Every portrait on this site is drawn by hand, from your photo, by a real illustrator. No AI, no filters, no templates.
Negasva started as a personal project with a simple idea: turning people's photos into portraits of their favorite cartoons — properly. Not run through a filter, but studied and redrawn by hand so that the person in the portrait is unmistakably you: your exact hairline, your crooked smile, your dog's one floppy ear. That obsession with likeness turned a side project into a studio with more than 1,000 happy customers.
Today the catalog covers eight cartoon styles — from the classic yellow family look and sci-fi portal chaos to anime and Disney-Pixar-inspired portraits — all drawn in the same way: your photo, a digital tablet, and hours of hand work. The finished portrait, not a preview, is delivered to your inbox within 48 hours, from $15, with a revision included.
Because AI doesn't know what makes you recognizable. Image generators average faces toward the style, producing a generic character who vaguely resembles you. The entire craft of a custom portrait is the opposite: deciding which of your features matter and translating them faithfully into the visual language of the style. That judgment is human work — and it's the reason people frame these portraits instead of replacing them next month. You can read more about the process on the blog or browse finished examples in every style.
Every portrait is drawn stroke by stroke from your photo. No AI at any step.
The finished portrait — not a preview — arrives in your inbox within 48 hours.
If a detail isn't right, the included revision fixes it. The portrait has to look like you.
