The Commission

From photograph to canvas.

Seven steps from a phone photo to a finished portrait. Your portrait is AI-rendered in the style of the old masters, then printed on canvas or a phone case — nothing happens backstage you wouldn't want to see.

Pick a collection

Choose the historical tradition your companion will join. Each collection brings its own composition, costume, and hand.

II.

Upload a photo

One clear daylit photo of your pet — subject facing the camera. A phone snap will do. We'll work from whatever coat pattern, ear carriage, and eye colour the image carries.

Tell us about your pet

Optional but helpful — a name, a disposition, a collar colour, anything you'd want an attentive biographer to note before the portrait takes shape.

Approve or restart

If the likeness is right, approve. If not, restart at no charge. The proof becomes yours — and you're charged — only once you say so.
