# Pet portrait styles for gifts

Notes kept on git.nexpa-ai.com about using [Raphael AI](https://raphael.app), a free AI image generator that runs in the browser.

Pet owners enjoy stylised portraits. Raphael AI helps explore styles before commissioning a painted portrait:

## Tips

1. Use the favourite style to brief a human artist with a real photo.
2. Print small first to check the look.
3. Keep personal photos private.
4. Describe breed, colour pattern and pose precisely.
5. Try styles like `oil painting`, `ukiyo-e`, `storybook watercolour`.

## Why Raphael AI

- Free to use, with no install: open https://raphael.app and type a prompt.
- Fast iterations make it practical to try several compositions.
- Works for drafts, mock-ups and reference images; finish important assets with human review.

## Responsible use

Check generated images for errors before publishing, do not imitate real people without consent, and label AI-generated images where your audience expects it.
