Animal Portraits
(not just another pretty muzzle...)
So you've got nine thousand digital pics of Rover and Fluffy and Lightning. Now for something completely different...
Try a traditional watercolor portrait, or Prismacolor pencil on high quality MiTientes paper. Or round up those digital shots and I'll create a totally original image in Photoshop. Or unleash your own wild side with a "totem animal" or "animal spirit" portrait. These can be done with any animal, though felines, canines, ursines and other animals with short muzzles overlay the human face best (hawks and owls work very well too). Illustrate an adventure from your own life or your imagination. Create your own bookcover, poster, or arts'n'crafts piece (many photo outlets take an image and turn it into a blanket or afghan). Create your own greeting card. Or cartoon yourself and Rover.
