a split image showcasing a brown and black Dachshund on his hind legs on the left, and a wonky portrait of the same pup on the right. the skillfully drawn portrait illustrates the wavy silhouette of the weiner dog in a very literal interpretation of the photo.
Another split image of a dachshund, this time one with a brindled coat and a silly expression. The photo on the left shows the pup in real life, while the portrait on the right again illustrates the artist's interpretation of the image. Both are quite hilarious.
an action photo of a brown, black and white dog in a lush backyard jumping up to catch a red frisbee in its mouth. on the right, an artist has drawn the same photo with some warped qualities. Both of the dogs eyes are on the same side of its face while itβs legs have been given some curvaceous qualities.
A small white dog with a goofy expression, sits on a blue and purple bed and looks up at the camera with its tongue slightly out. The drawing on the right is of the same dog with honestly a pretty accurate interpretation
