Because I don't have enough to do at the moment ;D Since Christmas is coming up I wanted to try to catch some holiday traffic and get some custom charm orders through Etsy or Facebook.. but I need samples! And I don't have any pets, so I need pets!

I'll just be doing the drawings, not making them into actual charms. I'd like to include the photo (or at least a portion of it) in the Etsy listing to compare the photo to the drawn image, so this needs to be your own photo of your own pet XD The charms are pretty tiny (1") so the drawings will either be portraits or simplified full-body images.

Here's an example of one of my charms and the style the drawings will probably be in:

If you're interested, just reply to this thread with a photo of your pet(s)! I have no idea when I'll be getting around to these but hopefully sometime soon.

You are welcome to use any of my pets as examples:

Kai - Black Labrador(amber eyes)
Zeia - Black Labrador(brown eyes)
Tessa - German Shepherd Cross
Sammy(the Wonder Cat) - Tabby
Coco - Blue and Yellow Budgie

Feel free to choose whoever suits your fancy or would give you the best/widest range of examples, and let me know if you would need more reference images for any of them.

Godiva: black and silver dappled dachshund (yep she has blue eyes).

When I locate where my other pet pics are I'll post them. XD

Haha, sure! I have tons. Heehee. Pets of the past and present.

Harvey: big brown-eyed Golden Retriever
Kittanna: floofy cat w/gold eyes - and her belly
Stevie: pouncing eyeless kitty! - sitting pretty
Sophie: ultimate white princess kitty - do not want
Goldy: nine-inch goldfish! formerly gold, lol
Red & Fricki: they're even bigger now... turtles

I have like a gazillion rattie photos on FB too, if you need any rodents.

Krug, my 1 year old Dalmatian puppy.

Additional photo of Krug, he has one blue eye (left) and one brown eye (right)

And one more, cause I love taking pictures of him.

Edit: All of those are from his birthday party, here's him at the dog park in his real collar: Click

He also has two albums on my photobucket

I would love it if you could do my Oliver, Sushi. We just had to take him in to be put to sleep on Monday, and I still miss him.

I made him a blog like.. four years ago that has some pictures on it...
Oliver's Company

And here's one of my favorite pictures... he was always sleeping like that. XD

Asara, I'm so sorry for your loss. D:

Sushi, if you wants pics of goats, horses, a guinea pig, or a mixture of dogs and cats, I can always offer up some of my pets. :) But you seem to have alot already!

Thanks, Seren. Mostly I'm ok, but like in the morning is hard because he always followed me around when I was getting ready for work, and I'm still expecting him to run up every time I open the cupboard we kept his food in. He was a good kitty.

First four samples done!



@AsaraDragon - Aw, I'm sorry for your loss ;_; I hadn't seen your post when I started working on these guys but Oliver will get one for sure!

@Seren - Ooh, goats would be fun!

Want a puppy with a very long nose and a lot of fluff to try?
This is my buddy Kochab, a Tri-color Sheltie <3

The art is so adorable Sushi! I was wondering if the charms would be sturdy enough to act as keychains or zipper pulls. If you're doing another round I'd like to sneak my loaf-kitty Pumpernickel in



And I'm sorry to hear about Oliver, Asara. He looks and sounds like a such a sweet boy.

Aww, they're all super cute Sushi! I'm sure people would be interested in some custom charms.

Awwh!! So cute!

@AsaraDragon- Oh, I know... after my kitten was hit by a car this past spring, I kept missing her running up to me in the mornings all bright eyed and 'chirping'... it's really a painful empty feeling, losing a pet.


@Sushi - Well here's a pic! Fat fluffy goatlets in the snow! :3 If you need more pics I can yank some up, this one was just right here. XD

Thanks everyone, and thanks Sushi! It really means a lot to me

Glad you guys are enjoying them! I'll probably get to the rest after the weekend, since we're going to be pretty busy.

If anyone's interested in a custom charm feel free to give me a shout too I will be listing them on my Etsy account but they'll be a bit cheaper through the forum (no fees!).

Took me forever to find a pic of her:



I'll see if I've got any photos of my reptiles too.
