Kristen Buglio's Pet Portrait Portfolio

Kristen Buglio's Pet Portrait Portfolio Portraits of your pet! See gallery and posts for examples and process details. Hello! My name is Kristen Buglio. My medium is also fairly unique for pet portraits.

TEXT (732)-597-4815, message me here, or email [email protected] for questions and quotes! I'm currently going to Stevens Institute of Technology for Art and Computer Science with an intention of entering the field of game design. I have also taken many art classes in high school(including AP art) as well as out of school. I've worked as the main artist + ideas person for a browser based

pet game from 2012-2015 and have done art for a few short game jam entries since entering college as well as a few art contests in my days. Although I've only recently taken my first real paid traditional commission I've been doing digital commissions since I was 11 and received my first pen tablet. I've always adored canines and felines as likely my favorite subject for drawing, and therefore my most expirienced! But I'm also open to drawing other pets, like hamsters, birds, ferrets, or whatever other interesting creature you've taken into your home! My prices are comparatively low for the markets average, as I'm just starting out in traditional commissions(but am not at all new to traditional art, so no worries!). I'm currently charging a materials fee(To pay for things like framing, paper, and ink) as well as $10 per hour worked, with the first hour being free. Any pet that I deem unique enough from my other examples will have the hourly price HALVED as to encourage a wider range of experience. I also tend to rework and round down the price to be cheaper than what it would be following my formula. Alcohol markers allow for a slick, almost digital look, somewhat akin to watercolor, but with far more control and precision. If you are interested in a portrait, email [email protected], or TEXT (732)-597-4815 with details(Do no call, as I do not answer unknown numbers and it's much better if I have all the information easy to reference. Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful day!

Offering a new type of portrait for those with a smaller budget! These lovely prints are only $25 each for any size under 11x17.
Alternately, 2 pieces for $40, or 3 pieces for $50, or 5 pieces for $70.
(For larger sizes, contact me for an estimate)
You will also receive a digital copy of each piece so that you may make as many copies as you'd like on your own.

To obtain physical copies you must be one of the following:
A. Capable of visiting the Hoboken area to pickup
B. Capable of visiting the Toms River area to pickup and willing to wait up to 2 extra weeks for your order
C. Willing to pay shipping(Contact me to discuss prices)

Alternately, if you just want to digital file so that you may print it yourself(In case of expensive shipping, for example) Remove $5 from the TOTAL price listed above. (1x = 20, 2x = 35, 3x = 45...)

Note: You must supply a photo of your pet, resolution of the original image isn't a huge factor in how well these come out, but composition is. So if you have a HD photo and a lower quality photo with a better composition the latter is the better choice. But I'd ask that you send me both so I can see for myself which would have a better result. Actually I would even recommend you send me a bunch of photos so that I may choose the ones I feel will have the best outcome.

Also, if you would like to specify a color scheme just tell me! Otherwise I will choose.

Finished this piece a while ago but never posted, definitely very happy with this one! I was very unsure of everything during the process but seeing it complete it's probably my favorite piece yet!

Happy early Mother's Day! This was a gift to my mother, of our dog diesel. I originally sketched him up purely from memory, but when I got back to my work station(aka my bed) and looked at some references I realized I had his facial structure completely wrong, I spent hours trying to figure out exactly how that funny looking little mug worked, but it was well worth it, maybe it's just because he's my own dog that I think this but he'll it looks just like him! You can see some of the sketch progress in the photos.

Another one down! Really enjoyed doing this piece.

Just finished the structural sketch for this lovely floof! It took a lot of research and looking at dog muscles/skeletons but I really enjoyed figuring out his shape. This was originally just going to be a research sketch to figure out his face shape, I had a separate mapping for the pose I was actually going to use but I wound up playing with this sketch for a bit more information and accidentally gave the sketch a lot more emotion than my previous idea. This will also be my first portrait(instead of landscape) portrait on the page. I'm pretty excited about this one!

ALSO, there's only one slot left for the $60 8x10 Promotion pieces. So if you want a piece for cheap sn**ch it before it goes!
