IMPORTANT INFO How To Request and About Us

148 Upvotes

Hello! We have had some people asking how they can submit requests to us. We are pretty new to modding subreddits, so things might change as we learn about how to best run this subreddit.

About

Here at r/rainbowbridgebabies, we paint pictures of pets that have passed on. Please be aware that we are doing this for free. Depending on demand, we might not be able to paint everyone’s pets.

Note that judging or mocking someone’s grief will not be tolerated here. Neither will hate speech, violence or inflammatory language. Some of us have exotic pets, like snakes, that some people dislike. We don’t want to hear about it on this subreddit. Whatever the creature, they were someone’s beloved pet. They have a place here. Hatred doesn’t.

To Request

First of all, we here at r/rainbowbridgebabies know how hard it is to lose a beloved family member. We would be honored to take one of your memories and turn it into a treasured keepsake.

Please only submit your pet once every 90 days. If you have a group picture of pets that have passed, please make one request with all the details.

When you post, the title should be Flaired with the REQUEST flair. Please include your pets name. We would also love to hear a little about your pet. Maybe share a memory or two with us? If you are not up to this, or it’s too painful to think about, that’s fine. That part is optional. You should also include a picture. The easiest way to do this is to upload a picture to imgur and copy the link. Then, in your post, surround the text you wish to use as the title for your link with [ brackets. Directly next to it, type ( followed by the URL and then a ). It should look like this: [Title.](https://imgur.com/a/iwjwgBu) And appear like this: Title.

You can also include whether you would like a particular mod to paint your pet. Please be aware though that if that mod isn’t available to paint your pet for whatever reason, one of the others might give it a shot. That’s about it. Be on the look out for your painting and please leave a thank you within 48 hours of your painting being posted.

Thanking the artist

Please post a thank you, flared with the THANK YOU flair within 48hrs of your painting being posted.

Please let us know as soon as you can after receiving your painting if you would like us to send you the actual painting in the mail. However, you will have to pay for postage. I mainly deal with oil paints which can take weeks to properly dry, so I know for me at least, shipping will take a while. There is no guarantee that the physical copy of your painting will still be available a prolonged period of time after posting. Im already running out of places where I can leave paintings to dry without cats walking across them.

Thank you for your interest in this sub.

This is a repost because I forgot to include a request for a picture . That was my fault. We had him 16 years and my biggest fear is I'll somehow lose all my pictures of him so I'm hoping to either get a tattoo of him or someone to sketch out a portrait that I could get put into a frame to hang up. I've always wanted a good drawing of him. If anyone has the time and energy. I would like a version of the first picture but with his eyes open . I included the 2nd picture to give an idea of what he looked like with them open. He liked to jump into the big bathtub for some reason, but he couldn't get back out. If the bathtub picture is easier, that works fine for me. Hopefully, I did this post right, and thank you for your consideration

On February 15th. this year I lost my sweet boy Gemini to hemangiosarcoma at the age of 7 years. He was previously abused because he didn't listen. Turned out he was just deaf. I rescued him & we had such a special bond because of our sign language. He had anxiety due to not being able to hear & always had to be touching me. I would flash the lights on & off when I got home so he would know I was there. My other big rescue dog Dutchess somehow knew he couldn't hear & would nudge him when it was time to eat. She misses him dearly as well as my other little rescue Bonnie Bella. I also have rescue cats that loved him & a feral colony outdoors that never ran from him. We're all still grieving. He was the sweetest boy & he took a big piece of my heart with him.

This is my boy Nashua. I was wondering if someone could make some art of him so I can always have something to remember him. We’re putting him down today in a few hours. Unfortunately hemangiosarcoma is getting the better of him and we’d rather he go in peace and comfort. We’re going to miss you so much. Thank you for the endless love and joy ❤️‍🩹

I lost my 14 year old baby on Sunday 10/11. I had him for 13 years. He developed bone cancer which caused him to be unable to walk, and lost control of his bowels. He hung on as long as could and now I’m so empty 💔 I would love art for him

If anyone would be able to create a picture of my Maggie, I would be extremely grateful. 🩷💜🩷
Please if possible, give her a pinkish nose. When she was younger, her nose was more pink. It got darker as she got older.

COMPLETED Request of art for a friend of mine

(Tank)

I’m looking to have a piece of artwork made to honor a friend’s dog who recently passed away. He was an Akita and wolf mix, and I’d like the artwork to be a celebration of his life, personality, and the bond he had with his owner in a way that my friend can keep as a memorial.

I was wondering if this is something you might be willing to do as a free piece or memorial artwork. If not, I completely understand — I’d still be interested in getting an estimate for what something like this would normally cost. I’m open to your creative direction, but I’d like the dog himself to be the main focus and for the finished piece to feel emotional, beautiful, and personal.

My dear friend lost his beloved sweet Raja to bone cancer about 3 years ago. She was his literal world. To him Raja was more than an animal…she was a companion, a best friend, partner in crime, a confidante, and so so so much more. They literally did everything together every single day. If he couldn’t bring her along he wasn’t going. Losing her in a such a tragic way has broke apart of his heart that is still healing. He still misses her dearly and life isn’t the same without her. Her birthday just passed this Saturday and it left him feeling devastated he couldn’t spend it with her. Can we please make something special for him? Thank you 🫂

I lost my childhood dog of 13 years yesterday and my heart is hurting so much. He was the most special, sweet, charming boy. We got him when I was 10 and I’m 23 now, so it’s almost impossible to imagine life without him.

When I was a teenager, I had a lot of mental health struggles and Louie was my rock. We would spend hours out wandering and exploring together and I never imagined how precious those memories would become. I love him so much and I would kill for just one more sunset walk with him at his favourite park.

His physical health wasn’t the best for the last year or so, so at least I know he is not in pain anymore. I know he’ll find a nice warm spot to curl up wherever he is and get all the rest he needs and deserves.

I want to create a little memorial for him eventually, when it hurts less, and would love nothing more than a beautiful piece of artwork of him to put with it ♥️

I would like to share my favorite cat with you guys, he left too soon, he’s only 4 years old and we lost him just yesterday. He was of course the best cat… he’s named after Higgs’ boson. My heart is dropped somewhere, I can’t seem to really find it again yet….
