Gooood Morning Zootopia! And welcome to this week’s ZNN Art of the Day collection.
Today’s gallery is dedicated to someone we’ve been wanting to feature for a long time, Judy’s favorite niece, Little Cotton Hopps.
She only appeared in the movie for few seconds, and had no spoken lines. Nonetheless, she’s been a fan favorite ever since she made her debut. Everybody loves Little Cotton–and we hope to see more of her in the sequel.
And now, as it’s never wise to keep an adorable little bunny-girl waiting, let’s scroll on down and check out the rest of the artwork. Enjoy….and don’t forget to show the original artists some love by clicking on the source-links.
———————————————————————————-
Probably no artist has done more with Cotton Hopps than our perennial favorite, Qalcove.
And as you can see from the following illustrations, she’s a bunny of many moods.
Little Cotton can be angry…or cheeky…

This image, and the pics above and below, are part of a Christmas-caroling series that Qal created a couple of years back.

At times like this, it’s easy to understand why Cotton is Judy’s favorite niece.

Hmmm, take a look at the expression on Nick and Judy’s faces here. What do you suppose Cotton is saying to them?

There’s the Iceball plush again. Ice is the creation of another of our favorite artists, Ribbontini

| Uncle Nick by QalcoveArt Source [14] |
No doubt you’ve noticed the ‘Uncle Nick’ captions by now, It’s the title of a comic that Qalcove is working on.

Putting Nick and Little Cotton together is also a popular notion within the Zootopia Fanfiction community…present company included.

#4: Blue Shirt Guy: Don’t have a good day. Have a great day!
She did have one line in the film, calling out “Bye, Judy! I love you!” as Judy’s train pulled out from Bunnyburrow.
That one of grown Cotton reminds me of a fake I read a while ago, I don’t exactly remember the name, but it was one where the Hopps burrow was destroyed, and Nick had to watch after three young children until Judy found him. If someone knows the name of this fic, or think they may know, please help me out, but that’s what that one reminds me of
