Pet Portraits
I started painting digital portraits of my dogs to capture favorite moments in time. Before long, I had painted all of my friends pets as well. I am currently taking commissions for pet portraits to raise money for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society in memory of my mom. Please note that these are digital images and are not oil paintings. Each portrait is painted on using a stylus on a tablet.
Process
My process begins with you. Send me photo or two of your dog or cat, so I can discover your pet’s personality. Based on the photograph(s) I will create a custom digital portrait. Unlike digital portraits seen on other websites, my portraits are completely custom and unique. Every stroke is drawn using a stylus. I do not rely on filters or other methods of mass production to create my portraits. Additional examples of my work can be found on Instagram at @FurryEverAfter, my pet portrait page.
If you love it and do not have any revisions you will receive a high-resolution image. Use this image to order canvas prints, tote bags and pillows from a printer like Vistaprint.
You can request up to three rounds of revisions for each portrait without incurring an extra fee. Every effort will be made to make your pet portrait perfect. All portraits must be paid in advance. Portraits can not be returned.
Email me with any questions.
FAQs
Will the portrait be painted?
All portraits are created digitally using a tablet and stylus. I paint every stroke using painting software instead of a paint brush.
Can I send a photo with more than one pet?
Yes. I am more than happy to create portraits with two pets. The more the merrier. Please contact me via the form or email and I will be in touch.
How large of a photo do you need?
A photo taken with a smart phone should be fine. The higher the quality of photo and more detailed image, the better the end result will be. If you have any questions please reach out via the form or email and I will be in touch.
Can I post my portrait to Instagram?
Yes, please! Be sure to tag me @meglinkdesign so I can see your awesome post and feature your post on my Instagram Stories.
How long do the portraits take?
I try to finish the portraits as quickly as possible but since each portrait is an original, I need about a week to create a finished product.
