Opening three portrait requests

Some of them may be bust portraits, some maybe be full body, or all may be one or the other. I would prefer a variety of animals, rather than just dogs INCLUDING reptiles and birbs or small mammals like rabbits and hamsters, I just really want to get into realism painting. I need a change of pace in my art, and I'm not getting anywhere sticking to my old, usual shit drawing dogs, and I think that's my biggest problem. I would also like to do comms of pet portraits but I have zero practice or examples, and I don't feel like it is fair to charge people for things that could turn out very poor and amateur-level work. I will start by taking high-level photography, or at the very least, non-grainy photos with decent lighting to look off of. I may change the pose slightly, but I think for now I will be, essentially, copying the photo, with maybe a different color scheme or intensive lighting (or maybe even black and white to practice values). Without further a-do, I look forward to what you guys throw at me. Feel free to post a picture of each of your animals, but I will only be taking three total.

ALSO, these images you post must be your OWN and of your OWN animals. Realize that I am literally copying a picture that isn't mine, and it is rude for me to do that without the owner's permission. Thank you!
