Every style is a different hand

These samples were rendered by the same engine you will be using. Each one applies its own rules for line, colour and texture rather than layering a filter over your photo.

PL. 07Midnight Neon art style sample

Midnight Neon

+£5.00

Glowing edges against deep dark

PL. 09True to Photo art style sample

True to Photo

No surcharge

Your photograph, print-ready

For when the photograph is already the thing you love. No illustration and no reinterpretation — we clean it up, correct the colour and light, and prepare it for archival printing, so what arrives is your own picture at its best.

PL. 10Thread Portrait art style sample

Thread Portrait

No surcharge

Built for the needle, six colours flat

Designed for embroidery rather than adapted to it. The portrait is reduced to clean closed shapes in a handful of flat colours — the way a needle actually lays thread — so what arrives on the garment is what you approved on screen.

Medium
Six flat colours, no blending or shading
Best on
Embroidered hoodie or sweatshirt
Try this style
PL. 11Thread Outline art style sample

Thread Outline

No surcharge

One colour, one confident run of stitch

A single-colour outline portrait with a deliberately heavy line, so it reads clearly at badge size on a chest or a cuff. The simplest thing to stitch well, and the cleanest at small scale.

Medium
Single-colour contour, uniform heavy line
Best on
Embroidered tee, any garment colour
Try this style
PL. 12Thread Badge art style sample

Thread Badge

No surcharge

A crest, the way a badge is really made

Your portrait as a stitched crest: a bold, simplified head inside a clean border, in four or five flat colours. Designed to read instantly from across a room, which is what a chest badge has to do.

Medium
Crest in four to five flat colours, closed border
Best on
Embroidered left chest

Not sure which one

Run the same photo through every one. It costs nothing.

Restyling is free, so the sensible way to choose is to see your own subject in each hand rather than judging someone else's dog.
