Tibetan Mastiff portrait questions

Will the portrait really look like my Tibetan Mastiff?

Every Tibetan Mastiff portrait starts with an identity passport built from your photos: the exact thick, long double coat coat, the black, black and tan, gold colouring, the ear set and the eye colour. The finished painting is then compared back against your originals and repainted if it drifts, so what arrives is your Tibetan Mastiff rather than a generic one.

My Tibetan Mastiff has unusual markings — can you keep them?

That detail is exactly what we keep. A guardian of ancient monasteries has earned the imposing weight of a knight's full armor. Owners recognise their dog by the irregularities, so those are recorded first and are the first thing the likeness check looks for.

Which photos work best for a Tibetan Mastiff portrait?

The best Tibetan Mastiff photo is unglamorous: natural light, camera at their height, nothing covering the face. Long and layered coats look best when light comes from the side. Two or three photos from slightly different angles beat one perfect portrait.

Which styles suit a Tibetan Mastiff best?

Any style works, though character matters. A Tibetan Mastiff tends to be independent, protective, so the three recommended above tend to land best — the scene supports the dog rather than competing with them.
