The team where super easy to work with and I am super pleased with the outcome
Mastering the art is not an easy skill that everyone has the time or patience to get right. Here are 3 quick tips on what we like to see in your photos. The right photo can help speed up the process and make it easier for our artists to make your painting legendary.
Selfies are an integral part of what we do at Nobilified. The first question of “Where can I get a painting of myself?” is soon followed by how can I take the perfect photo of myself. Even though selfies have been around for 5 or so years, some people still have a little difficulty taking that perfect shot.
Everybody’s doing it: from regular people and film stars to TV presenters and even politicians – everyone likes to see a nice picture of themselves! But taking a great selfie is not that easy, and there are a few things you should know when creating a perfect selfie picture. That’s why we gathered a couple of rules you need to follow to make a great selfie of yourself
Good angle is crucial!
Before you take a selfie, turn on the camera and check your best angle; you can even take a few photos and look at the pictures to decide (is it your left side or maybe your profile etc). The good idea is to keep your camera a bit higher as from above your face looks slimmer and from a lower angle you may get a double chin. Additionally focus the camera on your face and tilt your head not to make your neck look too thick. Make sure to take the selfie from a similar angle as the painting of your choice. Having the perfect personalized painting usually starts with the perfect photo and angles are everything.
Show off!
Take a selfie of your new haircut, new necklace and we will make sure to have it painted into your painting. Do you want to show off your new piercing or tattoo? Napoleon might not have had a tattoo, but he could have. The Mona Lisa didn’t have a nose piercing, but she could have.
Expression, expression, expression!
Smiling is always a good idea, but you can also try surprised look or looking the other way. Of course, the more natural your look is, the better the photo will be. Furthermore, remember to keep your arm further away because close up selfies just don’t look that great. Do you want to have a cheeky smile or a serious face? Make our artists lives easier and pose for the painting.
Getting a painting of yourself has never been easier.

I do love the picture .. I printed off straight away. I felt I belonged to that era when I saw the great job using just my face.
You deliver as promised - 4 years in a row.
The portrait is amazing, we couldn't be happier! The Artist did an incredible job and the frame and presentation is brilliant. Mike helped make sure it arrived before Christmas despite the work load and the package arrived December 23rd! This is the 2nd portrait I've ordered from you guys in the past few years. Makes the perfect gift and family heirloom!
This was the perfect Christmas gift. I ordered a hand-painted portrait of my husband with our German Shepherd, and the result was absolutely stunning! The detail and care that went into the painting are remarkable. It genuinely captured both his expression and our dog’s personality. This is our second custom piece from Nobilified, and once again the quality and artistry were exceptional. These paintings bring so much joy into our home, and we will absolutely be ordering more for each of our pets :)
Fantastic work. I had some feedback on the face and it was fixed with no push back. 10/10, will buy again
Came perfect as developed.
Absolutely love the painting!! This is our second painting and the artists never cease to amaze us!
Amazing customer service, responsiveness, quality and likeness! This was the best present ever given to my son - he absolutely loved it!
Very fun gift and Perry was very happy with it. Family heirloom on full display in the dining room!
We're so happy with the painting, it turned out great! The communication and ordering was overall an easy experience. Thank you again!
Nobilified was easy to work with and very accommodating. The painting turned out great and looked just like the picture we sent in. I'll continue ordering from them and highly recommend them for others to use as well.
Very easy to deal with. After a couple of changes/improvements and Voila! Great piece of Art!
I absolutely LOVE my painting. I bought it for myself for Christmas. The dog in the photo is one who passed away in August. Now I just have to look up from my work desk and I see my beloved Prince Caspian with me in a photo where I look like the King of England. I live in a historic mansion so the painting fits perfectly in my home---I framed it in an old antique frame so everyone thinks it is a genuine historic painting of a relative of mine. Thanks for making me smile! I definitely will be ordering again!
Wonderful way to memorialise my doggo, and our heads were painted seamlessly into the layout of the painting
3rd order and every time amazing!
Thrilled with the painting! It’s the second one we have in our home. They worked to get the right look of my wife and perfected our dog. We will certainly have more paintings done in the future. Communication was great. The entire experience with the company is top tier.
I have purchased over 15 of these beautiful and humorous paintings for friends and family. If you want a laugh, here is a link to how I surprised my friends and another on how I surprised my family. Watch them FREAK OUT!! You'll need top cut and paste them into your browser. https://youtu.be/a-bWFiEgMcU https://youtu.be/tY2-RynXiBY
Painting arrived safe and secured and looked amazing, my friend loved it. Would definitely buy again.
