Custom Pet Portraits and Hand-Painted Art
I capture your pet's unique personality in custom digital art and acrylic paintings. No AI, just real hands and pure love.
This was such a wholesome project. The owner described Ollie as sweet and dreamy, so I painted him in a field of daisies with a butterfly on his nose. This video shows how I brought his gentle personality to life on canvas.
Sometimes a painting just doesn't feel right, so you have to start over. This video shows me redoing a Loki-themed pet portrait to better match my vision. It was extra work, but so worth it for the final result.
This digital illustration was the first in a series for a client's two cats, Marshmallow and Mozzarella. Here, one of the curious kitties is inspecting a vase of magnolia flowers.
A playful moment captured in this digital pet portrait. I imagined these two cats, Marshmallow and Mozzarella, lounging in a basket on a sunny morning.
Here is Mozzarella cuddling with her favorite fish toy. Capturing these small, personal moments is what makes a pet portrait so special. This was a digital piece done on my iPad.
A digital sketch I did for a birthday gift, featuring a family of fluffy cats. I love the feeling of comfort and love in this piece, with all the cats snuggling together.
A close-up of the fluffy cat family. I used a digital pencil style to create a soft, sketchy texture that feels warm and personal.
About this collection
Creating a pet portrait is a collaborative process where your stories matter more than just a reference photo. When you share details about your pet’s quirky habits—like how they tilt their head or their obsession with a specific toy—I work to weave those nuances into the final piece. Whether it’s a digital illustration for your phone wallpaper or a varnished canvas to hang on your wall, my goal is to capture the authentic 'feel' of your companion so it’s not just a drawing, but a true memory.
How We Start
It’s not just about a photo; it’s about the soul of your furry friend. We start by talking about their vibe. Is your dog a professional napper, a secret king, or a chaos-maker? You tell me the stories, and I translate them into art.
My Process: 100% Hand-Drawn
Everything you see here is created by hand. There are no AI shortcuts, just time and attention.
- Digital Portraits: I work on Procreate, layering strokes to capture fur textures and expressions. You receive high-resolution files (perfect for printing) and a 15-30 second timelapse video of me creating it, so you can see the magic happen in real-time.
- Acrylic on Canvas: If you want something classic, I paint on 8-12 inch canvases using premium acrylics. These are sealed with archival varnish to protect against dust and UV rays. Each piece comes hand-signed with a certificate of authenticity.
Choosing Your Format
- Digital Illustrations (₹2500–₹7500): Best for quick, versatile art. Great for custom phone backgrounds or shared social media memories.
- Acrylic Canvas (₹5500–₹12000): A timeless, physical heirloom. I use high-density brushwork to make sure your pet’s coat looks real to the touch.
Timeline & Care
Because I work slowly to get every detail right, digital commissions take about 7 to 14 days, while physical canvases take 3 to 5 weeks to account for painting, drying, and curing. I include pan-India shipping in the price, and I pack every canvas with enough care to survive the journey to your home.
