Art of the Day #330: Finnick Appreciation Day #3



Finnick Character Sheet by @A_KAchen

If there’s one character the Zootopia fandom would like to see more of in the next film, it’s the grumpy little guy with the big, grumpy voice, the one and only Finnick. Post a message on any fan forum saying you want him to play an active role in Zootopia 2, and you’ll get a dozen likes at least.

Since we last presented a collection of Finnick fanart, there’s been a ton of new pics of him posted on the web, so many in fact that we have enough for not one, but two new albums. (We’ll be posting #4 next week.)

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

 

We open with a threesome of concept-art pics.  Finnick was one of the few characters in Zootopia whose final version differed very little from his original concept.  In the third image he’s even wearing the same shirt as in the film

Note the ‘Tame Collars’ in the next two images.

Being so popular with the fans, Finnick is also the favorite subject of many a Zootopia fan-artist–and none more so than Mortic Ox, as illustrated by the series that follows.

This one’s kind of a rare pic.  Very seldom do we see artwork showing Finnick as a real kid.

Proportionally speaking, this if probably the most accurate depiction Nick and Finnick out there; the closest approximation of the actual size difference between a red fox and a fennec-fox.

Yes, he’s cute, but don’t kiss him….

…or else this happens.

This is not such an odd portrayal of Finnick as you might think.  In the film, it was hinted that he has a French background, (he likes French rap-music.)   Fennec foxes are also indigenous to Algeria and Tunisia, two former French North African colonies.   (The Algerian National Football team is known as Les Fennecs.)

Last, and probably least, a little photo manipulation by yours truly.

Until next time…au revoir.
