Traditional pet portrait commissions can take weeks and cost hundreds of dollars. Digital options like Still Life Pets trade turnaround time and price for a self-serve workflow: you upload, preview styles, and download HD files the same day.
Neither path is “wrong.” The right choice depends on whether you want a one-of-a-kind handmade object or fast, affordable digital art you can print yourself.
Time and price
A sketched or painted commission often involves deposits, waitlists, and shipping for physical canvases. Still Life Pets charges a flat $14.99 once for two HD digital downloads per style (eight with four styles) after free watermarked previews — no subscription.
Likeness and control
Traditional artists iterate with sketches. Digital style catalogs let you compare looks (oil, watercolor, studio, and more) before you pay. Always start with a clear photo of your cat or dog so facial markings stay recognizable.
Prints and usage
v1 of Still Life Pets is digital-only — you receive files to print at home or via a local shop. Traditional commissions may include a stretched canvas. Check license terms either way; personal display is the common use case.
