Reference Photos

Your portrait is based right from your reference photo. Clear, well-lit photos taken at your pet’s eye level allow me to capture their unique features, colouring, and expression as accurately as possible.

Please choose photos that:

  • Are sharp, high resolution, and in natural lighting.
  • Clearly show your pet’s face and eye colour.
  • Accurately represent their fur colour and markings.
  • Are not heavily filtered or taken from a distance.

Please note that your portrait is created based on the reference photos provided. While I work carefully to create a faithful likeness, I cannot recreate features that are unclear, hidden, or not visible in the images. For the most accurate portrait, please send photos that best represent how your pet looks in real life.

Only submit reference photos that truly resemble your pet. Your portrait will be created based on the photos you provide, so images that distort your pet’s colouring, proportions, or features due to lighting, filters, grooming, or camera angles may result in a portrait that differs from your expectations.

If there is a specific photo you would like used, please mention that in your email. As well as mention if there is a specific photo you wouldn't want used and is just being sent for colouring.

 If a good reference photo cannot be supplied, I reserve the right to cancel your order.

Side profiles and straight on pictures work great! These are all examples of acceptable photos.

Photos must be bright and in a natural lighting.

Photos taken from above or below are unfortunately not great. The proportions appear to be off and don't look great afterwards.

Photos also need to be of good lighting to see your pets details. Photos overly edited with filters will change the true colour of your pets fur.

Photos of old photos will not be accepted! Unfortunately it is too hard to see the pets details.
