Does a Custom Pet Portrait Include Revisions? · Lily & Hendrix
Quick Summary
Yes, a custom pet portrait includes revisions during the free preview stage, before anything is printed. You can request changes to features like the eyes, fur colour or ears, and see the adjusted version before deciding what to buy. A real person reviews every portrait.
- Nothing physical is printed until you have approved the portrait, since physical products are made to order.
- Give feedback on one or two specific things, such as eye colour or ear shape, rather than vague comments.
- Compare your requests against your original photo so the next version moves in the right direction.
- Keep revisions to one or two rounds, since a real person reviews every portrait.
- If your date is tight, choose the digital file, which you can print locally at your own pace.

What Revisions Mean for a Custom Pet Portrait
At Be Artistic Club, every portrait starts as a free preview made from your photo, and you can see that preview before you decide what to buy. Knowing what the preview shows can help you decide what to buy.
If you are still choosing a look, the Personalised Pet Portrait uploader is a good place to start.
How the Proof Stage Works Before Anything Is Printed
Nothing physical is printed until you have seen the portrait. Physical products are made to order.
Here is the general flow:
- Upload one clear photo and choose a style.
- Review the free preview.
- Choose a digital file, poster, canvas or framed print.
- Check the final artwork before continuing to checkout.

Choosing the Right Photo for Your Pet's Portrait
A bright, sharp image where your pet's face is clearly visible is recommended. Natural light works best.
Avoid screenshots, heavy filters, and photos where your pet is small or partly hidden. With two or more subjects, such as a dog and its owner, make sure every face is clear. If you are unsure, browse the royal oil dog portrait or the two of us dog and owner portrait.
How to Give Feedback That Gets Your Pet Right
"It doesn't look like her" is hard to act on. "Her ears are too pointed and her eyes should be a lighter brown" gives a clear direction for the next version.
A useful way to write feedback is to name one or two things, not ten:
- The feature that is off, such as the eyes, fur colour or ear shape.
- What it should look like instead, using a comparison to your original photo.
- Whether you want the style kept the same or changed.
A short checklist before you hit send
Run through this list once. It takes two minutes and saves a round of edits.
- Eyes. Are they the right colour, shape and expression? Eyes carry the likeness more than anything else.
- Markings. The white sock, the blaze on the nose, the patch over one eye, name each one and say if it is missing or in the wrong spot.
- Fur colour and tone. Say "more golden, less grey" rather than "warmer".
- Ears. Upright, folded, one up one down. Small changes here change the whole face.
- Expression. Goofy, serious, soft. If the portrait reads too stern for a dog who was always a clown, say so.
- Background. Too busy, too dark, or the wrong colour for the room it will hang in.
- Framing. Too much space above the head, or the face sitting too small in the frame.
Worked examples you can copy
Here is the difference between a note that stalls and a note that moves things forward.
| Instead of this | Try this |
|---|---|
| "The eyes are wrong." | "Her eyes should be a lighter amber, see the photo, they catch the light. Right now they read too dark." |
| "It doesn't look like him." | "His left ear folds down and the right stays up. That's the thing everyone recognises. Can we fix the ears?" |
| "Make it warmer." | "The fur is more honey than brown in real life. Could the chest be a touch lighter?" |
| "I don't like the background." | "The background is a bit busy behind the head. Could it be softer so her face stands out?" |
Keep it to one or two rounds

Turnaround Times and How Revisions Affect Delivery
Upload a photo and you will see a free preview in about a minute.
Physical items are made to order. Posters, canvases and framed prints are printed in-region by Gelato, with delivery in 3 to 5 days.
Where revisions fit in the timeline
Think of it as three stages:
- Preview stage. You see the portrait, request changes, and see the adjusted version. This is the flexible part. Nothing is printed, nothing is locked in.
- Approval stage. You are happy with the artwork and choose your format, digital file, poster, canvas or framed print.
- Production and delivery stage. The approved artwork goes to print, then ships. Changes here are much harder, because the item is already being made.
How much time to allow
If you have a date in mind, a birthday, an anniversary, a gotcha day, work backwards. If you are the kind of person who needs to sit with a picture for a day before deciding, build that day in too.
Digital versus physical, timing-wise
You get the finished digital artwork to keep, print and share, and there is no shipping step. Physical formats have 3 to 5 day delivery.
Starting Your Custom Pet Portrait From Photo
Browse the cat portrait gift styles if you have a cat, or look at the custom dog portrait from photo options for a dog.
A real person reviews every portrait before it goes further, so you can expect careful attention to your pet's face and markings.
