Your dog, shades on, halfway through an iced latte
Coffee Sip is the café regular of the collection: sunglasses on, iced latte within reach, and the unbothered air of a dog who has claimed the best table.

What is in the scene
Your dog sits behind a small round marble café table, front paws resting on the top and mouth on the straw of a tall iced latte in a clear cup. They wear small round black sunglasses and a navy paisley bandana, and a warm pendant lamp from the upper left lights the fur, leaving a thin bright edge along the head and back. Made with your dog, the room itself is left out: behind them there are only two or three dim amber lamps, out of focus, and then darkness.
The photo that gets the best Coffee Sip
Shoot at your dog's eye level rather than down from human height - the straw has to meet a mouth, and a top-down photo gives it nowhere to sit. Daylight near a window is plenty. Do not put real sunglasses on your dog for the photo: the preset adds its own, and anything covering the eyes in your upload takes information away from the part of the face that has to stay recognisably theirs.
The full list is on the photo guidelines page - good light, face visible, one pet, and nothing covering the eyes.
How it prints
Made to order, Coffee Sip is keyed into a dark shirt rather than printed as a picture on top of one. Ink goes down only where the artwork is lighter than the fabric, so the black around your dog is bare shirt, and where the lamplight falls away the image breaks into solid dots instead of stopping at a box edge. Black is its home: the cream foam, the caramel of the latte and the pale veins in the marble look lit against it. True navy is the softer alternative, though there the darkest parts - the lenses, a black coat - take on the navy of the shirt.
The preview lets you switch between every shirt colour this design is offered in, so you can compare them before you decide.

Coffee Sip questions
Will the sunglasses hide my dog's face?＋
They cover the eyes, the same way real sunglasses would. Everything that makes your dog identifiable to the people who know them - muzzle shape, coat, markings, ear set - is still drawn from your photo.
My dog would never sit at a café table. Does that matter?＋
Not at all. You are not photographing the scene, you are uploading one clear head-on photo; the table, the latte and the lamplight are drawn around it.
Can I use this preset for a cat?＋
Yes. Coffee Sip works with any pet whose face is clearly visible in the photo. If you have two pets, each one gets its own portrait.
