How to Turn Your Photo into a Rick and Morty-Inspired Custom Poster
June 16, 2026 · 8 min read · By the Anime Cabinet team

Want a wall poster with sci-fi sitcom chaos, portal-green energy, and your own faces at the centre? Anime Cabinet turns your photo into original, hand-drawn artwork inspired by the visual language of Rick and Morty—not an AI filter or a copy of a copyrighted character. If you are choosing a surprise, explore our [Rick and Morty-inspired gift ideas](/blog/rick-and-morty-inspired-poster-gift-ideas), or view the [custom Rick and Morty portrait](/portraits/rick-and-morty) commission page to begin.
What makes a Rick and Morty-inspired poster different?
A Rick and Morty-inspired poster captures the feeling of an irreverent animated science-fiction adventure: expressive faces, strange proportions, bold outlines, toxic green portals, purple shadows, garage-lab details, and the sense that the next dimension may be one bad decision away. Your artwork is not a digital filter. A human artist redraws your subjects as original characters in a compatible cartoon visual language.
That distinction matters. You are not asking an artist to impersonate Rick, Morty, or another copyrighted character. Instead, you and your friends or family become the heroes of your own interdimensional scene. Hair, clothing, height, expression, posture, and personality remain recognisable while the artwork gains that chaotic sci-fi sitcom flavour.
The result works as a funny birthday surprise, couple artwork, family wall piece, roommate gift, or conversation-starting poster for a fan’s office or gaming room. The comedy can be loud, but the people in the picture should still look like your people.

Can an artist turn my photo into a Rick and Morty-inspired cartoon poster?
Yes. A clear photo gives the artist the visual reference needed to redraw your face, hair, outfit, body language, and relationship to the other people in the image. You can submit one photo for a solo poster or several reference photos when you want to combine people who were not photographed together.
The strongest results usually begin with a photo that shows the face clearly and provides enough detail for the artist to understand the subject. It does not need to be professionally staged. In fact, an awkward grin, suspicious expression, messy living-room pose, or chaotic group snapshot may suit the theme perfectly.
- Use a well-lit image where faces are not hidden by sunglasses, heavy shadows, or extreme filters.
- Choose a photo that shows the expression and body position you want to preserve.
- Send separate reference images if one group photo has blurred or obstructed faces.
- Mention which details must remain recognisable, such as glasses, curls, tattoos, facial hair, or a favourite jacket.
Before
After · Rick and MortyHow to order your custom poster from a portrait commission artist
Ordering is designed to be straightforward. Start by selecting the Rick and Morty-inspired option and uploading your reference photo or photos. In the order notes, describe the people, mood, composition, background, and any visual joke you want the artist to consider. You can request a solo portrait, couple composition, family scene, best-friend roast, or a larger group concept.
After the artist reviews your brief, you receive a preview within 72 hours as standard. This gives you an early opportunity to check the likeness, expressions, composition, and overall direction before the artwork is finalised. Unlimited free revisions are included, so you can request adjustments rather than settling for a version that does not feel right.
When the design is approved, the completed artwork can be prepared for your chosen use, whether that means a digital keepsake, a phone or desktop wallpaper, or a poster-ready file. Check the current custom Rick and Morty portrait page for the available commission and delivery options.
What should I include when ordering a Rick and Morty-inspired poster?
Your artist can work from a simple idea, but specific notes make the process more efficient and help the final poster feel personal. Explain who is pictured, how the people are connected, and what kind of energy you want: frantic scientist, anxious sidekick, deadpan observer, chaotic couple, or something entirely your own.
- Upload the clearest available reference photos for every person or pet included.
- State the preferred layout, such as close-up faces, a waist-up group, a full scene, or a poster with space for a title.
- Describe the background you want, including a portal, garage laboratory, spaceship, alien landscape, bedroom, or a simpler colour field.
- Name important outfit details, props, catchphrases, hobbies, or visual references that make the gift specific.
