If he is passionate about cartoons or anime:
A Cartoonely custom portrait
Cartoonely is the first platform that allows customers to benefit from personalized illustrations while being accompanied throughout their order to find the artist who will satisfy their request.
The vision of the platform's founder, Davy Martial? Allow independent artists to be able to focus on their passion, that is to say draw, without having to look for new customers.
Thus, when placing an order, customers have the option of ensuring the delivery of their custom portrait all the way. It is an intermediary between the two parties that allows the client to work hand in hand with the artist so that the final work is really pleasing.
With this platform, getting a custom portrait has never been easier! Whether it is declined in a universe resulting from the pop culture (manga, movie, series…) or a little more realistic (like the portrait of his animal for example), everyone finds his account. Among the different universes available, the 5 that are particularly popular remain: The Simpsons, Dragon Ball Z, DC Comics, Disney and Star Wars... A real gift super original, to exhibit at home!
