The process

How it works

Two studios behind one idea — one’s instant, one’s a proper commission.

  3. 3Pick your favourite, add a name to the mug if you like (optional), and order — no approval needed.
Rolling Render — Car & BikeStudio proof · money-back

Art, not a filter

Your portrait is created by our own bespoke rendering studio, and audited for quality by our system before it ever reaches you — with every Rolling Render (car & bike) reviewed by a real person too. A considered portrait, faithful to what makes your subject theirs, and yours to keep for good.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Is it a photo printed on a mug?

No — it’s a digitally rendered painterly portrait, a real piece of artwork rather than a photo or a filter. For pets (Pawtrait, Purrtrait, Ponytrait), the system self-audits every result before it’s shown to you. For Rolling Render car and bike portraits, we fully audit each one ourselves — often adjusting it by hand — before sending your proofs to approve.

What photo works best?

A clear, well-lit photo with your subject filling most of the frame — front-on for pets, a three-quarter view for cars and bikes. Avoid heavy filters. If yours isn’t quite right, we’ll tell you before we start.

Do I get to choose before it’s printed?

Yes — in two ways. Pet portraits (Pawtrait, Purrtrait, Ponytrait) give you three versions to choose from instantly, with no approval step and no waiting. Rolling Render car and bike portraits are a bigger commission: you choose the scene, angle, driver and details, we render and perfect it our side, then email you proofs to approve — with a full money-back guarantee if you’re not happy.

How much is it, and how fast?

Pet portraits from £12.49; car and bike portraits from £25.49. Hand-pressed in our Sussex studio on premium stock and dispatched within a couple of working days, in smash-proof packaging.
