These Awesome Animal Wallpapers Will Make Your Desktop And Phone

Kittens, puppies, bunnies, and monkeys, oh my! Amidst how-to posts,
serious updates and cutting-edge websites, maybe what your desktop
needs is some extra cuteness. Then again, if incredibly cute
wallpapers aren't up your alley, perhaps your significant other
could appreciate them (and understand why you spend so much time on
MakeUseOf!).
I've scoured Flickr and DeviantArt in search of animal art, and
found some amazingly fuzzy friends, including two that would love
to grace your smartphone.
Angel Bunny
Angel Bunny comes from DeviantArt creator Episode with a petulant
look that basically says, "Carrot NOW!" - or that's what it says to
me, at least. Nice use of white space, and plenty of room for your
icons.
Selective-Color Cat
Cat With Cam Selective Color by ChrisHateZ is not an entirely
original creation: The source image was taken by another, by
ChrisHateZ did a very nice job of photoshopping it so that it pops
out right at you. Priceless, really.
Staffordshire Puppy
Staffordshire Puppy by Takacica shows a Staffordshire Bull Terrier
(as far as I was able to tell, at least), and it's just... mega-cute.
That's the scientific term for it, I believe. Bull terriers aren't
known as the most adorable pets, but this puppy is giving the
camera an excellent "awwww" look.
X Marks the Spot
X Marks the Spot by Sergiu Baciouiu is almost too cute, but I
decided to include it because of the nice match between the
background and the color of the eyes. Cute overload!
Meow Man
Meow Man is another shot by Sergiu Bacioiu - what can I say, Sergiu
seems to have a firm grip of the concept of cuteness. Sergiu tells
us he used two soft boxes to get the right lighting for this shot,
and it worked well: The details come through quite nicely, and even
the dark tail preserves some nice texture. This wallpaper works
only if you like light backgrounds, as the glare can be a bit
intense.
Parfait
If you're not into light backgrounds, you may appreciate Parfait by
creator meantux. This is regal fluff at its best, and again, leaves
plenty of room for your icons.
White Bunny
Wait, this one isn't a cat! This is White Bunny by nishant2110.
I've never owned a bunny myself, but this thing is seriously cuddly.
Sweet Cat
And we're back to felines! Yes, that little furball is a cat - a
Sweet Cat, if you want to be particular about it. Anyone who's ever
cuddled a little kitty knows it's one of the most adorable things
in the known universe, and this shot by Layanti captures the
essence of that feeling, at least for me.
Mobile Wallpaper: Fur Coat
This one's for your smartphone: Fur Coat by nyceflicker looks a bit
like a render, but it isn't, really: It's a piggy bank puppy the
photographer got at Urban Outfitters, originally made by Pets@Work.
The delicate lighting works well here, too, and preserves the fur's
fluffy texture without making the photo look gritty.
Mobile Wallpaper: Square Monkey
This beautiful square monkey wallpaper comes to us from Israeli
creator Ron Nadel, working under the alias Sherbet Lemon. It is one
of a series of square animal wallpaper by Sherbet Lemon, so if you
like the style but don't like monkeys, you should check out the
entire set.
So, pick one (or a few) and tell us which one gets the opportunity
to grace your desktop or smartphone screen? Any other choice - tell
us that too.
