How it works for your Burmese

Upload 1–5 photos of your Burmese — clear face shots work best.

We map their identity: exact coat colors, markings, ear set and eye color.

Your chosen styles are painted and likeness-checked against the photos, then delivered in hours.

Burmese portrait questions

Will the portrait really look like my Burmese?

We treat likeness as the whole job. Before painting, we record what makes your Burmese specific — coat texture, sable, champagne, blue markings, head shape — and afterwards every take is scored against your photo. Anything that reads as "some Burmese" instead of yours gets painted again before you see it.

My Burmese has unusual markings — can you keep them?

That detail is exactly what we keep. Its glossy, satin coat glows richly under the warm light of a vintage-studio portrait. Owners recognise their cat by the irregularities, so those are recorded first and are the first thing the likeness check looks for.

Which photos work best for a Burmese portrait?

Shoot at their eye level in daylight and skip the flash. A short, satin, close-lying coat coat shows markings clearly in diffuse light. If your Burmese will not hold still, a burst of photos and picking the sharpest works fine.

Which styles suit a Burmese best?

Any style works, though character matters. A Burmese tends to be affectionate, playful, so the three recommended above tend to land best — the scene supports the cat rather than competing with them.
