Just watched Zootopia 2 and got inspired to share this (again). I was uploading stuff on DeviantArt a few years before I moved to FurAffinity, so you may not know that it was the first Zootopia movie that originally got me into 3D art, _{(and into furries)}.

The year was 2016. And while I had done some casual 3D modeling before, this time I decided to get serious, especially with characters. After half a year of learning, this was the first thing I decided to upload online. Technically not my first character model, but the first one that stuck for a little while and eventually evolved into a character model I would even share online. Of course I knew nothing about rigging or anything else, so soon after sharing it, it got picked up by some more talented people and improved. If you've seen some old Hakya animations, you have seen this model a plenty of times. ^^

But yeah, this is where it all started for me almost 10 years ago and I'm still not having any regrets... :D
