Halftone dots, heavy outlines, one very loud portrait
Pop Art is the most legible style we make. It is the one that still reads from the far side of a bar, which is a genuinely different design goal from the rest of the catalogue.

The style samples share one golden retriever wherever they can (the astronaut is a beagle), so you can compare all 10 mediums like for like.
How Pop Art is drawn
A single portrait bust in comic-book technique: mechanical halftone dots for tone, heavy black outlines, and a two-tone complementary colour treatment. One subject only - no Warhol grid, no repeated panels. That grid used to creep in from an old reference image and the style is now explicitly drawn against it.
Which pets it suits
High-contrast faces. Halftone describes tone with dots rather than gradients, so a dog with clear markings - a mask, a blaze, patches - gets a much stronger picture than a uniformly coloured one. Straight-on photos beat angled ones, because the style is built on the frontality of comic panels.
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
Halftone is a printing technique to begin with, so it behaves perfectly as ink on fabric - the dots hold their edges and the heavy outlines survive the weave. Pop Art is made for light shirts, because the black outlines are half of the style: keyed into a white or ivory tee, the outlines and the two-tone colour print, and anything as pale as the fabric is simply left as bare shirt.
Every design prints at a 12-inch chest placement on a 16-colour garment range - the mockups above use the real print box.

Pop Art questions
Will I get four panels like a Warhol print?＋
No. This style is drawn as one subject - no grid, no panels, no repeated copies. One portrait bust, filling the print.
Is there a speech bubble or comic text?＋
No lettering is drawn. The optional text field on the create page is the reliable way to add words above or below the artwork.
My dog is solid black. Will this work?＋
It will work, but a two-tone treatment has less to grip. Photo Real or Watercolor usually flatter a solid-coloured coat more - and previewing all three costs nothing.

Mostly the same dog, a different medium each time - that is the whole point of these samples.
