Hello again, fellow fans of Zootopia. And welcome to another amazing Art of the Day Collection, brought to you by ZNN.

This week’s gallery focuses on another of our favorite artists; tropical fish fancier, pet bunny wrangler, dedicated sport-fisherman, and avid collector of Zootopia merchandise, the one and only Zigrock.

Zig, as he’s affectionately known to the ZNN staff, is not only one of the most talented artists in the Zootopia Fandom, but also one of the most prolific.  Today’s collection represents a mere fraction of his total output–and that’s only the Zootopia artwork. Go take a peek at his Twitter/X and Deviantart pages sometime.  You’ll find all kinds of Aggretsuko and Brony fanart as well.  He was also the first artist to create a piece of D23/Z2 fanart…at least that we saw. 

And now, let’s get to the pics. Enjoy…and don’t forget to show Zigrock some love by clicking on the source-links.

———————————————————————————————————————————

We open, as we’re prone to do, with series of pics dedicated to our favorite bunny cop.

Zigrock is another one of those artists whose work just keeps getting better and better.  The perspective here is simply exquisite.

And now it’s time to concentrate on Nick for a while.

And speaking of Judy, let’s bring her back into the mix.

Methinks it’s safe to say that Zigrock is a WildeHopps booster.  That little lens-flare effect just makes this pic.

Skye Dances…not to be confused with the studio of a similar name.
