A bearded man in his forties in his living room, and the portrait painted from that photo: the same man as a robed space knight with a blue energy sword, two suns setting over a desert behind him

Six characters

Pick your side

The same photo as each character. Light side, dark side or somewhere in between: the costume and the backdrop change, the face stays yours.

Before and after

It actually looks like you

Your face, preserved. A new portrait painted from your photo, not a face pasted on a costume.

At home

The day the canvas arrives

The sample portraits from this page as canvases, at home with the people in them: out of the box, held up, on the wall.

  • A bearded man taking a selfie beside the canvas of his Jedi Knight portrait
  • A woman on her sofa among wrapping paper, holding the canvas of her Rebel Pilot portrait
  • A man with a shaved head in his driveway, holding the canvas of his Sith Lord portrait and giving a thumbs-up
  • A young man at his front door, lifting the canvas of his Bounty Hunter portrait out of its box
  • A grinning man with grey hair pointing at the canvas of his Smuggler portrait on the wall
  • Two hands lifting a canvas portrait out of its shipping box, a dog's paws at the edge

Yours alone

Why you'll love it

  • It actually looks like you

    The likeness is checked against your photo before you ever see it. People will swear it came from the movie poster.

  • Your character, your side

    Jedi, Sith, pilot, officer, bounty hunter or smuggler: the piece guests ask about first.

  • The two of you, or just you

    Add your partner, your kid or your co-pilot and both are painted side by side, each checked for likeness.

How it works

Three steps, about two minutes of your time

  1. Upload and order

    One photo with your face in view, straight from your phone, HEIC and all. Pick your character and a format, and pay; that starts the painting.

  2. Approve by email

    Your portrait is painted from your photo and checked for likeness before you see it. The preview lands in your inbox, usually within a day. Approve it or ask for changes.

  3. Delivered your way

    The digital file arrives right after you approve. Canvases are printed to order in the USA only after your approval and ship with tracking, usually within a week.

After you pay

What lands in your inbox

Your preview arrives by email, usually within a day. One button approves it, the other asks for changes, and nothing prints until you press the first.

The preview email on a phone: the portrait, an Approve button and an Ask for changes button
  1. Your portrait arrives by email, before anything is printed.
  2. Approve it with one tap, and the file or the print is on its way.
  3. Or tell us what to change. Changes are free, as often as you need.

Questions

Which photo works best?

One clear, well-lit photo with your face in view. Photos from your phone are fine. Uploads are encrypted, never shared or sold, and deleted within 30 days of your order completing.

Which characters can I choose?

Jedi Knight, Rebel Pilot, Sith Lord, Imperial Officer, Bounty Hunter and Smuggler, with more on the way. Each is painted as a waist-up film-poster portrait with your face in full view, helmet off.

Is this an official Star Wars product?

No. We are an independent fan-art studio, not affiliated with or endorsed by Lucasfilm or Disney. Each portrait is an original painting of you in a costume of that kind, with no film characters, actors or logos in it.

Is it painted by a person or by AI?

The portrait is made by our AI in the style of a painted film poster, from your photo. Every portrait is checked for likeness before you see it, a person steps in when it needs work, and you approve the result before anything prints.

How long does it take?

Your preview lands usually within a day. The digital file is emailed the moment you approve. Canvases are printed to order in the USA and ship with tracking, usually within a week of your approval, and most US addresses have them a few days after that.

Do I pay before I see the preview?

Yes. Paying is what starts the painting, and the preview follows usually within a day. Nothing prints and no file goes out until you approve it, and if we can't get the portrait right after your changes, you get your money back.

Can I change something I do not like?

Yes, as often as you need, at no extra cost. When your preview arrives, approve it or tell us what to fix; we make another pass and send a fresh preview.

Can two of us be in it?

Yes. Add a second person at the photo step for $15 and send a clear photo of each of you. Both faces are checked for likeness.

What are the canvases printed on?

Matte canvas stretched over a 1.25 in frame, 12 x 16 or 16 x 20 in, ready to hang. Each one is printed to order in the USA and ships anywhere in the US for a flat $9.85.

What if the print arrives damaged?

Email us a photo of the damage within 30 days of delivery and we print and ship a replacement at no charge.

Can I send it as a gift?

Yes. Order with the photo you have; the preview goes only to the email you give us, so the surprise holds. For a print, enter their address at checkout and it ships straight to them.

Where do you ship?

Canvases are printed in the USA and ship anywhere in the US for a flat $9.85; we don't ship prints outside the US yet. The digital file goes everywhere.

How do I reach a person?

Email support@motorportraits.art and a person answers. If you have one, include the order reference from your confirmation email.

Your photos are safe

  • Uploaded over an encrypted connection
  • Deleted within 30 days of your order completing
  • Used only to make your portrait, never sold

Put yourself (or someone you love) in the saga.
