Hat, bandana, and a desert sunset doing the heavy lifting
Cowboy is the warmest style in the catalogue - an entire picture built out of two accessories and a sky.

Every style sample on this site is the same golden retriever, so you can compare all 12 mediums like for like.
How Cowboy is drawn
Your pet wears a western hat and bandana against a desert sunset, rendered in warm tones throughout. There is no graphic trick to it: the style is carried by the colour temperature, which is why it feels less like a costume than most dress-up portraits do.
Which pets it suits
Golden and red coats are the obvious winners, since the sunset amplifies what is already there. Cream and white dogs pick up the warm light beautifully too. A slightly raised chin composes best under a brim - a level or lifted head photo rather than one looking down.
Whatever the medium, identity outranks it: the generator is told never to change breed, face shape, coat colour, markings, eye colour or ears. The photo guidelines cover what to upload.
How it prints
Warm sunset colour on a warm garment is the rare case where matching beats contrasting: terracotta and yam both extend the sky past the edge of the print, so the artwork stops looking like a rectangle stuck on a shirt. Black works, but you lose that effect entirely.
Every design prints at a 12-inch chest placement on a 16-colour garment range - the mockups above use the real print box.

Cowboy questions
How is this different from the All-American look?＋
All-American is a preset scene - brown cowboy hat, flag bandana, a glass soda bottle, drawn in the house photoreal look. This is a full western style with a desert sunset as the whole colour world.
Will the hat brim shadow my dog's eyes?＋
The style lights from the sunset behind and fills the face from the front, so the eyes stay readable. Uploading a photo with the face already in shadow is the thing that undermines it.
What does it cost and what is included?＋
$34.99 for the printed shirt, free US shipping, and no charge for generating or previewing the artwork beforehand.
