Common Questions
Honest answers, before you sit.
Yes. Likeness is our hard rule. Every prompt is built around preserving bone structure, exact eye color, brow shape, nose, mouth, hair, age, ethnicity, freckles, and expression. The setting and the surface change — your face does not. If a preview ever drifts off-likeness, the regeneration is free.
82 painted styles across 14 curated worlds — Renaissance Masters, Rococo & Baroque, Grand Manner, Royalty & Court, Royalty & State Portraits, Heroic & Romantic, Master Portraits, Divine & Mythic, Romantic & Pre-Raphaelite, Modern Fine Art, The Jazz Age, Editorial, Master Photographers, Whimsical. Every style is available as a solo portrait or a double portrait with a second sitter.
Pick a style, upload one clear reference photo, and you receive four watermarked previews — two interpretations from two different fine-tuned painting engines, one faithful, one idealized. Spend nothing until you find a version you love.
Your purchase tier — Digital, Full Pack, Giclée print, Canvas, or Float-Framed — defines the deliverable. Digital tiers give you a high-resolution download with a personal-use license. Physical tiers add the printed object itself, produced on Hahnemühle fine-art paper or museum-grade stretched canvas with archival pigment inks rated for 100+ years of fade resistance.
Yes — every style has a double-portrait variant. The second sitter can be a partner, parent, friend, or a beloved companion animal. Both are rendered with the same painterly care as the primary sitter: features, coloring, and distinctive details preserved exactly from the reference photograph.
Digital previews appear in under three minutes. Final digital files are available immediately on purchase. Giclée prints ship in 5–7 business days. Canvas and float-framed pieces ship in 10–14 business days. Everything is produced on demand — nothing sits in a warehouse.
A clear, well-lit photograph where the face is unobstructed and the eyes are open. Daylight is better than flash. Phone cameras are absolutely fine — we are not looking for a studio shot, we are looking for an honest reference. Group photos can be cropped to the sitter; sunglasses and heavy filters should be avoided.
Yes — fine-tuned generative painting engines do the rendering, directed by carefully built style prompts and a likeness-first system that locks the sitter's features. We are upfront about it. What we are NOT is a "stick your photo in a filter" service — the artistic direction, the style library, and the prompt architecture took thousands of iterations to get right.
Yes — all-over-print tees, crewnecks, and hoodies, with the painting wrapping seam-to-seam in dye-sublimation. It's an unusual second life for a portrait, and it's become a beloved gift category. See the product range under Apparel.
A small studio of designers, painters, and engineers working out of the Pacific Northwest. The aesthetic direction comes from a long obsession with grand-manner portraiture, the painters of the long 19th century, and the question: what if everyone could sit for a portrait the way only royals once could?
