¦
...I can't believe the suffering that man went through, and I had no idea that was going on until now. I wish they could have found a cure quick enough to save him, but for now, we can just hope to save someone else from this in the future.
******

This came out so well and so quickly...I started finishing all these "doggos" in an attempt to get faster and better with my art, but I didn't expect to see progress on BOTH fronts so FAST! This is three characters and a background, and it took less than...I'll say...15 hours. For me, that's outstanding!
The only issue I have with it, really, is the composition. This kind of "fell together", so it wasn't properly planned out, and Peter's stupid leg shifts the whole scene too far to the right for my comfort, but whaddaya gonna do, right? Other than that, I'm so happy with this. <3
Edit: I almost forgot! I had asked for SuperStinkWarrior 's help on a different drawing, but his sketches for that also helped me to draw Dana's face here! Thanks, dude!!! I owe ya!
I didn't want to make this piece sad. When an actor dies, I've recently realized that like to keep that sadness separate from the memories of their character. As long as the character lives on (and even if the character dies eventually), there is a kind of immortality in that, and I don't want to tarnish it. I've done it in the past and it never felt right, and I think that's why.
Normally my art is posted 3 days earlier on my Patreon, but this is an exception, since I want to spread the word for their campaign.
I hope everyone enjoys this, and that it gets attention for the cause. <3

And I will say, this is such a sweet tribute. May he rest in peace.

I'm glad to hear you say that, I'm always a little weird about drawing tributes, especially since I draw dogs. Thank you.

I would totally LOVE to adopt doggo Dana; she's that beautiful!

Me too! (A dog based on Sigourney Weaver? Hell yeah!)

Same here! And she deserves love. D;

As I said on Patreon, the circumstances that Hank went throught when it came to his condition are rather upsetting honestly. Just going through all that just sounds absolutely heartwrenching and is just depressing to hear that he was going through all that honestly. I'm glad that his brother opened up a Gofundme page to help spread awareness of his brother's condition. I wish him well.Β
I love how touching this drawing is as it really shows how close the characters were. I liked how Ghostbusters 2 expanded upon the relationship between Dana and Peter. If only Ghostbusters 3 expanded more upon their relationship....oh well.

Yeah, I had never imagined such a medical disaster as what he was going through. Physical pain is bad enough, but to have your brain turn against you...God, it's the worst thing I can imagine. I'm hoping they make new discoveries in that field so that others don't have to suffer that way...
Thank you! I liked that, too, although Dana and Peter's relationship frustrates me. xD I went into that in the description for Dana's doggo on here. It's like...she can't get him to stay with her, but she also can't get him completely out of her life! It's very emotionally tiring, I'm sure.
The IDW comics add a bit more to their relationship, you get to see where they're at after movie 2 (at least, in THAT universe anyway), but, no spoilers or anything, it's still just as frustratingly strained as ever. Peter, be a good boy! Dana needs you!

Wow, thank you for posting this piece in memory of Hank. I think now he's better off than any of us, but I'll be praying for him and his family.
As for the piece itself, I really like it. Especially I love Peter's pose and his tender expression. How sweet!

I sure hope so. After what he went through, he deserves that.
Thank you so much! I am happy you noticed such details, because I was trying for that.

Oh God... my heart. No ToT That's so sad he passed away so young and tragically! I had no idea about any of that until now!Β
You did such a good job on this drawing Nyaasu, it's so sweet and beautiful

Same here! I heard that he had died, but later when I found out the details, it bothered me a lot. I can't imagine much worse for someone to have to go through...
Thank you very much.

Oh I had no idea about the actor thats so terribleΒ
This is such a sweet and fitting tribute though. I like the thing about keeping the character away from the sadness of what happened, and this really is so adorable and heartwarming
also yay Dana doggo!

Yeah...I found out pretty quick thanks to Twitter, but didn't know the actual details until later. What a horrible, horrible thing to go through. My stomach hurts just thinking about it...
Thank you very much. 
Other people may see it differently, though, of course.
Hahaha, once I get done with my messages I'm going to post her "Doggo" design here - it was done before this, but I posted out-of-order!

Oh yeah I can't imagine, its so terrible.
I feel like sad tributes can be good for like... expressing feelings I guess? And there are some actors that are like inextricably connected to their characters, like Leia and Carrie Fisher so it makes sense that people might want to involve them in a more emotional way. I mean art is supposed to evoke emotion and all, but they can be kinda depressing too. I'd much rather remember them with tributes that remember them in a happy way. I guess it depends on how its done and the circumstances but I do like the idea of characters being a way of keeping them 'immortal' in a way its sweet.

I think that's kinda part of it. Someone who isn't me might be able to make a sad one that feels okay or right, but when I do it, it doesn't, so I didn't. xD
Like that Mel Blanc one I referred to - I think that's genius, and also sad. But I couldn't have done it!

Aww, You colored it! It looks absolutely adorable!

x3 I was hoping you'd like it! (Even if that's not quite "your" Peter!)

It's adorable.Β The whole thing is just precious!!Β XD

Aww! Lovely! What a cute family! Looks they 're so happy. Adorable work!

Thank you very much, Sheltie!!!

never mind the fact that having pretty much any Sigourney Weaver character as your mother would totally suck...

Is that so?! I know in the Ghostbusters universe, Dana is constantly being dragged back into supernatural issues she REALLY, REALLY doesn't want to be involved in, and she's worried mainly about Oscar when it happens. But I didn't know her characters elsewhere had bad luck like that, too!
The poor thing tries so hard, though! D;
Dana really is...what I think they call...a cinnamon roll.
She deserves peace and happiness and she never gets either.

Oh man, I read that article on what he went through and it sounds so terrible.
So sweet of you to draw this to raise awareness though. <3 Very well done and cute too!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah...I heard that he'd died, and I figured it was the usual...a stroke, or sickness...something. Something almost..."acceptable".
But when I read about it in-depth, it REALLY bothered me. I had no clue he was going through any of that, never would have thought it, and the thought that other people are going through similar things now bothers me, too. That's just...horrible.
Thank you! I hope it does something, even just a little, but also I'm proud of it on a technical level, I think it's the best thing I've ever done!!
