How it works

1

1. Choose Your Package


Decide between LITE and FULL digital options. Both come with high-res poster and PNG files, but the FULL version includes more creative options, revisions, and pose changes.

2

2. Upload Your Photos + Info

At checkout, you’ll be asked to upload clear reference photos of your dog and fill out a short form with key details. This helps me bring your pup’s anatomy to life.

3

3. Approve Your Draft

You’ll receive a digital preview of your artwork. If you’ve selected the FULL version, this is your chance to request edits and get creative with your poster (only very minor edits allowed with LITE). All communication will be through email.

4

4. Receive Final Files

Once your artwork is approved, you’ll get a set of high-resolution digital files delivered straight to your inbox (via DROPBOX) — including posters, wallpapers, and transparent PNGs (depending on your package).

5. Order Your Add-Ons

Want to bring your dog’s design into the physical world? Add-ons like stickers, prints, acrylics and blankets are available exclusively to commission customers — and they ship FREE within Canada and the continental U.S.

FAQs

About the process

Which package (FULL or LITE) should I choose?

The difference lies in the amount of work required to complete the commission and the amount of customization.

Both packages include high-resolution poster files and smartphone wallpapers (plus icon packs). Files are available in dark and light themes.

FULL commissions allow for pose changes, in-depth revisions, and more creativity. This means that if you'd like to see something science-themed or a more creative angle for your poster, we'll collaborate to turn your vision into reality. This package also includes bonus sticker PNG files (for personal merch creation).

LITE commissions do not allow for pose changes and are based exclusively on the photo(s) you send. This means you already have a photo you'd like to see X-rayed. The photo doesn't have to be perfect, but it means that a single image will be created with only very minimal edits allowed. LITE commissions also do not include bonus PNG sticker files.

If you already have a great photo of your dog stacked, gaiting or jumping, LITE may be your easiest option.

What kind of photo should I send?

Ideally, a side-view photo where I can see your dog’s full structure — legs, spine, tail, and all. Standing is best, but I'll take what you have. Upload up to four images at checkout, and I’ll choose the one that gives me the clearest view of their build.

What if I don't have a great side image?

Send what you have! Consider taking a quick pic on your phone. Everything helps.

For a FULL package, I can piece together something from your photos and even come up with a custom pose. It'll still be created in your pup's bony image!

Even if you're interested in a LITE package, I can work with what you send! It simply means there'll be a little less flexibility with what I can create.

Can I request a custom pose?

Yes, but for FULL commissions only. Once I have a good side profile, I can redraw your dog in a custom pose — play bow, mid-stride, jumping, you name it.

Just know this takes significantly more time (I’m basically creating them twice), so it will take longer to finish your commission

-

LITE commissions do not include the option for custom poses.

Do both packages include revisions?

YES — but how much revision support depends on the package you choose.

LITE option includes a preview so you can request small adjustments (like text edits, scale, or contrast).

FULL package includes heavier feedback rounds — like pose changes, anatomy tweaks, or layout refinements. It’s ideal for those who know they’ll want a little extra fine-tuning.

How will I get the files?

All communication happens by email.

PLEASE make sure to check your spam and/or promotions tab. All emails will come from:

shelley@barkandbone.ca

Drafts and final artwork are delivered through a Dropbox link — no login required. You’ll receive:

  • Light and dark versions of your poster (high-res PNG)
  • A transparent PNG for stickers or personal printing
  • A DIY guide to printing your art
Will anything be shipped to me?

Nope. This is a digital-only product.

The mockups you see on the site (prints, stickers, blankets) are examples featuring my bridge Greyhound, Scotty. He makes a great model, but nothing physical will be mailed.

If you'd like physical items, we have a great lineup of add-ons (from stickers to acrylic prints) for you to enhance your order!

How long does it take?

Turnaround is typically 2–4 weeks, depending on how many commissions I’m working on at once.

There’s no cap on spots right now, but I will close commissions once my queue fills up. If you’re thinking about it, best not to wait too long.

It's just a digital file. Why is it $169.99?

(1) This isn't just a file.

This is the file. The one you’ll turn into whatever you want.

A framed piece. A tattoo stencil. A sticker set. A hoodie. Whatever your wee heart desires.

You’re not buying a product — you’re buying the foundation for every product.

And the personal use license to do so. As many times as you want.

(2) This isn’t a cute pet portrait. It’s a hand-created, bone-deep tribute to your dog’s structure — made from the inside out.

There's no AI here—just the work of one anatomy nerd. The price also reflects the amount of time it takes to render your dog to your wishes and format all the files.

(3) And most importantly? You're getting something that looks nothing like what everyone else is selling.

You can worship your favorite breed's bones on just about anything you can dream up, and in a way that also satisfies that weird anatomy obsession of yours.

This is art you can use. That lives with you. That doesn't rely on crowns, flower wreaths, or soft-focus filters to say something meaningful.

BTW - We also have a LITE commission - less fuss and bling at a reduced price ($99.99 CAD).

About your dog(s)

Can I add a second dog?

Yes. Simply select "2 Dogs."

Remember:

Adding a second or third dog to your commission is totally possible, but it’s a bigger project that requires double the bone work. Please expect a longer wait time to receive your files.

You'll receive poster and PNG files for each dog.

I'm ordering commissions for 2 dogs. Can I combine them in the same poster?

That depends.

For a FULL custom, YES. We can collaborate on how you'd like to position your dogs and the kind of look you're after.

For the LITE version NO. You'll receive 2 separate packages for each dog. This is because re-imagining a poster meant for a single dog requires extra time and consideration.

What if I have 3 (or more) dogs?

Contact me before you order:

shelley@barkandbone.ca and we'll work out the specifics!

What about my mixed-breed dog? I only see purebred dogs on your site.

You're in luck!

I'm working from your photo(s). So long as you have a decent side view, send it! I can capture you're mixed pups in all their skeletal glory!

What's next?

Can I order a print or a sticker of my commission?

Absolutely! If you'd rather not have to deal with any DIY hijinks, check out our Add-ons page!

Please note that we ONLY ship add-ons to Canada and the continental U.S. at this time.

Can I use the art commercially?

No.

This commission includes a personal-use license only. You’re welcome to print your artwork as a poster, a sticker, a mug, a tattoo — whatever makes your weird little heart happy.

But you may not sell or reproduce it on products for commercial gain, branding, or resale.
