Process
If you are interested in commissioning a custom portrait, please email littleprune37@gmail.com with the following:
A bio of your pet. I think about their personality as I work, what they mean to you and the stories you've shared.
At least one great quality, hi-resolution photo. It's helpful to have multiple photos at different angles in order to sculpt them in an accurate way.
Your choice of background color from a selection of samples.
What size of portrait you want (11.5" x 11.5" & 9"x 9" are the two basic sizes I offer but custom sizes are also available)
I normally create a digital mock up with your chosen background color and my composition. Once you are happy with the digital version I begin needle felting your portrait!
Photo Recommendations
Try to make sure your photos have the following:
150 resolution or higher.
Natural sunlight is ideal and light shade is best.
Whatever angle shows off the best aspect of your pet is a great angle!!! Creative and fun results will come from playing with this, so please consider breaking some traditional portrait rules.
Make sure the focus is clear and your pet's face is the majority of the photo.
Avoid heavy shadows, harsh sun, low light and grainy (lo-res) photos.
Multiple pets
This can be an option is entirely up to my discretion. Fees are charged per pet.
