There’s something powerful about being seen. Not just noticed. Not just captured by a camera. But truly seen the way you see yourself in your favorite memories, dreams, or wildest expressions of personality. That’s why more and more people are asking, What if my portrait wasn’t just a picture, but a piece of personal art? At Imaginemylikeness, we answer that question with every illustration we create. A portrait from us isn’t just a stylized photo, it’s a conversation between your identity and imagination. And it’s 100% yours.
Why Is My Portrait a Powerful Concept?
When you think of the phrase "my portrait", it feels intimate, doesn’t it? It's not about perfection. It’s about belonging in your own story, celebrating your look, your vibe, your mood, your moment.
It could be:
You and your child, captured in a joyful moment
You with your beloved pet, immortalized together
A self-love statement with bold colors and confidence
A fantasy-themed illustration where you finally have those angel wings
Whatever your vision, your portrait should feel like you. Not filtered. Not generic. Not copied.
And that's where illustrated portraits come in, bringing “my portrait” to life in creative, emotional, and one-of-a-kind ways.
Illustrated vs. Photographed: Why Art Says More
A photo shows the outside. An illustrated portrait goes deeper.
We’ve had countless clients tell us, “This feels more like me than any photo I’ve ever taken.” Why? Because we can add details that matter details that mean something.
Illustrated portraits let you:
Add symbolism like a favorite flower, a special date, or an object with meaning
Include who or what you love your dog, your child, your favorite jacket
Reimagine yourself as powerful, playful, romantic, stylish, or even surreal
Show personality not just appearance
When someone receives their portrait and says “That’s really me,” we know we’ve done it right.
What People Say When They See My Portrait
Every time we finish a custom portrait at Imaginemylikeness, we get to witness something magical: recognition.
Here are real things our clients have said:
“I cried when I saw it. I felt seen in a way I haven’t in years.” Jenna R.
“My portrait included me in my graduation gown, with my late father’s watch drawn in. It meant more than words can say.” Leo K.
“I never liked being in photos. But this? This is art. This is mine.” Tasha M.
Their words remind us that an illustrated portrait isn’t just about art, it’s about emotion.
The Imaginemylikeness Process
You don’t need to be a model or know anything about art. You just need to want to see yourself, really see yourself, through a different lens.
Here’s how it works:
1. Upload Your Photo
You choose a photo (or a few). It can be a selfie, a professional pic, or even a snapshot of you and your cat cuddling on the couch.
2. Tell Us About You
Do you have tattoos? Favorite colors? Want a galaxy background, floral border, or your pet beside you? Share what matters to you.
3. Pick Your Style
Soft and painterly? Bright and bold? Retro, fantasy, cartoonish, or minimalist? We offer flexible styles—or we can blend elements to create something fresh.
4. We Draw with Heart
Our artists begin crafting your portrait one line, one shade, one personal detail at a time.
5. You Approve the Final
We will send you the draft. You can request changes if needed. Then we deliver your final high-res file (and optional prints!) ready to hang, gift, or share.
Why Choose Imaginemylikeness?
Because when you say my portrait, we don’t treat it like a product—we treat it like a collaboration.
Hand-drawn by real artists
Fully customized, nothing generic or templated

When Is the Right Time for My Portrait?
Honestly? Anytime. You don’t need a special occasion. Sometimes, just being you is the best reason of all.
Still, here are a few popular moments:
Graduation
Engagements or anniversaries
Pet tributes
Mental health milestones or self-love celebrations
Birthday, holiday, or surprise gifts
Just because I deserve to see myself as art.
Your Story. Your Face. Your Style. Your Portrait.
There’s only one you. And that’s exactly what your portrait should reflect. Whether you’re celebrating who you are now, remembering who you were, or envisioning who you’re becoming, an illustrated portrait turns your identity into artwork, personal, powerful, and lasting.
