How it works
Five steps for you, roughly a week of careful drawing for us, and then a parcel arrives with your pet looking unreasonably important.

Choose your city
Pick from our illustrated cities or ask for somewhere personal. Each city has its own illustrated backdrop of landmarks, transport, weather and local snacks.

Tell us about your pet
Name, breed-ish description, markings, and the bit that matters most: personality. If they sit like a gremlin or have one ear that never quite works, tell us.
Takes 2 minutes

Upload three photos
Three clear, well-lit, full-body photos. JPG, JPEG, PNG or HEIC. We use all three to get proportions, colour and expression right.

Here are the exact reference photos we drew Sesame from. Nothing fancy, just clear daylight, full body, and that folded ear visible in at least one shot.

Full body, daylight, one folded ear on show. A perfect reference photo.
