Piece done "on commission" from her lovely owner. More photos of Sacha, and her boyfriend Mr. Darcy, can be found here.

I am thinking of making a little business out of this; what say you?

Very cool. I love the detail!

I'm all for selling your work! :)

[my_daroga]

Thanks! You think a "client" would be satisfied?

I think this could definitely be a nice niche market; people will pay for all sorts of pet things.

Are you interested in making prints? Yeah, I think a client would be satisfied if it in the kind of art they dig.

I assume you would do portraits of their pets? I'd do it. You could even go so far as to do "famous" pets (that orange cat from, like, the 80s - what was his name?).... People dig animals, I agree - especially their own.

Yeah; I can either take it to one of those photo kiosks or, preferably, get them sent out and printed. DevArt has a nice service to do that, with different finishes and they'll even put stuff on mugs or puzzles or bags or whatever (like Cafe Press).

I'm hoping the style is something that will be attractive to people. At least some of them. I could do photos, you know, but everyone does that and what's more, you can do that yourself. This is more like a painting. Only not.

I think it is a great idea - it can't hurt to try it out. I'm doing that with my stuff - trying it out and seeing what happens...

DOOOO ITTTTT!

[my_daroga]

Yup! I am. Need to figure out pricing, etc. But it's definitely a go plan.

Definately. In fact I just recommended you to someone seeking dog portraits on craftster (as well as mentioning my Darmoth work).

ooh you should totally do portraits of Dar and Havok for M&M :D

[my_daroga]

I'm totally going to do that; don't tell them!

And thanks for the pimp!

That really is quite lovely. And one of life's major lessons is that people will pay to have their pet on almost anything. I have seen people buy pillows embroidered with a picture of their small furry darling. This is rather more tasteful and attractive, at least in my opinion. Hell, I would love to have a picture of my cat like that, if he'd ever stand still for a decent photo.

[my_daroga]

If you ever have a photo you want done? I'll totally do it. I haven't done cats yet, but I'm by no means opposed to it. I just don't like doing people.

And yeah, people can be nuts about their pets. I know I am.

This really is awesome. If I had a pet I'd get one. Well, I don't know what I'd do with it. But I'd like it.

[my_daroga]

It's art. You don't have to "do" anything with it.

Thanks!!
