People Send Pictures Of Their Pets To This Artist To Get Them ‘Disneyfied’ (40 Pics)
Interview With Artist
I think all animal owners will agree that you can never have enough photos of your beloved pets. Besides, "hey, gimme some love", everything about them just screams "take that picture already". And, of course, we take THAT picture and a bunch of other ones.
If you've been thinking of capturing your pet in a more unique way, we want to introduce you to Alessia Ciullo. She is an artist from Italy who creates cute portraits of all kinds of adorable creatures in Disney style. From a dog to a lizard, she can turn every real-life animal into a Disney character. Scroll down for some cuteness overload!

The artist shared that she has been an artist ever since she was a child, but she started taking this seriously - as a job - back in 2019.
Creating one illustration for Alessia usually takes from one to two days but it can go up to a week if it's very detailed and includes lots of subjects.

According to the artist, people are super happy when they receive a commission. "They either cry of joy when it's a pet who crossed the rainbow bridge, or they're just happy and amazed to see their fur babies turned into cartoon style."
"I'm glad that throughout these years I've met wonderful people, it's not really common, if I have to be honest. But I'm also glad I get to see lots of pets every day whenever I get commissioned! I love animals, and seeing their cute faces just brightens my days. Drawing them is always an honor to me."

What makes these illustrations even more wonderful is the fact that Alessia didn't have any formal training to draw them. All she did was practice, practice and practice. "You have to go through a lot, but practice always pays you back!"
The artist also shared that she can draw in other styles as well. "When I started my job as an artist, I mainly focused on manga and anime commissions. I still do that when I get the requests."

Benji
As a dog lover and owner, the artist revealed that dogs are her favorite subjects to draw. However, when she gets a picture of a cat, or a horse, or a bunny, her reaction is always the same: "'they're so cute!' I just can't help myself, at the end of the day I like all of them."
"This is the work of my dreams, not everyone gets the chance to work with what they love. I feel really lucky to have had my family who always supported me, but I'm also lucky for all the love I get from everyone who commissions me or just follows and supports me. Thank you so much!"

Aawwweee. So I busted a couple of toes today and admittedly not in the best of moods because of that but these perked me right up. 🥰
I LOVE to see artists who take pet commissions who can (and will) draw the animals in different poses instead of exactly copying the reference photographs in their own drawing/painting style. I have gotten many commissions of my pets over the years - and have always explicitly given the artist artistic freedom - only to receive a product that is (sometimes literally) a traced picture of my pet's photo. I know this sounds like ungrateful "first world problems", and I'm not crapping on those artists nor the commissioners who WANT their pet drawn exactly in the pose/style/with the props/toys from a reference photo they provide, but I have wanted for decades to see what an artist comes up with. OP - your work is gorgeous and very refreshing!
That's so kind of you to say!!! It means a lot and I truly appreciate that. I always try to be "original" when the clients give me freedom

What an amazing post! I love all of these! We're adopting our fourth and last kitten on Saturday, just makes me think of her and how happy she'll be ❤️
OMG THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I DO CHECK OUT MY PROFILE I DO THIS AND IM FREE RIGHT NOW (not trying to steal anyones thunder just saying)
I'm confused... on someone else's post, showing off their artwork, you are saying you do the same thing that they do and that you're free to do commissions/art or something? So you're stealing this artist's thunder on their own post?
