How to Choose the Right Size for a Custom Dog Sculpture

Start with the space where you will keep it

The right size for a custom dog sculpture depends on where you will display it and how much visual presence you want. A small desk, a narrow shelf, and a larger display area call for different proportions. Planning the space first makes the choice clearer than choosing a size from the number alone.

Tiny Presence size options

Tiny Presence offers three sizes: 10 cm, 12 cm, and 15 cm. See the product page for current prices. You pay a 40% deposit to begin your commission. After you approve the digital preview, the remaining 60% plus shipping is collected before physical production begins.

Size Good starting question
10 cm Will it sit comfortably on a small desk, bedside table, or narrow shelf?
12 cm Do you want a balanced everyday display with a little more presence?
15 cm Do you have a larger shelf or display surface where the sculpture can stand out?

Measure the surface

Measure the width and depth of the intended spot, then leave space around the sculpture so it does not feel crowded. Check the height beneath a shelf or cabinet. If the display location changes between rooms, choose the space that matters most instead of assuming the largest option will work everywhere.

Think about the pose and silhouette

A standing dog can read taller than a sitting dog even when the listed size is the same. A lying pose usually needs more horizontal room. Look for reference photos that show the full body and the posture you want to preserve. The photo guide explains how to prepare those references.

Use the preview step to check the proportions

The commission includes a preview for approval. Use that step to review the overall silhouette, recognizable facial details, coat pattern, and the relationship between the pose and the selected size. The process guide explains when that review happens.

Quick decision checklist

  • Measure the display surface and clearance above it.
  • Choose a pose that fits the available width and height.
  • Compare 10, 12, and 15 cm using the full size guide.
  • Explore the custom pet sculpture when your display plan is clear.

Size is one part of a good commission brief. Clear photos, a familiar pose, and a focused list of must-preserve details help the final sculpture stay connected to the dog you want to remember.
