Pet Portraits - Blog Posts

I want to help all I can during the strike this time around, including donations! I'm wanting to do Pet Portraits for Palestine and donate all the money either to the Gaza Relief Fund, e-sims, or even individual Palestinians fleeing to Egypt. The price range right now will be $100-$200, but it might vary due to how much people are able to donate, and each portrait will be in this style

If it doesn't pan out, I'll just set up my regular commission rates and go from there. I'd appreciate it if yall spread this around!

I've added this type of painting to my Kofi!!! Depending on the size/portion of the animal drawn prices will vary, but a single headshot will run you $30 USD (accessories like a collar/bandana included)! You can find my Kofi HERE, but can also communicate with me through Tumblr/My Discord (Splasharooni)! Right now I only have examples for cats/dogs, but I'm open to all sorts of animal companions!!! I would love to try drawing snakes, hamsters, insect buddies, fish, and everything in between! I'm also open to adding little patterns to the backs of pieces in celebration of Halloween, like little pumpkins or skulls!!

**Required of Customer: A picture (or lots of pictures, the more the better!!) of the subject! It would be cool if the lighting was clean/clear, but I can work with all different types of lighting/adjust it accordingly!! I'm new to painting but eager to learn/grow!!**

Been trying to get back into painting because!!! I want to get back into touch with my technical skills. I love drawing cartoons it is my passion!! But I find myself missing the more classical forms of art, like the painting and charcoal work I focused on in school. I'm thinking of adding these pet portraits to my Commission rotation! I've had some friends say that 30$ is a good price but I work heavily from the references I'm provided so I'm not sure if that's the best one to stick with? Do you charge more or less for that?? I'm still not sure about the pricing of my cartoons, let alone works like this! If anyone out there in the art community has any opinions, tips, advice, etc I'd love to hear it! A portrait like one of these usually takes me between 2-3 hours, and I use a digital program (Clipstudio) along with a basic oil brush that came with it.
