Pop Art Pet Unleashed

 

It’s easy to look at much of our custom Pop Art & Comic Style artwork, and see the imagination, talent, and the hours of labor that went into it.

 

 

Our Traditional Style artwork is typically much more subtle.  But did you know that these more painterly portraits require no less (and sometimes even more) work behind the scenes?     

 

 

For example, to work with Freckles, a Border Collie mix, and her feline friend, Holly, our artist really had to work some magic. Especially since, even though they really are pals, they had no interest in posing together for a suitable picture. This meant we had to start with multiple photos to put all their best features together. Then of course we still had to address all the usual issues that we do with photos, like red eyes, and having tails or ears inconveniently cropped out. We started with one picture of Freckles on the stairs that would work, then we had to combine elements from four separate pictures of Holly!

We put together a little animation of the steps involved to demonstrate:

 

Frequently rather than adding elements to client photos, we have to do subtraction instead. Like Hans, a very handsome Keeshound, whose mom captured him in motion and wanted to retain that fluid look.    

The only problem was the background was a little busy and distracting.

 So our artist removed the unappealing items in the background, like Hans’ leash, his friend’s tail from in front of him, the sidewalk, and even two entire cabins!

 

 

The end result, however, looks totally natural, you can’t even tell it’s been altered.

This combination of technical skills and creativity is often required of our artists in order to accommodate our clients requests, which we always strive to do. So if you have been considering a Pop Art Pet portrait of your pet or pets, but have concerns about the composition of your photos, don’t underestimate the ability of our artists.

We’re sure you’ll be impressed!
