General
Do you work from pet photos?
▶
Yes! To capture your companion's spirit clearly, here's how to provide the best photos:
1. Natural Light Is Magick
Take photos near a window or outdoors.
Avoid lamps or yellow lighting.
Sunlight reveals true colors and details.
2. Get Eye-Level
Kneel, sit or lay down to take pictures from their height.
Eye-level photos show personality and expression best.
3. Avoid Heavy Shadows
Try to keep both sides of their face illuminated. If half of their face is dark, details disappear.
4. Take Multiple Angles
Ideally include:
*Front view
*Clear eye shot
*Side profile (each side)
*A few 3/4 angle shots
*Optional: A full-body pic
More angles = more magick for me to work with.
5. Show True Colors & Markings
Make sure markings, spots, stripes and patterns are visible.
No filters or color edits - natural is best.
6. Capture Their Vibe
If they're
*regal
*silly
*shy
*mischievous
*cosmic
*chaotic
*gentle
*wise
Try to photograph them in a moment that reflects this.
Their essence informs the final art.
7. Delete The Blurries
Clear photos help me add precise detail - especially around the eyes, fur, scales, whiskers or feathers.
8. Send 3-10 Photos
More than one helps me achieve accuracy and portray their personality purrfectly.
Do you only conjure cats and dogs?

From lawful good to chaotic evil, all animals and creatures welcome! While I primarily receive requests for felines and canines, I love creating artwork as long as it’s animal related. Mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates and mythical creatures…oh yes! If you’d like a mash-up of your pet with a character, or a type of game’s scenery…I am up for the challenge!
**Humanoids, the “mouse” and original gang are out of the question.**
**All character art is my fan-based interpretation. I am in no way affiliated with any major company.**
I don’t have a familiar. Can you still conjure one for me?
▶
Of course! Message me the kind of animal -or- creature, along with your chosen magickal components. I will conjure up your very own companion.
If I want a bit of magick, but can't decide. Can you help, or surprise me?
▶
Definitely! The marvelous thing is, you’re not alone! There are many customers who come to me that are not quite sure of what to ask for. Maybe you know the animal, or surface, but don’t know what details to add to it. Message me and I can brainstorm with you…or I can wing it and we’ll both be surprised by what I create! It’s so much fun!
Can you draw or paint more than one animal?
▶
Absolutely! When checking out, click the “additional animal” button to add however many additional creatures. Each additional animal costs 50% of the original price.
Example:
1. Familiar Gaze 12”x12” (x1 = $96) + Additional Animals (x1 = $48) Total = $144 (+ shipping)
2. Familiar Gaze 12”x12” (x1 = $96) + Additional Animals (x2 = $96) Total = $192 (+ shipping)
Do you draw or paint mystical elements or props?
▶
With pleasure! I will merrily add sparkles, bubbles, moons, stars, clouds, rainbow, swirling wisps, magick wand, runes, mushrooms, flora, fauna, crystals, candles, wings on animal, your pet’s favorite toy, etc. to your piece of art.
Seasonal elements, window scenes and items such as cat trees, pet apparel, pillows, pet beds, and character mash-ups are also fun highlights.
Under “The Grand Familiar Grimoire Page” option, natural elements such as weather conditions, land formations, bodies of water, likeness of specific natural locations, wildlife native to area of interest and gaming scenery can be requested.
Do you accept memorial portrait commissions?
▶
With great honor. I can create a gentle, heart-forward magickal tribute piece using any elements you have requested, within my skillset.
A few examples:
*Wings on your familiar
*Rainbow
*Laying/snuggling on clouds
*Running through field
*Back view looking out towards bridge
*Sitting/standing on bridge
How long does a commission take?
▶
Typically 1-3 weeks depending on your tier, whether requested components-or-surface needs to be ordered and the length of my current queue. Rush spells may be available upon request for an additional expeditious fee. **Message to inquire.*
Do you ship physical items?
▶
Yes. I currently only ship physical items. Prints are not available at this time. Only original pieces. Shipping fees apply.
Do you issue refunds?
▶
Mostly...no. Artwork is custom.
A customer spot has been claimed. Therefore I have to turn away another customer.
I cannot offer refunds after:
1. Items for your order have been purchased.
2. Conjuring has begun.
3. 48 hours or more since purchase.
Please check out my website, Facebook page, Instagram page and reviews to see if my art style is something you’d enjoy.
If for some reason you do not claim your order, it may potentially be offered for sale to the general public.
Do you send updates?
▶
Yes. Updates will be sent to you. Updates and/or sneak peeks are also usually posted onto social media. My followers and customers love seeing what I’m conjuring next.
Warning: Your pet may be oogled and snuggled virtually by my paw-tastic followers.
