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.

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 ordered a portrait of my late… I ordered a portrait of my late grandmother as a birthday gift for my mother and when we got it in the mail and opened it she burst into tears and immediately loved it. It turned out so well.

Easy to Use I had a great experience with Requiren. It was a pretty simple process getting connected to the artists and selecting which one I wanted to work with. Would recommend for anyone trying to get a personalized gift for someone.

Smooth, Easy, and Gorgeous - Requiren is great! Requiren has a fantastic process, from the artist selection process to the actual fulfillment, the UI is gorgeous and efficient. I loved the final product and am so happy to see such a great collection of talent.
