Description 6th page of my Zootopia-related comic project.

FINALLY ! Didn't I tell you I'd be back ? I am able to work on that project again. Although it may take more time to make each one of the new pages.

The Secret of Finnick, pt.5  << PREV | NEXT >> The Secret of Finnick, pt.7

Stock used : shots and pictures from the movie, which greatly helped me creating the character poses, texturing and backgrounds.

I like the concept of the story but I think you over did it a bit with Nick crying and all of that...

In my opinion, and take it for what it is, the story could have benefited from a more adult approach.

When you think about it, Finnick was almost made for that one gag where he tells Nick off for kissing him... yet you pointed out a good fact with this story. What's the depth of their relationship together? Friends, associates, etc., etc.

I like it when people give their opinion !

But what did you mean with "a more adult approach" ? Crying is also an adult thing, not only for kids.

My bad, I wasn't clear enough.

Yes, crying is something everyone does, adults too, but the setting and reasons for Nick crying seemed bland, forced and out of character for me. I mean... calling him "his son"? I was really expecting him to be pulling Judy's leg there. It seems too much. When you watch how Finnick and Nick interact with each other it really doesn't seem to be that kind of a relationship.

Now, what I meant with a more adult approach was having Nick try to figure out if Finnick resents him for leaving him behind, or trying to help him get over that way of life. Maybe even just try to show him that even though they aren't associates anymore they can still hang out as friends... or maybe just try to figure out if they were friends in the first place. This kind of stuff. I'm sorry if I can't be more precise, I think I'd end up writing an entire script if I went into depth here.

Overall, the whole "I let him down!" thing just doesn't sound right to me.

But of course, that's just my opinion. Take it for what it is.

Well, it actually isn't out of character because they really had a son/father relationship during their previous hustles together. And they still have this particular relationship somehow, a kind of game for money to help Finnick out, as his ways to make a living haven't changed. As you may see it in the first page of the comic (and in the 6th one), Finnick & Nick are still performing hustles schemes using the "baby Finnick" every now and then, at least for the part from getting gathering the Jumbo Pop to melting it. 

Your adult approach focuses on Finnick's way of life and the fact that he was left behind. But this is not the main theme of my comic. The aforesaid theme is their relationship as father/son. It was supposed to be an acting game, but with Nick's emotions and Finnick's past getting in the way, things are going sour.  Nick is not sure about how Finnick actually felt when he played (he still plays) this game. Was it strictly professional, only for money ?

That is the question.

Of course it's your comic and you are entitled to writting it as you wish it.

We'll have to disagree on the nature of Finnick and Nick's preexistant relationship. Imo, they just had a convinient business relationship. I don't see Nick getting emotionally involved, specially after all that "don't let them see that they get to you" attitude.

But of course, you are the artist and I couldn't draw a circle even if I used the bottom of a glass to help me so who am I to complain, right?

Despite my disagreement, I still look forward to reading the new pages.

Thanks for taking the time to talk about this, I imagine you have better things to do.

The nature of Finnick and Nick's preexisting relationship is up to one's imagination, for there are no real indications about it. I chose this scenario with no intention to impose it.

And for the "don't let them see that they get to you" attitude, I guess the fox's though nature was somehow softened when a certain bunny came into his life. And since he thought he was alone with her, he let his heart out in all honesty. I doubt he'd have been that far knowing Finnick was around...hence the plot twist in my comic.
