Hi all! I have been having some fun creating adult coloring books and I want to make one that features Basenji's. So, I am asking you to please share your pups photos. I would prefer that you email the pictures to me privately. My email address is visible on my Basenji Forums Profile: @elbrant.
I process the pictures that you send, using 4 different software products, to reduce the images into a detailed sketch. This is not your typical outline of a dog... The process to go from photograph to coloring page significantly alters the image. The rendered image will include the environment surrounding the dog, whether that's a grassy field, your slippers, or a pile of pets on your lap. (Some images work better than others.) I am hoping to end up with 50 images/pages in total.
(sample) doodle asking for a dog treat:
This does not infringe on your copyright. You retain all rights to your photography. I retain the rights to the rendered image.
Forum Anti-Spam rules will prevent me from announcing it once it's done. However, anyone who sends me a photo to use will get an email to let them know that it's finished, along with a copy of the coloring page(s) I created from any image(s) they sent me. (And a link to the finished book which will be sold through Amazon and Google Play.)
If you are interested in showing off your dog in this unique way, please email the pictures to me privately. My email address is visible on my Basenji Forums Profile: @elbrant.
Thanks everyone!!
What an awesome project and I want a book! Questions, questions...
Is this a Basenji Forums project, and if so are you going to include doggy names and locations?
I think it's cool that we're global.
Also, do you want for us to convert the photo to a drawing for you?
@kembe That pic is the ultimate 'frog-dog' position ! I love it !
@jengosmonkey I hope not dogs' names ! but I too would love a book.
As long as anonymity is maintained !
@jengosmonkey said in Basenji Pics Please:
Is this a Basenji Forums project,
No, this is an "elBrant" project that I thought would be fun. I've done other coloring books, but I wanted to do one on Basenji's and thought the other Forum members would be willing to assist with photos of their pups.
and if so are you going to include doggy names and locations?
No, I want to respect everyone's privacy. I will send you a copy of the rendered image which you could share with family & friends (if you want). And I will send a link to the book when it's finished.
I think it's cool that we're global.
me, too!
Also, do you want for us to convert the photo to a drawing for you?
No thank you, I want all of the photos to go through the same process so that I can maintain the formatting throughout the book.
@elbrant happy to send a photo.
@kembe cutie
Hi @elbrant
Did you manage to complete your book? Would love to buy a copy when it's ready 
@Ashmoore92 It got put on the "back burner" ... I have some, but not enough for a book. I'll circle back around to it.
