⚠️ Pre-Orders Open.
Every commission is built from the bones up. Projects are completed in the order received, and during busy periods there may be a small queue. Reserving your spot secures your place in line.
How it Works
Upload your favorite image(s) of your dog.
You must upload at least 1 image (4 max).
IMAGES FROM THE SIDE ARE BEST.
Side images allow for the best skeletal representation of your pup.
The clearer the angle, the better — but if the best photo you have is a little wonky, I’ll work with it.
You can also leave me a note if you want something specific — a custom pose, a particular feature, or if the photo is all you’ve got.
Once a draft image is ready, the file will be sent to your inbox. We can decide on style, text or other elements at that point.

Digital Art Package
For the breed snobs, bone collectors, and structure-obsessed.
Your dog, down to the bone.
This isn’t a cutesy portrait. It’s a skeletal tribute — digitally created from your photos and built with anatomical detail, quiet reverence, and a touch of dark humor.
Perfect for memorials. Or just because you love your dog that much.
Please note: All X-Ray My Dog portraits are created in a strict side-profile orientation.
We do not create skeletons in frontal, ¾, or angled views.

3. A transparent PNG so you can create your own:
* Stickers
* Shirts
* Temporary tattoos
* Shrine-worthy merch (think mugs, coasters, phone cases, etc)

THIS IS A DIGITAL PRODUCT - NOTHING WILL BE SHIPPED

Want to level up your custom art?

What kind of photos do you need?
Clear side-view photographs are best! Ideally, your dog should be standing with their full body visible, including their legs, paws, and tail. Additional photos can help me capture distinctive features.
Can I use photographs taken by a professional photographer?
Yes. However, if you're submitting photographs taken by a professional photographer (or anyone other than yourself), please make sure you have permission to use them as references for commissioned artwork.
Can you create artwork of a dog who has passed away?
Of course. Memorial commissions are welcome. Older photographs can certainly be used, provided there's enough visual information to work from.
Can you create artwork of mixed breeds?
Absolutely! In fact, that's one of the advantages of a custom commission. Your dog's artwork is created from their photographs, regardless of breed or ancestry.
What if I don't have a good side-view photo?
Send me what you have, but keep in mind that a clear side profile is essential for creating accurate artwork. If your photographs don't provide enough information, I may ask for additional references.
Can you create a custom pose?
Yes! Running, jumping, playing, or simply standing, there are plenty of possibilities. All artwork is created in side profile, and more complicated poses may require additional references and production time.
Can I request changes to my artwork?
Yes. Your commission includes one round of revisions after you receive your initial draft. This is your opportunity to request adjustments before the artwork is finalized.
Can I use my artwork to make my own products?
Absolutely! Your commission includes a personal-use license, so you're welcome to have your artwork printed on apparel, stickers, posters, and other personal items. Commercial reproduction or resale is not permitted.
Will the finished artwork look exactly like my dog?
Your artwork is created using your dog's photographs, with particular attention to their proportions, structure, and distinctive features. However, this is a stylized skeletal illustration, not a literal X-ray or photorealistic portrait.
What exactly will I receive?
X-Ray My Dog is a digital artwork package. You'll receive high-resolution poster files in light and dark versions, along with transparent PNG files suitable for personal merchandise and printing. Nothing physical is shipped unless you separately purchase an add-on.
Can I order apparel featuring my commissioned artwork?
Yes! Custom hoodies and tees are available as add-ons. Keep in mind that your artwork must be completed and approved before apparel can go into production, so please allow additional time, particularly during the holiday season.
I have more questions!

Had my custom x-ray of me Dogo Nero dock diving and I can't say enough how amazing it is! You know it's him when you see it. You will not regret getting a custom x-ray of your dog!
So happy with my art! Shelley was responsive to my questions, was happy to make the changes I asked for, and delivered exactly what I was hoping for. I am excited to use the art I got to print on banners and stickers to bring to competitions with me. We'll be the coolest tent on the block! Thanks Shelley! I'll be buying more art for sure!
