Knight Pet Portrait
What makes this portrait different
The Knight Pet Portrait adds a story to your pet's likeness. Their face, markings and expression stay true, while the composition gives them polished armour, a heroic stance and the bearing of a sworn protector. The humour is gentle and the finish refined, so it reads as a witty piece of decor rather than a novelty.
A witty gift for the household's loyal guardian, or for the person who dotes on them.

The Animelier Likeness Promise

Photo guidance
The best portraits begin with a clear, characterful photo. You don't need a professional camera: a good phone photo is perfect. Send it as you order or after checkout, whichever suits you.
For this style: A front-facing or slightly angled head shot with a steady, upright expression works best: think 'on duty' rather than mid-zoomies. Make sure the eyes and face are sharp.
What works best
- Use natural daylight, ideally near a window or outdoors
- Take the photo at your pet's eye level
- Make sure the eyes are sharp and clearly visible
- Choose a photo that shows their true colouring and markings
- Send the original, full-resolution image
What to avoid
- Filters, heavy edits or beauty effects
- Blurry or low-light photos
- Harsh shadows across the face
- Screenshots or images forwarded through messaging apps, which can lose detail
- Photos where the face is partly hidden by objects, people or other pets
Frame options
Every portrait is framed in solid wood with a 21 mm moulding, shatter-resistant acrylic glazing and an MDF backing, ready to hang. The A4 can also stand on a shelf or desk.
Black
A deep, crisp finish that draws a sharp, graphic outline around your portrait. Ideal for contemporary interiors, pale walls and gallery arrangements.
Oak
A warm, natural wood tone that softens the edges of a room. Lovely with timber floors, gentle palettes and relaxed, layered spaces.
White
A clean, bright finish that lets the portrait breathe. Beautiful on painted walls and in light, airy rooms.

FAQ
Will my pet still look like themselves in armour?
Yes. The armour and setting are added, but their face, markings, colouring and expression are kept true. If the proof misses their recognisable features, our Likeness Promise means we correct it at no cost.
Does the Knight style work for cats and small dogs?
Absolutely. We compose the portrait around your pet's own proportions, so a cat or a small dog looks every inch the champion.
Do I need a photo to order?
No. You can upload it on the order form, or choose “Send it later” and reply to the email we send after checkout. If it isn't suitable, we'll ask for another before we start, and we send your private proof within 2 working days of receiving it.
What makes a good photo?
A sharp, well-lit photo taken at your pet's eye level, with the eyes clearly visible and the face unobstructed. Natural daylight is ideal. Avoid filters, heavy shadows, blur and very small or tightly cropped images. Each style also has its own photo tip on its product page.
Will it look like my pet?
That is the whole point. We focus on the features that make your pet recognisable: their eyes, markings, colouring and expression. If your proof doesn't capture them, our Likeness Promise means we correct it at no cost.
Can I make changes to my proof?
Yes. Likeness corrections are covered: if your proof misses their eyes, markings, colouring or expression, we correct it at no cost. One style adjustment is included too, such as warming the background, brightening the image or refining a small detail. Nothing is printed until you approve your portrait.
Can my pet's name be added to the artwork?
Yes, free of charge. Tick the name option on the order form and type the name exactly as you would like it to appear, up to 20 characters. You'll see it on your digital proof before anything is printed.
What sizes are available?
Three sizes, measured as the finished frame: A4 240 × 327 mm (9.4 × 12.9 in), A3 327 × 450 mm (12.9 × 17.7 in) and A2 450 × 624 mm (17.7 × 24.6 in). Every frame is 22 mm deep. Use the size guide on the order form to see them to scale.
What is the frame made from? Is there glass?
A solid wood moulding, 21 mm wide, in a Black, White or Oak finish. Instead of glass we use shatter-resistant 2 mm acrylic glazing, with an MDF backing. Every size has a fixed hanger for the wall, and the A4 also has a stand for a shelf or desk. The artwork is a giclée print with 12-colour pigment inks on 240 gsm matt archival paper.
How long does delivery take?
Free Royal Mail 48 Tracked delivery to the UK. We send your proof within 2 working days of receiving your photo; once approved, your portrait is printed, framed and packed in 3–5 working days and usually arrives 2–5 working days later.
Christmas: order by 8 December and approve your proof by 10 December.
Can I include more than one pet?
Each portrait features one pet. If you share your home with more than one companion, you could order a portrait for each, in matching or complementary styles.
