“Dear Chief Bogo:

If that nice fox, Nick Wilde is somehow lucky enough to get a raise and a promotion next week, then this video probably won’t show up on the ZPD Furbook page.”

It’s been quite some time since we last featured an Art of the Day dedicated to Chief Buffalo Butt… er, ahem, I mean Chief Bogo.

And so, with further ado, we present a new collection of fanart featuring Zootopia’s favorite cape buffalo (along with a few Bogo concept art pieces we haven’t shown before.)

Enjoy, and don’t forget to show the original artists some love by clicking on the source links.

We open with some concept pieces of the Chief

This is the earliest conception of Chief Bogo that I’ve seen so far.  Looks way different than the movie version, doesn’t he?

It didn’t take long for the Disney gang to get him right.

“Be reasonable, do it MY way.”

Note that the cheetah is wearing the same outfit Duke Weaselton had on in the movie; one thing you have to give the Disney Animation crew, they never waste a good idea

Now let’s get into some Bogo fanart.

Chief Bogo always likes to keep himself in shape.

Uhhh, Judy?   I think you may have bitten off a little more than you can chew here.  Maybe you should consider something wee bit more cerebral, like, say… a nice game of chess?

Okay, scratch that idea.

Have you noticed that Chief Bogo never wore a tie in the movie and always had his shirt collar open?  That little detail was actually based in fact; the directors interviewed a number of real-life police officers in preparation for the film and found that the ones with buffed physiques (like the Chief) never wore ties either.  The reason for this was both simple and practical; these guys had such broad shoulders, they couldn’t get the top buttons on their uniform shirts done up.

Many folks have wondered if the Chief has any kind of a romantic interest.  (All right, almost nobody has, but here you go anyway.)
