Throughout 2015, many "Fur Affinity" members had posted their own versions of 'fan art' of the anthropomorphic characters from the upcoming Disney CGI feature film, "Zootopia". Personally, I'm surprised that the Disney Animation people hadn't produced a holiday teaser trailer for the film (even though it won't debut until March, 2016). So, I decided to give you all your jollies with the first of two holiday-themed works of 'fan art' with some of the animals from "Zootopia"...
In a situation (unrelated to the film's plot), I had foxy con artist 'Nick Wilde' talk 'Officer Benjamin Clawhauser' (a chubby cheetah, who's a member of the ZPD - the Zootopia Police Department) into dressing up like 'Santa Claus' for a holiday charity event at a local (cubs and kits) youth center.
I can imagine the dialogue between the two of them...
'Nick': "C'mon, Benjamin, you know Zootopia's motto: 'Where anyone can be anything'..."
'Benjamin;: "Yeah... But Nick, do you honestly think I can fill the role of 'Santa'?"
'Nick' (hugging the cheetah's big belly): "Benny, my boy, not only do you fill the role... you practically overflow it!"
Convinced, 'Clawhauser' gets into a 'Santa' suit (which just barely fits his stout frame), and puts on a fake beard (which, at least, covers up part of his double chin), as 'Nick' accompanies him to the youth center. Of course, some of the cubs there are not exactly the friendliest faces any 'Santa' would like to encounter. But 'Benjamin' is willing to try his best, as he invites a young male badger to climb upon his lap... 'Nick' can already imagine what will happen next - as he snickers to himself!
Anyway, if you like what you see, I might be tempted to post excerpts of the artwork, highlighting some of the "Zootopia" characters, individually (so you can see the intricate details I'd put into both 'Nick' and 'Benjamin'). And hopefully, I'll post a second piece of 'fan art' from the Disney film (also with a holiday theme) by the end of this week...

FOOTNOTE #1: Since posting this illustration of mine, the Disney folks had actually beaten me to the punch, by posting a similar image of 'Clawhauser' as Santa in a promotional ad - which you can see in the "Zootopians" group site in Facebook at the following link:

FOOTNOTE #2 (1-10-16): I'd 'touched up' the artwork since the last time I'd posted it. This includes adding 'pads' to Benjamin's left paw/hand, darkening the belt on his Santa suit, and changing the phrase from "Happy Holidays" to "Happy Howlidays"! I hope you don't mind... - RC
FOOTNOTE #3 (2-3-16): I'd just learned that that Benjamin possesses a hidden 'Easter Egg' which I hadn't noticed (in various stills from "Zootopia") until now. Apparently, one of the spots on the cheetah's right cheek resembles a certain iconic logo associated with Disney. So, I'd made the necessary correction and posted the renewed image for a second time... and I'm not 'Mickey Mousing' around any more! - RC
