Welcome back to the Wednesday Mash-up folks!

This week, we take a look at that eighties classic, Ghostbusters. There are no clever names this time around. The idea is that the Animus cast have opened their own Ghostbusters franchise in Bree.

Before they can bust ghosts, the gang has to find them. Fortunately, Cyran has built a PKE meter attachment for his wrench! Normally, when I draw costumes and equipment I find a reference photo online, but I thought I had a pretty good idea of what the PKE meter looked like so I drew it from memory. It turns out I had the Real Ghostbusters version in mind rather than movie version. I think the idea gets across though.

Once they Cyran gets a fix on the ghost’s location, he or the Big Oonch can use their spectral goggles to see the target.

Then, it’s up to Todrick to zap the ghost with his proton pack!

Once the ghost has been weakened by the proton beam, Nektara can use a ghost trap on it. Do you think she’s displaying the appropriate amount of nervousness?

If the mood gets too dark, Sass can use some mood slime to try to lighten things up. Best to warn a fur first or the mood will sour even more.

Deema’s ghost is the unofficial mascot of the Ghostbusters. She loves ice cream cones. When I was first sketching her, I tried adding more detail to make her look a little more like Slimer, but the result was too creepy-looking so I scaled it back. With Slimer not having any clothes, I used some more shading than I usually do to add some texture to the drawing (pardon the pun). It makes her look much rounder I think.

Although he looks really friendly, Barnaby, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Bear is one of the Ghostbusters must destructive foes. That’s what happens when you’re as tall as a skyscraper. Stay Puft doesn’t have much more clothing and he’s all white, so I used some light blue shading to liven up the picture. I like the effect it gives.

Much more sinister-looking is the painting of Richo the Carpathian. He needs to inspire fear and anger to weaken the bond that keeps him trapped in the painting…or something like that. Drawing and colouring the whole painting was something new for me. I think it turned out alright if I do say so myself.

I almost forgot Zoë when I was drawing these and when I remembered her I was short on ideas. Finally, I decided to put her in the Ghostbusters commercial. Know that she’s ready to believe you!

So that’s it for this week! Come back for more mash-ups next Wednesday! Until then, may bustin’ make you feel good and remember to never cross the streams!
