Never work with animals, right?
They're far too unpredictable and even the most well behaved are unlikely to do what they're told for long enough to make the experience fast or efficient.
So getting them to sit for a portrait would be insanity. Sure, they often feature in masterpiece artworks, but it wasn't all about them, it was usually the owner who was the subject of the picture.
But the creative community at DesignCrowd chose not to balk at the challenge of working with our fury friends, and used their expert Photoshop skills to crop all sorts of creatures into classic paintings.
From reworks of The Mona Lisa and The Girl With The Pearl Earring, to touch ups of lesser known renaissance portraits, the creatives proved they are the masters of their art.
