My Story:
A few months ago, my cat Bones died. It hit me hard, because we hadn't had him for all that long, and he was so young (only three).
He loved keeping me company, while I was outside, and he was so vocal, and talkative. I have a bench that I sit on, while outside, smoking a cigarette, and Bones loved sitting next to me, keeping me company, or just chatting away... I miss him so much!
What I Have In Mind: I want to have a memorial bench made that will last longer than a wooden one. I want his birth and death date, along with his name... but what I really want, is a good picture of him, to go in the center. It will be sealed, so it doesn't get destroyed by weather.... What I don't have is a decent picture of him. I have lots and lots of different angles of him, but nothing really good. He was THE HARDEST animal to photograph. I don't think he liked cameras.
What I Am Asking: I need someone to take several photos I have of Bones and create a really nice drawing of him. Painted or whatever. I'd like it in color, because I'd like his harness to be visible as well. What I'll do is send you all the good shots I have of him, and you create a drawing of him with him either sitting with his chest facing forward and his head turned to the side (I'll post a picture of Ryuu in the same pose, as an example), or of him facing the right. (sort of like a side profile view of him). Example of
what I mean by chest forward and head turned:
Anything Else:
I don't expect this to be done for free (it would be nice, though lol), but I understand that these things take time, and energy, and skill. If you are interested, please post here, along with a run down of prices you'd charge. Also, if you are interested, please include a link to your portfolio. I need to see previous works, before I can agree to this. I hate to say that, but this project really means a lot to me, and I want it to look nice.
Specs:
No bigger or smaller than 10x11. it doesn't need a background. just Bones himself. included in this post is a link to my facebook album, that contains Bones, so you can have an idea of what he looks like, and what his harness looks like, ect. (I made a bracelet out of his harness and tag. If you need anything else, other than what's provided, please feel free to ask me.
