Description

Early concept art of zootopia, likely from a "second phase" after the prototype movies with jack savage and before the tame collar stuff.

This is probably one of the first if not the first version of judy (It seems she was not a cop at first originally) when she was created before being given the role of a cop and later redesigned completely with her fur now being her characteristic grey instead of beige.

The original source at X (twitter) been deleted and versions with higher resolution cannot be found.

    I understand that in that version of Zootopia (before the taming collar) Judy was going to be a radio operator and Nick was going to be a special agent. In this version there was going to be a taming earring (which would later be worn to a necklace).

    I thought during that time zootopia was still being envisioned as a movie with heavy film noir influences where Nick was supossed to be some kind of detective and Judy like you said a radio operator who was gonna be a key witness in a case (pretty much their roles were inverted in later versions of the movie).

    Also good lord this alpha/beta judy was TALL af

    Wasn't the original Zootopia concept a James Bond-esque spy flick starring Jack Savage? If Judy and Nick had any existence at that point, it would have been as minor supporting characters.

    Nick and Judy didn't exists at that time yet, The first version known of zootopia was the prototype series of films starring the characters jack savage and skye with one of them being called 'Savage City' which after a time probably in late 2012 it was decided that only that one was going to be made into a full movie and the pitch idea of an anthology was scrapped along with jack and skye which were redesigned/replaced with nick and judy though it was still gonna be a spy thriller film.
