*Re-uploaded both magazine spread AND text-less versions because the colours were off. That's one of my BIGGEST pet peeves; one piece can look great on the tablet, but extremely off on another screen or when viewed during daylight*

VQ Zootopia - Vulpine Style & Fashion, Politics, Trends and Culture

Pick-up the Vulpes Vulpes (Red Fox) Edition in stores and online this April featuring the ZPD's first fox Nicholas Wilde.


I had a lot of fun making this piece and treating it like an actual work assignment. This is probably the most detailed character piece as well - I'm definitely not known for my rendering skills. But I actually like my first serious attempt!

Here's a version without the magazine text included for you guys!


I kinda wanna write a whole page spread for this now... I'll upload the cover to DA tomorrow. I did wanna do one for Claw and Judy as well, so we'll see what happens!

Absolutely love the shading work, and Nick would definitely be the type to do a magazine cover, no questions asked lol

The DETAIL!!! It's like I can see every strand of fur on Zootopia's darling fox. XD You knocked it out of the park with this one, Qal.

Please excuse me as I pick my jaw up off the floor 😮

Hot damn Qal the detail is stunning! Words cannot describe how awesome this is. This is simply amazing Qal. The shading and the detail on nick are just so... WOW! I love the little blurbs on the magazine as well they fit so well with Nick on the cover. This is truly top notch Qal!

Wooo, you almost made a man faint over here Qal, look at that HUNK! In all seriousness, this is a wonderfully beautiful piece, and I'd definitely be subscribed to this magazine if it meant seeing this handsome fox on it.

The lighting in this is so good Qal!!! I hope I can do lighting like this eventually.

It's the collector's edition of Vulpine's Quarterly 😮 All those tips from S1m must've made wonders 🙃

Superbly done, Qal! Love how you played around with the lighting, shading and colours. I am definitely going to be one of those lining up when you open your commissions. ^^

Colonel Arbuckle

Stunningly gorgeous, Qal!!! The detail in the fur, the lighting, that shirt, wow!! Would love to see you do the Judy and Claw ones too if you feel so inclined! <3

Beautiful work. The cover is fun and it is great that you included the fully exposed Wilde.

Oh this looks fantastic! I can't wait to see what you have planned for the other two. I can totally see Clawhauser doing something like a food based magazine :)

Phenomenal art, really pulls you into the world. Love the caption you chose, too. Fitting for Slick Nick’s first big mag pic.

Thanks Cody! I spent a lot of time on details I never would've spent time on and somehow had a lot of fun making it! The headlines were also a lot of fun to come up with; I wish I could've included everyone's ideas. But who knows, maybe I'll make another one! Maybe I'll make one for all the major side characters!

qalcove

Noooo don't faint Kirby! And I know what you mean; heck, I'D subscribe if I could!

qalcove

Thanks Kino and you totally can! Just takes a lot of practice and knowledge. Better artists told me the parts I messed the lighting up on so I'm still a novice myself, but we can do it!

qalcove

Awww thank you JKnight! I'm not sure if/when I'll offer commissions at THIS quality since it take a very long time to make, but you never know!

OmGOD!! That sweet rendered bacon like mmmmmmm!!!!! Qal! You're making my eyeballs fat n drippy with this. Fricken love the article titles n hooks too. So creative. Classy new shirt design for him n look at that smolder to melt a boulder! Nick never looked so fresh Nick on the zoot Bachelor au spin-off anyone? And Jude showing up as a contestant dealing with all the shallow materialistic n fame seeking contestants trying to win his heart anyone? Whew! QAL!!! Guuuuurrrrrrrrllllll 👌🏽😩

qalcove

I love this comment from my heart, Moss!! I can't stop laughing at "making my eyeballs fat n drippy with this" - gonna need to screenshot this for the bad times XD. And that smolder...I dunno why I gave him such a smolder! I was watching Tangled at the time and Eugene was getting to me, topped with a reference pic I took of myself and here we are! That Zoot Bachelor au spin-off tho! I don't think EITHER of them could put up with that much scripted, artificial BS for that long! XD

qalcove

Thanks so much BonesBoy15! The goal was definitely to make it feel real!

qalcove

I'd actually discussed last week that my head-cannon is that Claw is actually an astounding cook so I wanted to put him on Zoot Chef magazine!

Foxdoc

That is one handsome fox. You do well with your art as always but wow!

InTheLionsDen

The color correction brings up a lot of lovely detail. Would it be possible to get the non-text image adjusted as well?

qalcove

Yessir! Once I get home, I’ll redo it and re-upload for the final time!

qalcove

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to render this so I'm glad it turned out ok! THANK YOU!
