Whimsical Realistic 8-Cat Portrait

I’d like a single group portrait of my eight cats, drawn in a realistic style but with a playful, whimsical twist that highlights each of their personalities. The setting should feel like home—sofa, windowsill, scratching post, anything that instantly tells the viewer “this is their territory.” I’m imagining gentle exaggerations (a mischievous grin here, an oversized fluffy tail there) while still keeping their markings, eye colours, and body shapes true to life.

What I need from you
• A high-resolution digital illustration (at least 4000 px on the longest side, RGB + CMYK versions) ready for both printing and online sharing.
• One round of sketch approval so I can confirm likenesses and overall composition before you move to colouring and final polish.
• Final files in layered PSD or Procreate format plus flattened PNG/JPEG copies.

I can supply reference photos for each cat and details about favourite spots in the house to weave naturally into the scene. If you work in Procreate, Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, or a comparable digital tool, that’s perfect—just let me know your preference.

Acceptance criteria
• All eight cats clearly recognisable from provided photos.
• Home environment elements incorporated coherently, not cluttered.
• Whimsical touches enhance, not overwhelm, the realistic base.
• Final files meet the resolution and format specs above.

Looking forward to seeing your sketch concept and hearing how you’d bring this cozy, light-hearted portrait to life!
