About this style Read more

A muted, scholarly palette and low, warm light, closer to an old university library than a studio backdrop. Their features stay sharp against the dark ground; nothing gets softened for the mood, and the effect reads more like a family portrait handed down than a filter.

Printed on cotton canvas, framed in black, dark wood or natural wood, in three sizes from 30 × 40 cm to 60 × 80 cm.

You see the portrait on the page and approve it before you order, and every order is checked before it goes to print.

It suits a study, a book-lined room, or any wall where the light already runs low.

Questions

Before you order

Will it actually look like my pet?
That is the whole job. The portrait has to show your animal's own markings and face, not a generic pet in a style. You see it before you pay, so you can compare it with your photo yourself. If it does not look like them, regenerate it, free, or don't order it.
What photo should I send?
One clear shot of their face, taken front on, in good daylight, with both ears fully inside the frame. Phone photos are fine. Avoid heavy shadow, motion blur, and anything shot from far away or from above.
Can I have two pets in one portrait?
Each portrait is made for one pet, so we can get their face exactly right. For two or more, order a portrait of each: two portraits are 10% off, three are 15%.
What if I don't like the preview?
Ask again. Regenerating is free, up to five times, and nothing is charged or printed until you approve a version.
How are the portraits made?
Your photo is turned into artwork by an image model. You see the result on the page before you order, and every order is checked before it goes to print. Nobody paints or draws it by hand, and we will not pretend otherwise. The care goes into the likeness: markings, ear shape and face, which you compare with your own photo before you order.
Will the print match my screen?
Closely, not exactly. A screen is lit from behind and a print is not, so colors on canvas and paper sit a little deeper and softer, most of all in dark backgrounds. Markings, details and composition stay the same.
When will it arrive?
Every order is checked before it goes to print. It is printed in the region you are ordering from and shipped to you. Delivery takes 5 to 6 working days in total, and shipping is included in the price.
Can I return it?
Each portrait is made to order, so it can't be returned for a change of mind. If it arrives damaged or is not the version you approved, tell us within 30 days of delivery and we will reprint it or refund you.
