OK So in the spirit of the holidays (and a desperate need for good examples =P) I am offering a slot or two for a free pet portrait.

Here's how it works: I need several pics of the pet from different angles (unless it's a solid color, standard coloring etc) and a cute story about it's personality. You can submit multiple pets, however I am unlikely to do a multi-pet portrait unless it REALLY strikes my fancy.

I will be choosing as many as 3 or 4 people (might just be one though, depends on the time it takes me) and will do up a pet portrait free-of-charge. Art will be done traditionally but the winner gets a digital copy. I will be choosing based on a number of factors (clarity of pet in photos, interesting personality, breed I haven't drawn yet, etc. When I am done I will say-so)


Please note: if it's generic enough, I have automatic permission to sell the original and/or make prints--this is non-negotioble and if you have a problem with this rule then do not participate. I am upfront about this, there's no surprise. if you want the original then let me know and we can work something out.


You can post links to the pics in a comment here from photobucket, FA, a livejournal entry etc.

Please do not PM entries.
