Meet the talented digital imaging artist, based in Indonesia, Aditya Aryanto. 

Have you ever wondered what Minecraft would look like in real life? Aryanto has achieved that. Aditya was fascinated by cubes, so much so that he felt the urge to transform animal images into cubes. 

Turns out it looks pretty darn awesome and totally unique. It all started with one image of an animal from sites like Pixabay, and from there he takes the images into photoshops and works his magic! 

Aditya's work can be found on Facebook page and on Instagram! Keep it up, Aditya -- we're loving this unique style! 

Put your eyesight to the test!

Images of beetles are listed below, all identical to one another in color except one. One of the beetles in each image is of a slightly different hue, and it's your job to discover which. 

We're not going to lie to you, this is actually pretty difficult. As a person who has always claimed to have perfect vision, I couldn't find half of them! 

Now, be sure not to scroll down too quickly as each answer will immediately the image. Good luck everyone! Let us know how many you got correct! 

Ah, cats. Can't live with 'em, most definitely can't live without 'em. 

Cats. Humans. Who will win? I think we all know the answer to that one.

It's not so easy living with more than one cat... let alone four cats. 

Russian artist, Lena Solomonova, lives with four cats and has shared on Instagram what that might feel like. In the form of comics, we get a glimpse into the unpredictable life that is living with multiple cats. 

If you have more than one cat, you already know. And if not, these funny comics will delight everyone and anyone (even if you don't have a cat).

Artist Andoni Bastarrika creates some pretty spectacular animal sculptures completely made of sand! 

He began his artistic journey in the summer of 2010, while being on the beach with his two daughters. He made a little mermaid out of sand and has since devoted himself to the art of sand sculpturing. He's spent 10 years developing this gift and the work shared from him just goes to show how talented he is and how far he's come. 

Some of his pieces are very thought-provoking and making a statement about plastic use and sea life dying due to it. Follow his Instagram account to see all the latest updates and new sculptures! 

We'll never get tired of this wholesome duo! 

If you're not following Pet_Foolery on Instagram yet, you're missing out! There isn't just "Pixie and Brutus" comics, there are so many different animal comics going on and they're all truly fantastic! Take a moment to check them out! 

And now, onto the main event, the new "Pixie and Brutus" comic:

Artist behind @okbluecomics, adorable and wholesome webcomics all draw in blue, recently shared a more personal comic featuring his dog, Korbin.

He shared the story about how Korbin's knee came to be injured on Imgur, "About a year ago my dog, Korbin, was running to the house from the back yard, when he got to the deck he made a strange yelp and started limping. After going to the vet, we were given some medication and sent on our way. We brought it up again but the resolution was trying to keep him from playing with his sibling and lowering activity...didn't help the limp. 

Fast forward to this year during his physical, we were told that he had bad arthritis and he would need TCL surgery (surgery on the knee). He had torn his MCL and CCL (dog equivalent of ACL) and also had bad arthritis. The vet said "If we had gotten to it sooner, we could have prevented the arthritis...?

Luckily, the surgery went great and when he got home we decided to give him a stuff avocado toy he loves to play with and his jammies to snuggle in. He's doing well now and he finally gets his cone off on Thursday! Still a bit to go towards healing, but he's doing great and responding well to the at-home therapy! 

Note: The jammies helped keeping my other 3 dogs from licking his leg, he doesn't wear them all the time, but he will try to get his head into them if they are out.  Picture was right after anesthesia, so he looks kind of loopy"

So, so cute! 

We've been seeing a lot of felt animals gaining some popularity and we don't mind it in the slightest. I mean, just look how adorable! While we did feature another Russian artist who creates animals out of felt, this artist solely sticks to the internet's favorite animal -- the cat. 

Introducing the talented Russian artist Elizabeth Delektorskaya, known as @lizasiama on Instagram! The cutest felt cats you could possibly find! Each cat is a unique masterpiece that looks so real. The felt is often used by real cats to play with, and it was the material in which Delektorskaya chose to bring these creatures to life.

Delektorskaya really wants her admirers to know that even though her felt animals are adorable and look so cuddlable, they are actually collector's items and should be handled with care, as they are quite fragile. 

Good to know! Keep up the beautiful work, Delektorskaya!

Seriously, these are so heckin' cute and when we say cute, we mean Disney-level cute. 

Russian Instagram artist, Anna Romanova, has a special gift when it comes to felted animals, the detail is outstanding and the those eyes -- insert instant squeals! 

Romanova uses a felting techinque in which she turns loose sheep's wool into tiny felt animals that can fit right into your pocket! 

Get ready to fall in love with these felted animals, we know we did! 

Follow her amazing work on Instagram or Facebook! 

Who else is obsessively playing Animal Crossing these days? We know we are! Darn that Tom Nook and his hefty loan!

Anyways, Instagram artist @nekoama, made a relatable and quite adorable Animal Crossing comic! Instead of the usual classic Animal Crossing characters we've all come to know so well, it's re-imagined with Pokemon characters! 

As if Animal Crossing couldn't get any cuter? Nekoama definitely found a way! Check out more of her art here! And show some love to the re-discovered Animal Crossing love! 

It's never easy to lose a dog (or any animal), even though we all know they go straight to heaven.

It's the rest of the days without seeing their happy face that makes it so difficult. However, it's important that we remember their affection and that feeling you had whenever you were with them, because that was true love. 

Thai illustrator and comic artist Prema-Ja has drawn such a lovely comic about losing a dog and the real emotions that go along with it. The comic 'Sky Sky' received the Grand Prix at the Silent Manga Audition in 2013. 

But maybe our angel furbabies aren't as far as we think... We like to hope so, at least.

There's something awfully calming about cats. And about watercolor. And thankfully, thanks to one brilliant artist, cats and watercolor have become one. 

Amelia Rizky, paints popular cat images from all over the internet in watercolor, and to put it simply... it's magic. We've shared some of her fantastic work in the past and feel the need to share some of the newer images with you. 

You're very, very welcome.

Some cats are more social than others and you can play with them all day! That's not the case for all cats, however. 

Cats are mostly independent animals, who will come seek you out when they want your love and attention. To chase and force love upon them (though, most of us are guilty of this) will likely cause them to run and hide. 

Popular artist @whatsupbeanie portrays the importance of giving our beloved cats the space they need, and did so beautifully. 

Written in the description for the follow comic, Beanie wrote, " loved Rosa (her cat) SO much but was wayyy too energetic and crazy for the poor cat to handle at first. I was much more used to playing with dogs but once I learnt the right approach we got along very well. I miss her."

If you have children, be sure you teach them how to respect animals and to give space when needed!
