Let’s talk a bit about Nirlock.

What is it? An AU webcomic with the scope of merging the characters and ideas of Zootopia with the brilliant series Sherlock. I am a huge fan of both, and I think if we don’t screw it up it will work brilliantly with Nick and Judy. It will NOT be a Sherlock remake with Zootopia-skins slapped onto the characters. What we want to do is imagine what Nick and Judy would be like if they were to take on the roles of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. I won’t go into detail about the actual plot, but I sure hope you will enjoy it!

Who is involved? Weaver, Igarniger and Wartoxdude, to name a few. It’s my project, but they all agreed to help and they pretty much came up with the plot outline and wrote the dialogue. I’ll mainly take care of the visuals.

What you are seeing here are character sketches, locations and a few snippets of dialogue to get to know these characters better. They (hopefully) do not reflect the quality of the final comic.

And finally, that awesome cityscape of Zootopia with the Big Ben and London Eye was done by Weaver as a birthday gift, he deserves all the credit for that, and it looks amazing!

Zootopia study. I tried to take a picture of zootopia and insert Nick and judy in it, matching the colours/values to those of the scene without reference. Harder to do than it sounds! Colours can change drastically depending on the overall mood of the scene and you need to consider how the light behaves. I had to take into account that its all in shadow and that the sky would cause some indirect lighting on the parts facing a particular direction. I am quite pleased with the colours I ended up with in the end!

I animated a walkcycle of Nick for Uni! The tail is a bit wonky, but I like the overall motion.

that ask made me wanna draw a thing from future-of-lux-comic. so here's a panel from chapter 7...

here's some very future concept art for season 2 of the Lux comic- in which he meets Coppélia, a robotic stuffed-toy zebra. They use any and all pronouns. These are early days obviously, and I'm trying not to get distracted and draw them too soon, as I have a lot of season 1 to go before we reach this part of the story... but they're so cute!

major breakthrough with Coppélia's design; ragdoll mane! the hair never fitted and I finally realised I just had to make it more toy-like!

also yes they are both very conspicous characters when it comes to. say. time travelling on Earth where there are Humans so they have to do a lot of hiding, pretending to be toys, puppets etc...... so of course we get The Box Trope

sorry if this is nitpicky I'm genuinely just curious how Coppelia works! assuming it has a robotic structure with motors and processors, how does he not overheat underneath the plush covers?

whyanonI'msogladyouasked did you know one of my favourite things in the world is soft robotics and all the possibilities it holds?

so yes there is sci-fi nonsense to it as well, but we already have robots that use fluids and air to support them and move: Coppélia isn't stuffed with fluff, but is instead filled with a liquid coolant! they aren't fluffy either, but are in fact rubbery and very slightly squishy to hug (and a bit squeaky too!)
