Bat ears, flat face, entire personality — kept
A frenchie's face is mostly features: the ears, the wrinkle above the nose, the underbite. Those are the first things a generic illustration smooths away, and the first things you'd notice missing. Working from your photo keeps them.

How this coat prints
Frenchies are short-coated, so there is very little fur texture to carry a print — almost all of the character lives in shape and shadow. That works in your favour on a shirt: a strongly lit frenchie head reads cleanly at any size, which is why brindle and pied frenchies print so well even on small chest placements.
The photo to use
This is the one breed where the flat face genuinely changes the advice: shoot straight on, at eye level, or the muzzle vanishes entirely and you get a face with no middle. Both ears in frame — a frenchie photographed at three-quarters loses one ear behind the head, and that ear is half the silhouette. Soft light from the front so the wrinkles read as folds instead of dark blobs.

Questions
My frenchie is black. Will the face just be a dark shape?
It's the single hardest case and we've built for it. Shoot in soft, even light — never bright sun — and the eyes, nose and wrinkles separate properly. If you use One Ink, we restrict that look to shirts dark enough for the print to read.
Will the bat ears be the right shape?
They come from your photo, so yes — as long as both are visible in the shot. A photo taken from the side is where ears go wrong.
Can I get my frenchie's exact brindle pattern?
The pattern carries through on the photoreal presets. On heavily stylised looks it's simplified, which is the nature of the style — you'll see it in the free preview either way.
