The pose changes the feeling and the footprint of a custom pet sculpture
Standing, sitting, and lying poses can all be recognizable. The best choice is usually the posture that feels most familiar and that fits the planned display space. A clear pose reference also helps the production review understand the silhouette before personalized work begins.
Standing pose
A standing pose can show the full body, leg placement, tail, and overall outline. It often needs more vertical clearance, so measure beneath shelves or cabinets. Choose a photo where all four legs or the intended weight distribution can be understood, even if the final pose is slightly relaxed.
Sitting pose
A sitting pose creates a compact vertical silhouette and is often easier to place on a desk or shelf. Use a front or three-quarter view to show the face, chest, paws, and folded hind legs. If the tail wraps around the body, include a side or rear angle so that detail is not mistaken for the outline of a leg.
Lying pose
A lying pose can feel quiet and familiar, but it usually needs more horizontal space. Send a photo that shows the full length of the body, the head direction, the paws, and the tail. Check the display depth before choosing this pose for a narrow shelf.
Match the pose to the reference set
One pose photo rarely explains every detail. Combine a full-body pose photo with a clear face photo and a side view. The photo guide explains how to build that set. If the pose is important, mention it in the brief and identify what must remain recognizable.
Consider size and display space together
Tiny Presence offers 10 cm, 12 cm, and 15 cm sizes. The listed size is not the only space consideration: a lying pose can spread across the surface, while a standing pose can require more height. Use the size guide to compare the options, then measure the exact place where the sculpture will live.
Use the preview as a proportion check
The commission includes a preview for approval after the personalized work is developed. Review the pose, silhouette, facial direction, coat markings, and overall relationship to the selected size. The process guide explains how the preview fits into the 40% initial payment and remaining-balance workflow.
When the pose and reference photos are ready, view Product #203 and choose the option that fits both the pet and the display space.
