Custom Pixel Art Portraits
Custom Pixel Art Portraits
Welcome to Square Safari. We are a small e-commerce and design company based in Perth, Western Australia. We create apparel and souvenirs sporting designs of adorable animals, fierce fantasy creatures and custom models of real people and companions in a charming low-poly art style — all uniquely designed in a 3D art program, without the use of any AI.
We offer customised designs that reflect our customers and their furry, feathery and scaly friends, re-imagining them in our blocky art style.
What It Means to Bring Real Animals into the Blocky World
I have always enjoyed creating real world and fantasy animals in my blocky art style. And sure, whilst all of them are charming in their own way, there is just something special about creating designs that are based on an actual real individual animal — not just a generic rendition of their species — with all of the traits that make them different and unique.
It is one thing to be able to look at a design and say, "hey, that looks a lot like one of my companions", but to have an adorable design actually be based on them entirely makes it so much more important and meaningful.
It brings me so much joy to create designs that others will treasure on a more personal level, and that is why I offer to create custom designs that you and the ones who are closest to you can cherish forever.
Where It All Began — Reggie & Harley
Reggie and Harley are two of the most important individuals in my life. I would not be the person who I am today without them. I have been with them throughout their entire lives and have been blessed enough to join them in their journeys — all of the trials and tribulations they have had to overcome, and how they have grown and changed over time.
Reggie has always been the loving and patient kind of dog — a heart of gold and a quirky personality and sense of adventure to complement them. He had his quirks, being obsessive and distracted at times, but that never held him back from being the ultimate empath — able to read the emotions of everyone around him and give us exactly what we needed: his love.
Harley is a sweet and gentle soul — a little shy when you first meet him, but once he is out of his shell, his boisterous and joyous personality shines through. He is very smart and loves to learn new tricks, which makes him feel so proud and excited whenever he successfully adds new ones to his repertoire. Harley loves us to no end and will be there for you forever — and finds the most joy when he is spending time with his family and friends.

Every Animal Has a Story Worth Telling
You can send in photographs of yourself and members of your family — or your furry, feathery and scaly companions — for us to re-create and re-imagine in our blocky art style. The result is a perfectly tailored gift for someone you care about, or even just for yourself.
Here are just a few of the portraits Jessica has created:
Bindi & Banjo — two dingoes, immortalised in their signature golden coats alongside their real-life photo.
Nick — a tawny frogmouth with one eye removed, wearing his brown leather band. Every detail matters.
Oscar — another tawny frogmouth, two good eyes, leather leg band. Same species, completely different character.
What Can Be Created?
We offer to create custom designs in our blocky art style that can be manufactured into a range of products of your choosing — giving you the perfectly tailored gift for someone you care about, or even just for yourself.
Your custom design can be printed or produced on:
- T-shirts (kids or adult sizes)
- Hoodies
- Hats
- Bags
- Stickers
- Magnets
- Digital design only — supplied as a file for you to print, frame, or use however you like
Charity Collaborations & Sponsorships
Square Safari partners with not-for-profit and conservation-centric organisations in order to help raise the funds that support their essential work. Our main goal is to help support the efforts of charity and conservation-centric organisations by assisting in funding their important efforts with our merchandise.
We want to offer our services to organisations who have goals that align with our own in animal and environmental protection and conservation — designing custom pieces of artwork that reflect their core values and that will appeal to a diverse audience. Their purchases of said merchandise can then help in funding, aiding and raising awareness of their primary subjects.