The painting looks incredible, the artist did it better than I could ever imagine. Just be aware you might have to pay some fee to import the piece depending on your country. I am definitely going to order more portraits in the future.
The initial images were emailed to me for approval. The portrait had some small details that I wanted to change. Nobilified made it easy and the changes were exactly as I had hoped. Great job. This is our third purchase from them and I expect to send them an annual order (we are using this as a teaching award).
From start to finish the whole process was really smooth and simple. Once they start to actually paint it they are very friendly and will guide you through the entire to make sure you get exactly what you want. It took a bit to get here and I wouldn’t recommend it as a birthday gift because getting pictures can be hard but if you have a lot of vanity like my brother this is perfect for you.
Shipping was very slow to arrive. Overall satisfied with the product, quite well executed. Some bits of dirt or dried off paint seemed ti come off when unrolling it from the packaginc, I was afraid it might have been damaged. They enjoyed the gift. Photo is only of temporary display solution, it’s been sent to a craftsman to be framed
Amazing!!! This was a wedding gift for my brother and his now wife- it was priceless to see their reaction!!! They loved it and I loved how it turned out. The artist retouched my brother's pic after I asked them to. I was so grateful! Even google facial recognition matched the picture and my brother. 🤣 Bravo! It's my second piece from you. I think you should also let us know about the artist that did the piece also! We know nothing about them.
It was so easy. I sent the photo, and the proof was perfect on the first example. It arrived faster than I expected and was so impressed with the result. Love it! Because my name is Charlotte, I thought the choice of royalty with the same name was "meant to be".
Everything was great! Great communication from the painter to me, to when it was going to be delivered. IDEAL gift for anyone!
mike was a doll, very pleasant experience, painting came out beautiful. i got exactly what i wanted. the colors really pop
Customer service was great! It was very easy to email back and forth to get the painting exactly how I wanted. They made sure to show me an idea of what the painting would look like with a photoshopped version prior to them painting it so I could make changes if needed. This was a Christmas gift to my fiance and he absolutely loved it and our friends and family got a nice giggle out the whole thing. They even asked where they could get a painting at! We are very very very happy with the outcome! Thank you!!
Nothing but awesome.
I got this for My wife and my first Christmas together as a married couple, she loved it! The craftsmanship is amazing and Mike the artist was fantastic to work with. I ordered the rolled canvas and framed the piece myself. 11/10 stars, would definitely recomend to anyone who's thinking of getting this done!
Turned out great!
This is the best gift I have ever given. My husband was blown away. Our humble house feels like a castle now that we have what looks like an aristocratic ancestor on the wall. We are so grateful to our artist. He did a tremendous job!
It’s so good! I am still waiting on getting it back from the framer (order yours framed if you don’t want to wait) and I can’t wait to give it to my boyfriend. Very professional and even better than expected. Thank you!
I love my painting. I feel very happy when I look at it.
Painting came on time and the overall process was even faster than expected. Communication was good and the painters were quite excellent at making the changes I desired. The likeness of the face was also good based on the photos sent. Perhaps a bit costly for some but definitely worth every cent. Absolutely recommend.
Always so difficult to get something for your parents when they have most things they need already so decided to try and get a great portrait for my dad, and one of the first ones to come up were Nobilified. I am super happy with the result after sending two photos, the face likeness was perfectly transferred onto canvas. My dad was certainly surprised yet quite excited to have this on display and already has it in a frame!
Had extra cash, recently bought a new home, decided to take a chance. They knocked it out of the park. First draft wasn’t what I was going for and they quickly made the changes I asked free of charge. Couldn’t be happier with final product.
My wife and I absolutely love seeing our girls in our very own personalized Renoir! Nobilified was very easy and pleasant to work with and created a fun masterpiece that we enjoy looking at daily. Specifically, they worked with us to ensure that the painting captured the look and feel that we envisioned. We combined Renoir’s Two Sisters (On the Terrace) with Girl With Whip to create “Three Sisters (On the Terrace).” I love the unique gift of art and would highly recommend this website!
This painting is already a center piece for our family and friends. Everyone one loves sitting in our smoking room and talking about it while we relax.
I absolutely love it, seeing the future wife roll her eyes whilst simultaneously crying with laughter at my latest crackpot idea made it worth every single penny. Will definitely use again!
