Portrait
Creating your pet’s portrait is a collaborative process, and we’re here to guide you through each step. From choosing the perfect photo to approving the final design, we’ll make sure everything’s clear, easy, and tailored to bring your pet’s personality to life in layered wood and paint. Whether you’re going for bold and blocky or richly detailed, we’ve got you covered — and we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Perfect
To capture your pet’s personality in layered detail, start with a clear, well-lit photo. Blurry or out-of-focus images make it tough to trace their true expression. Aim for a front-facing shot with their full face in view — eyes forward, ears visible, and their natural vibe shining through. Whether they’re stoic, silly, or full of attitude, the angle you choose helps us bring that spirit to life.

blocky $150
detailed $200
Both styles offer something special — it’s all about what suits your taste. The blocky option leans bold and graphic, with clean shapes and defined colors that give a playful, stylized look. What you see in the proof will closely match the final result. On the other hand, the fully detailed version brings out subtle textures, shadows, and hand-painted depth. It’s ideal if you want your pet’s portrait to feel lifelike and layered with personality. The proof for this style gives a basic preview, while the final piece reveals the full nuance and richness once painted.
Each portrait is approximately 10in x 11in. Larger sizes can be accommodated for an added fee.

Proof
Once the design is ready, we’ll send over a proof for your approval. This preview shows how your pet’s portrait will come together — with line work indicating each distinct wood layer and painted section. On the back, you’ll find our logo, your pet’s name, and a custom message if you’d like to add one. The proof includes a simplified color map of the final piece. If you’ve chosen the blocky style, what you see will closely match the final result. If you’ve picked the detailed style, the proof offers a base color guide while the final product will include more nuanced shading and hand-painted depth.
