A couple months ago I lost my dog Sandi very suddenly. I didn’t have pictures of Sandi so it’s like she wasn’t born. I don’t want that to happen to Charlie’s dogs. For Christmas I was thinking I might get a picture of Lucy taken without Charlie knowing and have a photo of Bear made like Kobe Bryant a LA Lakers Basketball Player because this is a one of a kind Gift Charlie would always have and its one of our Sponsors inside our Christmas Gift Guide 2021: Gifts for Pet Lovers: Splendid Beast.
About:
Splendid Beast is the perfect Holiday gift option for movie (and pet) lovers! We create unique hand-made paintings of people’s pets in every situation. Fantastical scenes, direct photo-to-painting recreations, famous & historical themed paintings, countless TV shows, and endless movie references, scenes & posters.. All of our paintings are first designed in Photoshop, so there really is no limit to what we can make. If it can be imagined, it can be painted!
There’s a couple ways the process works. You can browse through and choose from our shop designs or send us an email with your idea for a custom design. You’ll be provided with a price and purchase link in either case. We have two standard sizes and 3 types of canvas wraps, canvas only, gallery wrapped, and framed. After you place your order, you’ll be presented with an upload form for your photos, which can each include a description. After you upload photos, the order will be assigned to one of our designers who will take your notes & photos to create a mock-up in Photoshop. We’ll send you the mock-up in an email for approval and you’ll be able to request any edits that you’d like at this point. Once the mock-up is approved, it’s sent to our team of painters who will then paint your final piece, using the mock-up as direct reference.
After we finish the painting and it’s drying, we’ll take pictures and send them to you for final approval. We can still make small-to-medium fixes and touch ups at this stage, if necessary. Once we have your final approval (or after a certain amount of time), we’ll prep your portrait for shipping and send it out as soon as it’s ready. You can also check our FAQ page for more information and answers to common questions.
We’re also currently running a Holiday promotion for $35 off and Free Shipping through November 30th. Just enter code “HOLIDAYS21” at checkout for it to apply. All orders placed before December 1st will arrive before Christmas.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
