Minskin portrait questions

Will the portrait really look like my Minskin?

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

My Minskin has unusual markings — can you keep them?

They stay. Its tiny stature and sparse coat give it a curious sprite-like look perfect for a wizard's familiar portrait. Because the passport is written before any painting happens, asymmetric markings survive the stylisation instead of being tidied away into a "typical" Minskin.

Which photos work best for a Minskin portrait?

Daylight, eye level, face clearly visible — that is genuinely enough. With a mostly hairless, fine points coat, avoid harsh overhead light so the markings stay visible. One straight-on photo plus one slight angle gives the studio everything it needs.

Which styles suit a Minskin best?

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