This is a custom hand-painted pet portrait, created by a real artist on canvas from your photo. Every piece is painted stroke by stroke — not AI, not a print — so you can see and feel the brushwork in person. Whether you're celebrating a dog, cat, or a beloved pet waiting at the rainbow bridge, each portrait is made to honor the bond you share. You'll also receive a short painting process video, so you can watch your pet come to life.
Materials & Craft
Painted by hand on premium canvas with artist-grade acrylics and selected oil details. We start by reviewing your photo, then send a digital preview. Once you approve, our artists paint layer by layer. No shortcuts, no auto-generation — just real hands, real brushes, real artistry.
Production & Shipping
• Preview: Your artwork preview arrives in 2 business days.
• Hand-painting: About 7-10 business days after you approve the preview.
• Shipping: Free worldwide shipping on all orders.
• Delivery after dispatch: Estimated transit time is 8 business days after dispatch to supported destinations. A tracking number is emailed to you once your order ships.
Satisfaction Guarantee
You're in the driver's seat. We send you a preview before we start painting, and another look before we ship. If the eyes, colors, or expression need adjusting, just tell us — we don't ship until you say yes. Because every piece is custom-made, we can't accept returns after shipping, but you approve the final piece before it ever leaves the studio.

YOUR PET PORTRAIT ADVISORY
Complimentary one on one guidance from your portrait advisor. We help you choose the best photo, style, and size for your custom piece, and stay with you through the whole process to make every detail feel true to your furry family member.
Your pet portrait is a lifelong treasure. Created manually by a pet-loving artist, this painting lets you review and adjust every detail during creation, capturing your pet’s true eyes, fur and personality. It is not a digital print or AI render — it holds a soul that prints cannot replicate.
Does the king portrait work for both dogs and cats?
Yes. The artist adapts your pet’s face, coat, and markings to the royal composition shown on the page.
Will my pet still look recognizable in the king costume?
Yes. The costume and pose create the royal theme, while the artist prioritizes your pet’s eyes, muzzle, ears, coat colors, and distinctive markings. You review the preview before production.
Is this portrait hand-painted or printed?
It is painted by hand on physical canvas after you approve the artist-prepared preview. Visible brushwork is part of the finished artwork; it is not a flat printed reproduction.
What kind of photo works best?
Use a clear, well-lit photo with the face in focus and the eyes, ears, coat colors, and important markings visible. Phone photos are fine. If your best photo is imperfect, upload it and we will review it before painting begins.
Can I review the portrait and request changes?
Yes. An initial preview usually arrives within 1–2 business days. Tell us what needs adjusting, and we will include free revisions before production. Painting begins after approval, and the finished artwork is shown again before shipping.
Will my hand-painted pet portrait arrive in time for a birthday or Christmas?
First preview in 2 business days, with full support along the way. Share any special dates with us before you order. We’ll do our best to fit your timeline.
Is this a good gift?
Yes, if the recipient enjoys playful character portraits and the style shown on this page. If you are unsure about their taste in costumes or themes, a realistic portrait is usually the safer choice.

Obsessed with the insane artwork! Hung it instantly 10/10
El retrato ha quedado increíble, y el proceso de hacer el pedido y enviar la foto ha sido muy sencillo.
La atención al cliente ha sido muy receptiva, aceptó cambiar el estilo después de realizar la compra y me reembolsó la diferencia de precio enseguida; se lo regalé a una persona y le encantó, recomiendo mucho esta tienda.
The communication was seamless, and every little detail I asked to adjust was handled with so much care. I’m utterly in love with the finished piece! ❤️🐾”
I sent them a photo of my boy the day I brought him home, when he wasn't even a year old yet. He's grown so much since then that I'd almost forgotten what his little face looked like as a puppy, and this portrait brought it right back. He even goes over and sits by it like he recognizes himself. On top of that, they sent a short clip of the whole process being made! I'm so happy with how it turned out, thank you Luminipet!!
I was so impressed with how well the portrait of my cat turned out. They highlighted her features with different shades and really created a great likeness!
I was worried that putting all five cats in one portrait would make it look crowded, but they nailed it. Each cat still has their own personality, and the whole thing feels balanced instead of busy. Way better than I expected.
