It’s no secret that animals have inspired many artists for centuries. In this post, we’re excited to share a captivating series of character portraits with you. This selection of photos captures animals in either a humorous way or highlights the truly unique characteristics of specific species.
Bored Panda reached out to Connie Kang, the artist behind the series, to discuss her work. We were curious to learn what inspired her to create characters based on pictures of animals. Connie shared with us: “Last year, I came across a memory game called ‘Do You Look Like Your Dog?’ and ‘Do You Look Like Your Cat?’ by photographer Gerrard Gethings. I was captivated by the uncanny similarities between humans and their pets. It sparked an idea, and I started sketching a series inspired by these resemblances, having so much fun with it. Earlier this year that fascination lingered, so I decided to take it further and create human characters based on the personality and traits of animals.”
