Commission

pet portraits

From photo to portrait

The process

beware of dog

  1. The original sign was doing its job. I just gave it a glow-up it didn't ask for but absolutely deserved.
  2. Same dog, different energy.

The process

the puppy at the vet

  1. This one was challenging, because the photo that was sent was the puppy at the vet, but I wanted to make it as dreamy and soft as possible.

The process

ellie

  1. This painting went through several color variations before everything finally felt right.
  2. I kept softening the expression and adjusting the colors to make the pug feel cuter and more lovable.
  3. The final piece became a dreamy mix of playful colors, texture, and personality.
