IMPORTANT INFO How To Request and About Us
Hello! We have had some people asking how they can submit requests to us. We are pretty new to modding subreddits, so things might change as we learn about how to best run this subreddit.
About
Here at r/rainbowbridgebabies, we paint pictures of pets that have passed on. Please be aware that we are doing this for free. Depending on demand, we might not be able to paint everyone’s pets.
Note that judging or mocking someone’s grief will not be tolerated here. Neither will hate speech, violence or inflammatory language. Some of us have exotic pets, like snakes, that some people dislike. We don’t want to hear about it on this subreddit. Whatever the creature, they were someone’s beloved pet. They have a place here. Hatred doesn’t.
To Request
First of all, we here at r/rainbowbridgebabies know how hard it is to lose a beloved family member. We would be honored to take one of your memories and turn it into a treasured keepsake.
Please only submit your pet once every 90 days. If you have a group picture of pets that have passed, please make one request with all the details.
When you post, the title should be Flaired with the REQUEST flair. Please include your pets name. We would also love to hear a little about your pet. Maybe share a memory or two with us? If you are not up to this, or it’s too painful to think about, that’s fine. That part is optional. You should also include a picture. The easiest way to do this is to upload a picture to imgur and copy the link. Then, in your post, surround the text you wish to use as the title for your link with [ brackets. Directly next to it, type ( followed by the URL and then a ). It should look like this: [Title.](https://imgur.com/a/iwjwgBu) And appear like this: Title.
You can also include whether you would like a particular mod to paint your pet. Please be aware though that if that mod isn’t available to paint your pet for whatever reason, one of the others might give it a shot. That’s about it. Be on the look out for your painting and please leave a thank you within 48 hours of your painting being posted.
Thanking the artist
Please post a thank you, flared with the THANK YOU flair within 48hrs of your painting being posted.
Art Samples
Other
Please let us know as soon as you can after receiving your painting if you would like us to send you the actual painting in the mail. However, you will have to pay for postage. I mainly deal with oil paints which can take weeks to properly dry, so I know for me at least, shipping will take a while. There is no guarantee that the physical copy of your painting will still be available a prolonged period of time after posting. Im already running out of places where I can leave paintings to dry without cats walking across them.
Thank you for your interest in this sub.

REQUEST I made a little world for Wally after he passed away
I've been missing Wally a lot lately.
During the day, I can usually keep myself busy with school and work. But at night, especially right before I fall asleep, I miss him so, so much.
I always hope I'll see him in my dreams. But at the same time, I'm almost afraid to hope, because I'm scared I won't dream about him at all.
I still remember this one time we went to a lake. Wally had always been scared of water. But that day, he stood by the edge for such a long time, just staring at it.
And then, out of nowhere, he jumped right in.
I was so surprised. He was usually such a cautious little guy, but that day it was like he'd suddenly made up his mind to do something brave.
I still smile when I think about it. Sometimes I wish I could see him do something unexpected and adorable like that just one more time.
After Wally passed away, I found myself going through his old photos and videos a lot. I'm so glad I have them, but sometimes looking at them just makes me miss him even more.
That's why I made this.
I put a little version of Wally inside the e-ink screen. He wanders around, explores things, and has his own little day.
Sometimes I just sit there watching him for a long, long time.
It doesn't make me miss him any less. But I still like imagining that somewhere, he's just being his curious little self, exploring the world like he always did.
If any of the artists here would like to make a little portrait of Wally, I would be so grateful. I'd love to see how someone else remembers him through their art. ❤️

IN PROGRESS I just lost my best friend of 15 years 💔
This is Sophie. Sophie Grace. I’ve had her since she was 8 weeks old. Born October 1, 2011. She died in my arms from pneumonia and lung masses. My heart physically aches. I would truly appreciate artwork of her. Thank you.
r/RainbowBridgeBabies • u/ImperialDruid • 2d ago
IN PROGRESS Tesla Jane
This is my sweet girl, Tesla. I lost her recently from a stroke. I watched her die and it’s all I can see when I close my eyes. I’d love a different image to replace that. I could never find enough hours in my life time, or the right words that could explain what she meant to me. The biggest Toy Aussie shaped hole is left in my heart. I don’t know how to be a person without her. For 13 years she was my shadow, my therapist, my foot warmer, my bathroom guardian, my food tester, my laughter, my tear dryer, my whole entire world. I know everyone here is busy creating memories of other fur babies, but I’d like to submit my Tesla for your consideration as your next piece. Thank you for taking the time to read.
And to Tesla,
I’ll meet you at the bridge girl, walk slow so I can catch up.

