Art of the Day #439: More Fabulous Feral Fauna



Feral Nick and Judy2 by @ss1msy

Hello again, Zootopia fans.

Well, there’s been a lot of great fanart posted on the web of late, showing Nick and Judy in feral mode–and that’s the subject of this week’s Art of the Day Collection.

For those unfamiliar with the term, ‘feral’, a brief explanation is in order. There are two types of cartoon animals.  The first, known as anthro characters, are roughly humanoid in conformation, walk upright on two legs, and sometimes wear clothes. (Example: Disney’s Robin Hood. ) Feral characters, by contrast, resemble wild animals, move about on all fours, and are most often unclothed. (Example: Tod, from The Fox and the Hound.)

The characters in Zootopia, needless to say were almost entirely anthro in nature.  Not today though; today, we present a new collection of fanart, depicting them in all their feral glory. 

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

——————————————————————————————————————-

We open with some images by Msitu-Vita, one of the best Feral Zootopia artists out there.

Anyone who knows their cartoon logic knows what happens next.  While Nick and Finnick are busy arguing, their lunch makes getaway.  (We like Finnick’s frizzed-up tail.)

We’ve never seen Nick’s dad as a feral fox before.

Here’s a sketch of a feral Nick, together with Judy’s niece/little sister, Cotton.

He’s mad, MAD I tell you.  ( Note the tail and leg, sticking out of Nick’s mouth.)

Here’s Msitu’s latest.  Expanding on the theme of Nick’s feral dad, in this pic his father is none other than Foxy-Loxy.

And now some pics by another master of Zootopia feral fanart, an artist whose work we’ve featured before, the one and only Qalcove.

One thing foxes and bunnies have in common is that they’re both crepuscular in nature.  What that mean is this; both Nick and Judy’s species are most active in the periods between first light and sunrise, and sunset and full dark.

Qalcove is one of the few Zootopia Fan-artists that draws Nick and Judy as feral anime characters.

Here’s three images of a feral Nick and Judy from an artist by the name of Orangeandbluecream.  We especially like that third one.

Note the whiskers on Judy’s face; that’s something we almost never see in Zootopia fanart.

We’ve seen Nick drawn with whiskers before…but never above the eyebrows.

If you’re worried that Nick might have found Judy to be just a little TOO tasty in that last pic, fear not…

We continue with some random images of Nick and Judy gone feral

The title of this one pretty much explains it.

Well…what?  Did we not say that feral characters are most often unclothed?

Here’s a couple featuring Benjamin Clawhauser.

As we mentioned above, the Zootopia characters were almost entirely anthro in nature.  Now comes the one exception.  Whenever one of them was darted with Nighthowler, they reverted instantly to feral mode.

  1. Something obvious is VERY wrong with that last picture of Bogo. Hint, he’s a bull not a cow.

  2. Aaack agree. One of the best collections yet, then that last one. The lead image is my favorite; Judy looks so happy in her new fox stole!

  3. Pretty neat stuff. Though some of the contexts regarding PeashyPeach’s works are off.