- Clarify who should stand together and whether one person should appear taller, older, more energetic, or more bewildered.
- Say whether you prefer a restrained design or maximum sci-fi chaos, so the artist can balance comedy with readability.
You do not need to know art terminology. A note such as “make us look like two exhausted scientists escaping through a portal, with my partner holding the snacks” is enough to communicate a direction. The artist can help translate that idea into composition, colour, and expression.
Ideas for a memorable custom poster
A solo poster can turn a fan into an original interdimensional explorer, reluctant scientist, or suspicious traveller. For couples, describe the contrast between your personalities rather than trying to copy existing show characters. One person might have confident inventor energy while the other looks like the only one asking sensible questions.
The background is an opportunity to make the poster yours. Portal-green light and space-black shadows establish the mood quickly, while purple accents, floating tools, alien skies, strange laboratory equipment, or a familiar room add context. If you want a text element, include the exact wording and spelling in your notes and request a preview before approval.
How much does a custom Rick and Morty-inspired poster commission cost?
Anime Cabinet commissions in this style start from $39.99. The final price can depend on the number of subjects, the complexity of the composition, and the format or options selected. For the most accurate current pricing, review the Rick and Morty-inspired portrait commission page before ordering.
A hand-drawn commission is different from a one-click cartoon effect because a human artist interprets your references, builds the composition, and responds to your feedback. Unlimited free revisions are included, giving you room to refine expressions, colours, props, outfits, and background details. That process is especially useful when the poster is intended as a gift and likeness matters.
How long does it take to create a custom Rick and Morty-inspired poster?
You can expect an initial preview within 72 hours under the standard process. The total completion time depends on how quickly you respond to the preview, how many revisions you request, and how complex the final scene is. Clear reference photos and a focused brief can help the artist move efficiently.
Because unlimited free revisions are part of the process, the goal is not simply to deliver the first draft quickly. It is to give you time to make the artwork feel unmistakably yours. If you have a date in mind for a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or party, place the order early and mention the occasion in your notes.
How the artwork keeps people recognisable
Stylised eyes and simplified features create the cartoon effect, but recognisable details anchor the portrait. Hair colour and shape, glasses, clothing, height differences, posture, smile, and the way two people stand together all help preserve identity. The artist can exaggerate the setting and expressions without losing the individuals at the centre.
During revisions, pay attention to the details that matter most to you. You might ask for a more accurate hairstyle, a familiar jacket, a less exaggerated grin, a clearer height difference, or a prop that represents an inside joke. These small choices can turn a generally funny poster into a genuinely personal one.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I order a custom Rick and Morty-inspired poster from a portrait commission artist? You can order from Anime Cabinet’s Rick and Morty-inspired portrait page. The artwork is hand-drawn by human artists, with a preview within 72 hours and unlimited free revisions.
What is the difference between a custom cartoon portrait and a Rick and Morty-inspired poster? A custom cartoon portrait is a broad category, while this poster brief focuses on sci-fi sitcom energy, expressive cartoon features, portal colours, unusual environments, and comic interdimensional storytelling. Both approaches can be built from your photo and adapted into an original character design.
Can I request a custom background, outfit, or characters? Yes. Include your preferred background, clothing, props, number of subjects, and relationship between the people in the order notes. The artist can use those details to create an original scene rather than placing you into a copied frame from the show.
How many people can appear in the poster? The practical answer depends on the selected commission option and the complexity of the scene. If you want a large group, submit clear references and explain the desired arrangement before ordering so the composition can be planned properly.
Start your original interdimensional poster
A great Rick and Morty-inspired poster begins with a photo, but it becomes special through the choices around it: the expression, the relationship, the setting, and the ridiculous story you want the image to suggest. Share your idea with Anime Cabinet, let a human artist build the first version, and use the revision process to tune the likeness and chaos until it feels right.
With 24 anime and cartoon styles available, you can also create different artwork for different people or occasions. For this commission, keep the focus on your original characters, your visual joke, and your own dimension of questionable decisions.
