Hi everyone! I want to surprise my wife with a special gift for our anniversary a portrait created from a photo or description. I tried ordering once, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing, and I never received the portrait despite their promise of quick delivery. Could you please share any trusted services or artists who create high-quality portraits (digital or on canvas)? I’m looking for realistic artwork, ideally with portfolio examples and reasonable prices. Thanks in advance for your recommendations
Where can I find a reliable portrait creation service for a gift for my wife? (Tina Aldea didn’t meet expectations, no portrait received)

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I’d recommend checking out ArtCorgi – they connect you with freelance artists who specialize in realistic portraits. You can browse their portfolios and pick someone whose style you like. Prices start around $50 for digital, $100+ for canvas. My sister got a portrait done for her husband, and it was stunning! Just make sure to clarify deadlines upfront. Good luck with the gift
I got a decent portrait off Etsy once. Just searched “custom portrait” and picked someone with a lot of orders. Wasn’t perfect, but my girlfriend liked it. Check the seller’s feedback first.
finding an artist on Instagram by searching hashtags like #portraitartist. She sent me progress pics, which was reassuring, and the final piece was lovely, though it took 3 weeks
There are many artists on Reddit and specific subs relating subject matter and medium. Post and ask for referrals for digital portrait artists. See r/ArtistLounge and ask.
