The turnaround time for a digital portrait is typically 1-2 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and overall workload.
You will need to email two photos. The first is the best representation of your head and shoulders, and another of your body if you want to use it as 1/2 (chest or ribs and up), 3/4 (cut off point at mid-thigh) or full body. Photos must be in a high resolution, clear and perfectly focused, showcasing your face and whatever else you want to see in your portrait. Eyes must be facing forward with no eyeglasses. If you want only your face used, you may request that it be made larger or thinner too in order to suit your inner vision of yourself.
Standing is easier than sitting, but if you want to be on a throne, you must be in the exact position, including hands. See customization Options on the Haunting Beauty description page for more details.
Yes, it is. If you are sending your own image, however, Proof of Age is required for legal purposes. Proof of Age will be kept on file in encrypted storage. If you want to have nude body parts, these can be added for you, taken from other images also just as Ishtar may use your face and give you an entirely different body if you request that as well.
After Ishtar receives and reviews the request, you will receive an encrypted email address to send your photos to Ishtar. The result will be sent via the same email address or via an encrypted link service, depending on the size of the file. Your original photo will be stored in an encrypted cloud service and deleted after 7 days.
Your original photo(s) will not be be viewed and/or sold to any third parties. The result, however, may be used for portfolio purposes. If this is not what you want, you will need to pay an extra fee of CAD $25. Otherwise, there is a waiver you will need to sign allowing portfolio and publicity use and use in any future art collection book(s).
Yes! Ishtar welcomes input from their client to ensure that your portrait truly reflects your Inner Self or Highest Self. Simply let Ishtar know your preferences and they will do their best to incorporate them into the artwork. See the Haunting Beauty description page for possibilities and think of your own too!
You will pay for a minimum of 3 hours upfront (no piece takes less than 3 hours) via PayPal at a rate of CAD $66.66 per Hour When the first draft is done, you will be sent a sample to review with watermark included. After the final product is completed, you will pay the remaining commission fee -if applicable- and then the proper file will be emailed to you. Non-Refundable Down-payment.
Each piece is unique as is the amount of complexity in detail.
A single piece usually takes from 3-10 hours. It may take longer, depending upon any fine detailing work and any pieces Ishtar must hunt down or use AI to create and modify. See the Hecate piece in the gallery on the Welcome Home page. It’s the one with the owl. The gown is made of multiple pieces for the metal and jeweled parts and Her belly and most of the gown were painted. A piece such as that takes much longer than something like the portrait of Shamash/ Lucifer (blond "angel") in the gallery.
There are no refunds due to the hours of work utilized. If the final result is still editable AND to the point whereby it will not destroy the entire piece or important features, you may request only 1 revision of minor changes. You will have up to 48 hours to decide.
Ishtar currently focuses on creating digital artworks only.
