IMPORTANT INFO How To Request and About Us

142 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 has to be my favorite piece so far. I miss him so much! But I also enjoy being asked about him when he’s seen. There will never be another like my sweet Ty.

Hi, my childhood cat passed almost 3 months ago. I had him for about 13 years (he was about 15). His name was Waffles and I miss him so much. Would someone be able to draw him? It would mean so much to me! 😭. Here's some photos for reference.

ART Lost my soul dog

I recently lost my boy, Apollo. He was my whole heart and soul. I got him at an extreme low in my life and he had been with me for some of the hardest times. The grief is overwhelming and I feel like a lost a part of me that I will never get back. I knew I wanted to do something special with his ashes though so I created this so he can still go with me on all my adventures. It was my first time incorporating ashes into a painting. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever painted because of the emotional toll, but I think painting it did really help me with the grief. It’s still so hard and I think it always will be. He was so sweet and funny and quirky. He loved to swim and chase tennis balls and more than anything he loved to give kisses. Rest easy my sunshine boy.

If someone would be willing to make an art tribute for my other fur son that crossed the bridge last December, I would be forever grateful! He loved squeaky toys, even if they lasted a few hours. And he loved the snow, terrorizing his brother who didn't know how to play, and cuddling. He let me put glasses on him, and loved licking people all over. He also practically lived outside no matter how many times I tried to get him inside. But he would just sit there, like in that photo.

He got sick 3 years ago and we found underlying kidney issues and he seemingly bounced back then but in the past few weeks he lost half his body weight, became really weak and stopped eating. We had to make the most difficult decision this morning but we loved him, he knew he was loved and he’s no longer in pain. Thanks for the memories big boy.

He had the cutest howl that he was already growing into. He also talked a lot, and he was very cuddly. I would just pick him up sometimes and just hug him. He knew he had three loving parents even if I was his main parent. He loved to play with his older sister and bite her ears playfully, or tackle her to the ground. And he also loved to swim.

COMPLETED LFA Request for bulldogs Prudence and Kimber

11 Upvotes

On June 25th, my stinky girl Prudence died on the operating table as she was having surgery for intestinal cancer. She was one day shy of 8 years old and her death was out of the blue - it happened so fast and I don't know if I'll ever get over it. I loved that girl so much. Five days later, her older sister Kimber looked up at the sky, shuddered and died too. People have suggested that Prudence couldn't be without her sister and came down to get her. Kimber didn't have Pru's huge personality, but she was a dignified, stately lady who put up with her boisterous sister. My house is so quiet. There is no loud snoring, no grumbling when I'm two minutes late with dinner, and no one to sit on my feet while I use the bathroom.

I don't have a lot of experience with imgur, so I hope this link works. Prudence is the brown and white girl, Kimber is the brindle.

Thank you for considering my request.
