How to Commission a Custom AI Portrait

At Kex Art, we offer a unique service where you can commission a custom AI-generated portrait tailored to your preferences. While our portraits are AI-generated, not hand-painted, they are crafted with care and precision to meet your artistic vision. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to commission your custom AI portrait.

1. Provide a Detailed Brief

The first step in commissioning a custom AI portrait is to provide us with a detailed brief. This will serve as the foundation for creating your artwork. Here’s what you should include in your brief:

  • Subject: Describe who or what the portrait should depict. This could be a person, a pet, or even a fictional character.
  • Style: Indicate the artistic style you prefer. Whether it’s abstract, realistic, impressionistic, or futuristic, let us know your preference.
  • Color Palette: Specify any particular colors you would like to see in the portrait. You can also mention any colors you wish to avoid.
  • Mood and Atmosphere: Describe the mood or atmosphere you want the portrait to convey. Is it meant to be serene, vibrant, melancholic, or whimsical?
  • Additional Elements: If there are any specific elements you want to include, such as accessories, backgrounds, or symbols, please mention them.

Providing a comprehensive brief will help us understand your vision and create a portrait that aligns with your expectations.

2. Sending References

To further refine your vision, we recommend sending us references. These can be images, artworks, or photographs that capture the style, mood, or elements you are aiming for. Here’s how you can use references effectively:

  • Style References: Include images of artworks that showcase the style you want. This could be a painting, a digital artwork, or even a photograph.
  • Mood References: Share images that evoke the mood or atmosphere you desire. This could be a scene from a movie, a photograph, or a painting.
  • Color Palette References: Provide images that feature the color palette you have in mind. This will help us understand the tones and hues you prefer.

You can send these references to us via email or through our website. The more references you provide, the better we can tailor the portrait to your liking.

3. The Two-Concept Stage

Once we have your brief and references, our team will create two initial AI-generated concepts for your review. These concepts will be based on the information and references you provided. Here’s what to expect:

  • Reviewing the Concepts: You will receive two distinct AI-generated portraits. Take your time to review them and consider how well they align with your vision.
  • Feedback: Provide feedback on both concepts. Let us know what you like and what you would like to change. This feedback will guide us in refining the portrait.

Remember, this is a collaborative process, and your input is crucial in achieving the desired outcome.

4. One Refinement

After receiving your feedback, we will refine one of the concepts based on your preferences. This is your opportunity to fine-tune the portrait to better match your vision. Here’s how it works:

  • Refinement Details: Specify the changes you would like to see. This could be adjustments to the color palette, style, mood, or any other element.
  • Review the Refined Portrait: Once the refinement is complete, you will receive the updated portrait for review. This is your chance to see the changes and provide any additional feedback.

5. Approval

After the refinement, you will have the final opportunity to approve the portrait. If you are satisfied with the result, we will proceed to the next step. If not, we can make further adjustments until you are happy with the portrait.

6. Print Options

Once approved, you can choose from a range of print options for your custom AI portrait. Our prints are of high quality and available in various sizes. Here are some of the options:

  • Canvas Prints: For a classic, textured look.
  • Framed Prints: Available in different frame styles and colors.
  • Poster Prints: A cost-effective option for larger sizes.
  • Acrylic Prints: For a modern, glossy finish.

Prices for prints start at ₹4,000 and go up to ₹11,500, depending on the size and type of print you choose. There is no deposit required; you only pay upon approval.

At Kex Art, we are committed to providing you with a seamless and enjoyable experience in commissioning your custom AI portrait. We look forward to bringing your vision to life.
