Art of the Day # 699 – Valentine’s Day, 2025



Happy Valentine’s Day 2 by Shadeink

And hello again, everyone – Happy Valentines Day!

As the ZNN site manager recently observed, this is one of the easiest Art of the Day collections to put together. Just enter ‘Wildehopps’ in any search window and BANG!–there you are…with all the Nick and Judy pics you could ever need.

What’s amazing to think about is this–by the time of Valentine’s Day 2026, we may finally learn if WildeHopps is going to become a thing in the Zootopia franchise.  I, for one, am hoping for a resounding YES to that question.

But Nick and Judy are by no means the only couple in Zootopia Universe…as you’ll see for yourself when you scroll down. Enjoy…and don’t forget to show the original artists some love bly clicking on the source-links.

Mr Ferret?  Some appropriate music, if you please…

————————————————————————————————————

We begin, as we like to do, with some pics of Judy–this time in a Valentine state of mind.

Ahhhh, you do like to torture that poor fox…don’t you Carrots?

I wonder what she’s thinking.

And now, we present a gallery of WildeHopps fanart, created by some of our favorite artists.

Uhhh, Carrots?  Nick can see what you’re doing with your other paw there.  (…although I don’t think he cares.)

How, I ask you, could we possibly not include a pic by Qalcove?  There’s more of her artwork on display further down.

Will it happen?  Will we get to see this in Zootopia 2?  More than a few of us are hoping that we will

All righty…what say we get into some Valentine’s Day artwork featuring a few of Zootopia’s other ships?

We begin with the fandom’s other fox and bunny couple–Jack Savage and Skye

If we had to make a guess at the fandom’s favorite AU Zootopia couple, the hands-down winner would be Gideon Grey and Sharla 

A pic by another of our favorite artists, Cake Triflez

And another one from Qualcove

Note the ID badge around Sharla’s neck and the patch on her sleeve.  Looks like the may be well on her way to living her dream of becoming an astronaut.

Excuse me Bellwether, but Valentine’s is a day for romance…not co-dependence.

We’ve often wondered if Gazelle’s relationship with her tigers is strictly professional.

Even Gary’s entitled to some Valentine’s romance, wouldn’t you s-s-say?

And finally…
Don’t look now kids, but methinks you’re in for a rude awakening.
