A wonderful gift idea and worth the small wait time!! The process of selecting what type and size of painting I wanted along with what artist I wanted to replicate my picture was a very smooth process. I received updates when the artist approved my request and when the painting was done and sent my way as well! Unfortunately, some problem with FedEx happened with shipping issues but a simple email to Requiren and everything was back on track! It was a Christmas present to my boyfriend and it was absolutely beautiful and the artist absolutely nailed the features I asked him to enhance in the picture!! My boyfriend absolutely loves it and I do too!

Misleading Advertising I signed up to be an artist for Requiren and they lie about connecting artists and clients for free. They add a 20% to 30% upcharge to the actual commission cost and also take a 5% cut to all commission fees. They specifically told me the upcharge is payment for connecting artist and client, which they advertise the opposite of. Actual artist prices are misrepresented to the client, and clients using the site could contact the artist directly for a huge cost savings. It's extremely fishy and misleading for everybody.

I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with… I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a painting for her birthday. The painting was over a month past the due date so it missed her birthday. But that wasn’t even the main issue. I couldn’t seriously present it to her because we both laughed and were astonished on how bad it was. Neither of us look anything alike, and my girlfriend looks like a chimpanzee. They wouldn’t give me a dollar back, (even for being over a month late, and asking for money back before it arrived because the artist sent me a picture of it) all they did was offer me a coupon which I’ll never use. Maybe I got bad luck with my artist, I’m sure there’s good ones on here. But just know if the artist doesn’t do good work, the company won’t do anything about it, and you’ll be stuck with full price and a piece of garbage.

Beautiful art and easy to use. -

Our Rescue Pitbull… We used Requiren to commission a portrait of my son's dog. The painting came out spectacular. The details were perfect and his personality was evident in the final piece.
