On Monday september 17th, my little brother, companion, best friend and dog passed away. Wolfy was 16 years old, and was suffering from an encroaching brain tumor. There was nothing more we could do but ease his suffering.... He lived a long and happy life, and up until he died my life revolved entirely around him. Now I feel like the only thing I can do is try to live life to the fullest without him, and to use my art to show everyone how wonderful he was.

I started this drawing a few days before his death, with our past childhood adventures in the Colorado Rockies in mind. When we were young, we conquered the forest together. I decided to take it to finish when I came home from the vet that day without him. Art therapy I guess you can call it.
I guess this is me as some kind of dog horse (don't know why) if anyone is curious what the heck kind of creature this is. And Wolfy is an American Eskimo dog, with a little sword!
I'm going to miss him intensly, he can never be replaced... Done in watercolour, coloured pencil, graphite and acrylic paint on smooth bristol.

their merry expressions and the light-hearted motive first made me chuckle, then I read your description, and suddenly felt like an asshole...
I know how you feel. 12 years ago our family dog passed away; I virtually grew up with her at my side, and she was like a little sister to me. I couldn't stand accompanying her to the vet, which still bothers me a lot.
two years later I tried to resurrect her as an anthro german sheperd, and found out my memories of her appearance were fading. and found out we never shot any picture of her in 14 years...
I still miss my Anka.

I hadn't thought I was ever going to bother commenting on FA again, but your loss of your dear, darling companion and this beautiful piece in tribute compelled me. The design of yourself as a horse-dog (horg? dorse?) is really neat, and you did an especially excellent job on the pine needles. My condolences for the passage of your friend, and thank you for sharing a part of your heart through your artwork.
My deepest condolences on your loss. When you've grown up with a canine companion, insinuating them as another facet of life, it's especially hard to find them not there any longer. I should know, having been 10 when my own pup needed to be given his rest..
If you intended to capture an image of happier, footloose and adventurous times, I'd say it worked. It's something else you can immortalize Wolfy with. :)

Unfortunately, I can really relate to this piece. My dog Ben passed away last January at 11, he had been fighting heart disease for a few years and his heart finally gave out. I'd had him for so long my habits and routines had come to revolve around him, so I know what's it's like to lose a pet you're that close to. To be honest I almost thought of him as my child.
But I'm sure that Ben and Wolfy are having a great time and getting to know each other in doggy heaven. We can't replace them, but we can keep them in our hearts and memories.
