Zootopia spoilers inbound!

This is what I envision might've happened before that crucial point of the film's climax. It's a pivotal moment for both Judy and Nick, as it shows what they both accomplished together and tests what they've learned. By now, we see that Nick helped Judy overcome her subconscious fear of foxes, and in doing so, after everything they both have been through together, Judy helped Nick finally fulfill the Ranger Scout oath he had taken all those years ago.

I, Nicholas Wilde, promise to be brave, loyal, helpful, and... trustworthy.

I haven't drawn fanart in years, and I haven't drawn comics in even longer! It goes to show you the impact this film had on me. You'll find my initial thoughts on Zootopia back in my Journals, and this comic here is over just one more aspect of the film I couldn't help but admire. The friendship they built is well-earned, and even after seeing it multiple times in the theater, I still wanna see it again. Hunting for reference material for these comic only increased that desire.

...

The wait for the Blu-ray release is gonna be rough...
