Hello again everyone…and Happy Anniversary #9!
Noooo, the title doesn’t mean that this is the last Art of the Day, ever. But it IS the final anniversary collection before Zootopia 2 comes out. After that, the game is going to change in a big way.
For our Featured Image, we’re giving you the very first fanart uploaded to the ZNN archive, followed by three more pics from 2016. After that, there’ll be four pics from 2017, and then four from each succeeding year, until we get to 2025.
And now…please come and join and us on our stroll down memory lane. Enjoy…and don’t forget to show the original artists some love by clicking on the source-links.

Yes, it’s by Borba. However you may feel about him, there can be no denying the impact he’s had on the Zootopia Fandom.

2018
If you were to ask the ZNN staff to name their favorite Zootopia fan-artists, the name Qalcove would certainly appear on everybody’s list.

And here’s a pic by one of my personal favorites, iPoke.

It all began one day on Discord. I was browsing the ZNN Staff server when I received a DM from one of our new members, informing me of the existence of a treasure-trove of nearly unknown Zootopia fanart, created by Chinese artists. One look, and I knew we had to put these pics in their own collection. The one below is my favorite.

Of all the Art of the Day collections we’ve ever posted, my hands-down favorite is ‘Steampunk Zootopia.’
 |
| Steamtopia by DOL2006 Source [12] |
2019
This one’s kind of double whammy. Inspired by an old Tex Avery cartoon ‘Sheepwrecked’ and also by a music vid, called Beep, Beep, Ima Sheep.
 |
| Leggy Bellwether by borba Source [13] |
This is from a collection called ‘Someone’s in the Kitchen.’ The title pretty much says it all.

A Zootopia / Hercules crossover–with a little role-reversal thrown in.

Note the band-aids on Judy’s arm and leg. If at first, you don’t succeed…

Another of my favorites; you can almost feel the chill in the air, and smell the spray of the ocean.

| Aye Aye Captain! by lion21 Source [22] |
A rare collaborative Zootopia fanart. Nick, Judy, and everything in the foreground is the work of S1M, while the background through the window was created by DantesLunte.

Just a little reminder that both Zootopia and The Bad Guys are getting sequels this year
 |
| I’m expecting them in 2025 by @askalin097 Source [39] |
If 2023 was the Year of the Rabbit, then 2025 is the Year of the Snake. So, naturally we had to create a collection featuring Gary.
 |
