Frequently asked questions

What photo of my pet works best?

Eye level, in good daylight, with the whole head sharp and the face turned toward the camera. Markings need to be clearly visible — a photo where your pet is half in shadow loses exactly the details that make the portrait theirs rather than a generic animal.

Will it keep my pet's markings?

That is the priority for this direction, since markings and expression are what make a pet portrait recognisable. Check them specifically in the result — a misplaced patch or the wrong eye color is immediately obvious to the owner even when the artwork is otherwise lovely.

Can I get a portrait of a pet who has died?

Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons people use this. Old or low-quality photos are often all that remain, so use the sharpest you have. Where detail is missing it will be interpreted rather than known — check the result carefully against your memory of them.

Can I put my pet in a costume or a scene?

Yes — uniforms, hats, painted-portrait settings and seasonal scenes all work well and are popular for gifts. Keep the animal's face and markings faithful and let the costume carry the humour; the joke stops working if the pet is no longer identifiably yours.
