christmas gift for my sister [dog painting]

so, i've been struggling lately with trying to find a great gift for my older sister. i am, right now, living with her in south carolina and she has two dogs she loves to death.
one is a pitbull/lab mix named chunk. the other is a boykin spaniel named jake.

right now, jake is about 10 years old, almost 11, and we all have to start to face the reality that he may be on the decline as far as life is concerned. we all love him to pieces and he is the greatest dog anyone could ask for. none of us can imagine life without him.


that said, i have decided (this morning) what the most perfect gift for my sister would be:
a realistic painting of chunk and jake together OR just jake by himself.


with all of this explained, i am desperately searching for an artist who can do this for my sister in time for christmas.


i need:
- a realistic digital painting of the subject(s)
- delivered at least a week before christmas so i can have it framed and wrapped


i can pay:
- 2 mil EVD + 5 EVC (all my EV money so i'll be broke but it's worth it)



please post examples and prices below.


reminder: i am desperate so please, please try to help me out here.

Per the terms you can't really negotiate deals for real life money on-site - the rule is specifically against selling for non-site money but I believe that would apply to commissioning as well.

If it were a physical piece of art you'd want I would be willing to help, but I'm not experienced enough in digital painting to take this on - best of luck!

I wouldn't negotiate the deal (if it were real-life money or not) on site. My mom would have to be in on it so it'd be email or texting or other forms. Thanks, though.

What I mean to say is the real option should not be offered in the post - the terms specifically are against advertising anything for involving real money exchange.

Oh, okay. I can remove it - it was just something my mom told me to add in, lol. I put it on dA too and I think the majority of people who would want it would be over there so I'm cool with removing it here.

I have been trying to do the same for my mom, for a dog that died and as a blanket, but never found anyone. Hope you find someone and sorry to hear about Jake :(