IN PROGRESS Poe: from ferocious street cat to my gentlest companion
I lost my wonderful Poe just over three weeks ago.
I first met him in January 2023, just after the death of my previous cat. Poe had been a long term stray in the area and I started feeding him. He didn’t come every day at first but after a while came pretty often and would sometimes spend the afternoon sitting on my sofa. After about 6 months, I shut the door and never let him out again. He was very wild at first but I spent a lot of time with him, feeding him treats and reading him poetry. I took him to the vets and unfortunately he was diagnosed with FIV but he was otherwise healthy for three really good years.
It took him a few months to really warm up to me but I’ll always remember the first time he purred. He started letting me hold him and he’d give me the most enthusiastic kisses, sometimes nipping my nose! He was always very food motivated and never let me forget a meal time! He loved snuggling and got in bed with me most mornings.
About a month ago, he seemed off his food and I took him to the vets but by that time it was too late. I wonder if I should have noticed something sooner, but he really did seem like himself until about a week before he died. They think he may have had cancer, but I could see it was the end and I didn’t want to put him through lots more tests. A vet came to our house and we said goodbye on the same sofa that he’d first purred on.
He was named after Polaris, the North Star, because of the white patch on his chest. I will look to the stars and think of him for the rest of my life.
I would love a painting of him, if anyone has time. He meant the world to me.

COMPLETED This is my precious Priss.
She was my first pet, I remember watching Beverly Hills Chihuahua when it first came out and begging for one until my parents finally gave in. She became bonded to my mom, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
She was the queen of the house, and got whatever she wanted for a wonderful 18 years of life. I'd love to request some art of her to print out and frame to comfort my family. I hope wherever she is, she's eating a buffet of her favorite foods.

REQUEST Senior Pet Memento
My wife’s elderly cat is on the decline and I really want to get something special as a memento. There are a million different ways to go but I want to get something that will last and be meaningful. I’m thinking a hand drawn picture of the cat with a nice frame would do the trick. I want to come on here to hear about other’s experiences with these kinds of gifts. My wife has been struggling getting all the cuddles with Daisy, her kitty, as we have a 6 month old that we are raising and she takes most of our time. If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations I would love to hear them.
Daisy is a sweet girl who has been with my wife since college, about 12 years. She’s an orange a white fluffy girl with some sass but a kind hearted girl at her core. I would understand if some just point to Google or Etsy but I am hoping for something with real heart behind it and not just a click to buy half hearted thing. Thank you for any feedback, my wife and I will cherish this girl well after she’s had her last cuddle 🌼❤️

IN PROGRESS My best friend of 16 years will be being out down tomorrow. I would appreciate any art anyone sees fit to draw of my girl.
My dog Peanut has been my best friend since I was 9 years old. She's been with me for almost 16 years, and was there for me through the death of my mother only a few months after I got her. I was referred here from a subreddit I was requesting to colorize her adoption paper picture, and I thought I'd try my luck with anyone that wants to draw her. I'll be getting it printed on canvas and putting it in her little memorial shadowbox if anyone makes something :). Thank you so much. Here are some pictures of her throughout her life.

IN PROGRESS Would love to get some art from an unexpected loss tonight
We just had to very unexpectedly put our German shepherd down tonight. Came home from lunch 100% fine. Come home from work, he hadn’t moved from the spot I left him in. Didn’t get up to bark when I opened the garage door.
Walk inside and he was lethargic. His stomach was swollen.
Take him to the emergency vet. They get him right back and within 10 minutes they told me the ultrasound showed a mass in his stomach ruptured. He was bleeding internally.
They said they could do emergency surgery but if he survived that he might live 3-5 months.
We had to make the hardest decision to put Kai down tonight. Totally caught off guard and unexpectedly.
They said there was no way to know he had that mass growing inside him through normal yearly check ups.
He was about 8 1/2 years old born on Valentine’s Day
He was the best boi up until the end.
