Mandarin Nick and Judy by [政58

Source [1]

This album got its start when a new member joined the ZNN translation staff, HarrytheStampy/ Pudong, our Chinese language specialist.

Harry, who hails from Hong Kong, soon made me aware of the trove of Zootopia fanart created by some Chinese artists. Many of these, such as the cover pic of Nick with Judy in Mandarin robes, were absolutely breathtaking.

And so we present for your appreciation, a collection of Zootopia fanart in classical Chinese settings. Enjoy, and don’t forget to show the original artists some love by clicking on the source links. (And many thanks, Harry.)

Get your art after the break!

Source [3] (Comments by the original artist.) 《Bao Qing Tian(包青天)》is a classic Chinese TV series in the 1990s,telling the story of Bao Zheng(包拯)–the most memorable mayor and judge in Song Dynasty–punishing crimes and preserving social justice with his subordinates and paladin friends, as well as finally being called 包青天(Bao Qing Tian,Bao the pure-blue heaven) by the nation throughout history. Here Benjamin Clawhauser becomes Bao Qing Tian（but only a supporting actor this time, unfortunately). Judy becomes 御猫 展昭（Zhan Zhao the royal cat), Bao’s most trusted constable and guard. Nick becomes 锦毛鼠 白玉堂（Bai Yutang the brocade-fur rat), a righteous rogue swordsman Though Zhan and Bai are police and rogue,they are friends indeed (and even regarded as BL couples by some nowadays, lol), just as Nick & Judy are.
