Thank you very much for the kind words ^^

Great piece of art!

Sort of, to me, has a Night in the Woods vibe.

Never did get around to playing that :/

Good game, I recommend it.

This feels like a stop motion freeze frame and not 2D illustration. WOW.

... from a Prodigy music video

Thank you X3

Not enough furries I think in their writing department.

Not sure that would help considering how many of us forget that as well.

I remember time to time in rpg games and some shorts I have writen (not jet put eny where)

As pointed out, plenty of furries forget to play with the senses too. Guess it takes a specific kind of mindset ^^;

I'm playing a furry themed tabletop RPG, and a few of my players are realizing "Hey, I'm a canine. I have a heightened sense of hearing and smell." There is hope for nerds everywhere. =P

Yes, yes they have.
A scene where Judy has to trust Nick to lead her through a dark area with his eyes and better nose would have been interesting, especially early in the case or at least before he opened up to her. Adding a few noises both can hear to heighten the suspense for her would have been great.

Cheater (you and me)
That's practically a scene from Forest Tales.

It pretty much is, isn't it X3

Honestly though, for Nick and Judy, they did use nightvision and hearing for one of their teaser trailers, if you think back

Ah yes I remember that one

True, I had nearly forgotten that. It would have been nice if it made a comeback in the movie though.

Nice

Thanks ^^

Not a problem, the effect you did with Nick's eyes really is nice.

Very nice!

Thank you ^^

Eat carrots for better night vision! *eats Carrot*

That would be troubling indeed ._.

well done with the animal traits there, the only thing that would be more shocking is watching 3-4 pairs more staring back at you and many many times bigger.

I'm sure that happens X3

then excuse my french but Judy Hopp's has some seriously big brass balls

Damn...that eyeshine.

Great work...it's looking like they're going to uncover a brutal crime scene.

I love me some tapetum lucidum action =w=

Marvelous pic! Amazingly well done. If they ever did a 'real' detective movie/series based on the two characters, I would expect them to use this more readily.

Interesting commentary.

But for one thing:
In order for the photo-reflective cells in the animal's eyes to shine there has to be a light source aimed almost directly at them.
Now, in this scene, it could be the light (behind them) reflecting from objects in the darker appearing alley. I'll accept Rabbit eyes do the same thing at night, by the by, but they tend toward red. Few predators reflect red. And the reflection is entirely in the back of the eye, resulting in a narrow observation angle (like a computer screen you can't see at all if you're slightly to the side). That makes it creepy as heck because you can't see IT unless it's looking directly at YOU.

Foxes have a tapetum lucidum similar to that of a feline eye, in that they're somewhat designed to take as much available light as possible from the environment. They can reflect at oblique angles to the focal area. Just like how you can see the eye shine from your cat when their head isn't fully facing you, foxes have a similar eye-shine.

All of my wolves glowed green, except at off angles. I have seen a very, very few canids with red eyeglow, but always domestic breeds.

Rabbits glowed red (which is FUCKING creepy!)

Possum is white/blue or green depending on angle. Coons is kinda greenish yellow, like cats (never seen a red eyeglow from cats). Fox I've only seen in headlight glow but they've always been a pale color - maybe green, but hard to identify at 30mph or more. Deer, bluish green and hard to miss since they just keep staring at the headlights. Makes 'em easy to spot on the roadside at night - unless they've gotten so used to cars they stop looking.
Spotlight a herd of deer in a freshly shorn wheat field and holy bejeebus is it scary seeing that many glowing lights shining back out of the dark....

Yeah, I'm a night owl so see most wild critters in the dark... by their eyes.

Whenever I go outside at night with a flashlight it's surprising how many bugs are in the grass. Tiny little pinpricks of light *everywhere*

I feel they could have gotten away with using the animal traits without going into a darker territory, as much as I will admit I wish they did that.

I wont get into the discussion about tapetum lucidum reflectivity on any large scale, just point out that my cat did on numerous occasions display said reflectivity, even when she wa slooking elsewhere *shrug*

Fantastic, absolutely fantastic....................

Thank you very much ^^

Now that is very cool.

Thanks! :3

The eye shine is a brilliant touch--and something creatures in dark alleys would have to be careful about!

Amazing work as always.

That's basically the focal point of the picture in it's entirey. Dark being the topic and the nullification thereof X3

oh wow... love the eye-shine

Thank you ^^

One of the coolest pieces of zootopia fanart I've ever seen!

Thank you very much ^^

Have you read some Beastars, it's plays with some species traits while being more mature.
Main characters a large wolf and the story revolves around the troubles with carnivores living with Herbivores, you might like it.

I've seen the trailers, but two reasons I'm not paying particular attention it is a) it's an asian production and exhibits all the pitfalls of it's parent genres and b) the style is ... ugly is not the right word, but I can't think of a better one.

well I've only read the manga, I can see why the trailers are a turn off :/

Thank you =^-^=

Wow, a new Nick and Judy pic. i think this is the first one you've created in more than two years. Fantastic!

Interesting thing about animals with superior night vision. It takes takes longer for their eyes to fully adjust to sudden darkness than it does for an animal with 'regular' vision. if Nick and Judy were in a room together and he killed the lights, (as in the first teaser trailer,) there'd be a short window of opportunity where she'd be able to see better than him.

It's been quite a while since my last one, yes.

That is an interesting bit of fact to know, actually. Makes sense though.

You did a hell of. Job on all of these. Love the eyes.

Thanks a lot Eby! =^-^=

These glowing eyes...
An interesting design decision. Need to keep that in mind for the future

Heh, I wasn#t aware I was designing anything ^^;

Glad you like it though :3

ZPD noir. This is special. There are scant few other fan pics that have this feel. ^!^

I really, really hope they play a little more with that sort of thing in Zoot2

Reminds me of that trope when a prisoner is sneaking out of a prison and a spotlight passes over them.

Interesting connection. Not entirely unreasonable though X3
