painting example it's toothless lol


i wanna practice digital realism so give me your irl pets and i'll try to make a (somewhat) realistic painting of them. these are free! just make sure you read the info below b4 posting

⚠️please try to avoid...

• blurry photos
• bad lighting
• strange/difficult angles

⚠️rules/other info:

• if posting/sharing pls credit my instagram @mosshound
• NO ORIGINAL CHARACTERS! only irl pets
• it can be your friend's pet but get permission from them first pls
• what i have in mind is a bust/headshot of your pet with a solid color bg like the toothless painting. we'll see
• i'll be working on these on and off for a while
• i won't be going in order and i won't be doing everyone
• you can give me as many pets as you want, just make sure you fill out a new form for each

⚠️please read!

i will be trying to replicate your pets photo as exact as i can. same pose, lighting, colors, everything. the whole point of this is so i can practice realism/replication. there is no creative process involved. (as in these won't be in my typical art style, they're literally just paintings of your pets)

here's the form:

pet's photo: Snake!
species: California King Snake
name: Queeni
gender: female
tell me smthn abt em (optional): Queenie's the absolute sweetest snake you'll meet. She used to be a class pet and developed a lot of patience from it. She's got a super fun coloring compared to other Cali. Kings since she's more brown than black, and instead of having a white dot on the top of her head that most have, she's got a tiny black dot on her nose.

pet's photo: beardie!
species: bearded dragon
name: Simon
gender: male
tell me smthn abt em (optional): He's a cutie, not even a year old. He loves running around and usually ends up in the yarn closet or on some high space where he can judge my dog. This is probably the best picture I have of him that doesn't show his infection, but I don't know if the outfit will make it tricky to draw,,

This is such a cool idea! Good luck c:

update: i changed it to all pets bc i realize now that drawing a bunch of scales is just as difficult as drawing animals with fur lmao
