"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/i…

...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
