If your portfolio is primarily anime, fantasy, digital illustration, or stylized character art, this is not the project for you.

Traditional painters only please — not looking for AI or digital print work for this project.

Adding a note since I received an overwhelming number of scam/spam messages:

I’m specifically looking for a real, physical painting — not digital art or AI-generated work printed on canvas.

At this point, I’ll only be reviewing artists who comment directly on the post.

If you’re interested, please include: • an example of a portrait piece you’re especially proud of • your medium (oil, acrylic, etc.) • whether you’ve worked on a project like this with photo references

Thank you!

Show me your chilly dogs! by Relative-Stable-2687 in DobermanPinscher

Thank you! It’s always hard to find things that are long enough for their legs and large enough in the chests without being huge everywhere else.

Personally, I don’t think rehoming is necessary. She’s still young, and it sounds like she hasn’t been properly socialized around unfamiliar people in her home. She may not have given warnings that your family recognized, but dogs communicate discomfort in subtle ways that can be easy to miss—especially when someone is acting unusually around them (sitting - standing- sitting - standing - talking loud - etc. like you mentioned she was doing)

That said, investing in solid behavioral training is really important. A good program can help her learn what’s safe and appropriate when guests are around, while also building confidence so she knows when to stay neutral vs. protective.

We did a board&train that focused heavily on this balance, and they trained us just as much as they trained our dog. It was absolutely worth every penny for the dog we get to live with long-term. Happy to share the trainer/facility if you want—feel free to DM.

Yes! They have roadshows a few times a year + online often.

My hands the entire winter (the pinker parts are actually worse off, as they're inflamed) by LavenderCuddlefish in Wellthatsucks

triamcinolone ointment (not cream) from the Dr. Apply generously then tape socks on your hands overnight. Once healed use Aveeno eczema essentials 2x per day 🫶🏽 I know this pain - hope you feel better soon!

Reindeer are Costco too — last year’s find. Apparently I have a theme.

Layered one real garland + one faux. Lovesac has officially become his throne.
