First, who are we making?
Three questions. The photos are what matter.
No pose to pick. The preview is always a front-on sit, so you can judge the likeness. Walking, loafing, sleeping and the rest get chosen after payment, in "Pick moves".
Step 1 of 6 — free until step 4
Their photos
One clear front-on photo is required; more angles mean a closer match. We tested it: one photo caught 1 marking, four caught 6.

Making the preview
We'll email you when it's ready, and this page updates on its own — feel free to close it. This step is free.
Preview · small, watermarked
This is a low-res preview. After payment you get it in full resolution, no watermark, and moving.
Every move we make grows out of this one look. If it's them, carry on. If not, redo it with other photos — free.
