"I didn't like you then either!"

Another piece of fanart for The Fox and the Hound. To contrast with the cutesy and chill feel of the last one, here's one depicting the fight between Tod and Copper. It's a shame that there wasn't any real dialogue from adult!Copper during the climatic scenes in the game preserve. I would've loved to have seen Tod and Copper duke it out verbally before the latter goes in for the kill. It just felt like Tod was way too accepting of the fact that his childhood best friend wanted him dead, especially considering it was he who put up the most resistance to ending the friendship.

There wasn't any inkling of guilt or sadness from Tod (or Copper, for that matter) during these scenes and it made the 'twist' of him diving in and saving Copper from the bear feel like it shoehorned in at the last second. I would've also loved to have seen a tiniest hint of remorse mixed in with sarcasm from Copper as well, like lamenting on how they were once friends and then just turning into a dick and commenting that Tod was too stupid to see that he would kill him eventually. lol

As for the art style, I decided to go with the stylised theme that most battle scenes take on, partially to make it more exciting and partially to save time on animation (or, in my case, colouring and such). It came out looking OK, a bit more dramatic than it would've been if I'd gone to town on it. I also left out Copper's collar to make him appear more feral and because that bitch so hard to draw onto him.

this is really good I love how you put a dark theme on fox and the hound it to me seems to fit the movie better
I just realized the bottom pic of copper looks like~i2.wp.com/caps.pictures/198/1-… it's cool you made it look differently and he looks better without his collar too like it tore off when he was chasing todΒ

I also felt Tod was too accepting. He knew Copper grudge him because what happened to Chief, but how the hell would that be Tods fault? I mean , Tod couldn't have done anything to stop the train, besides, Chief was the one pursuing him, he was just trying to stay alive. It seems a bit unfair from Copper to blame Tod for what happened.

this is amazing I love your work.Β 
I agree with this I wish adult copper had more dialogue too I feel like the movie gave Todd too much and it didn't really focus on adult Copper much except when he was planning revenge on Todd. I wish they talked more in the movie too. i also wish they focused on Todd too when copper was on his hunting trip but I guess that would've been a long movie. I love fox and the hound but in some spots the movie seemed a little rushed but oh well. that's why people make fanart.Β

I really like this, most fan arts I see is when they're young and happy together~

I found watching this part with their fight scary when i was little

Thank you so much. and lol I know, they were as cute as all hell when they were young. I just have this AU where Copper actually develops into a full-blown antagonist and they don't make up in the end (which is more accurate to the original book) and this is one of the drawings depicting that.Β 

and omfg same. Tod went from 1 to 1000 so freaking fast with those scary red eyes of his. 8CC

Yeah, the book is great but just gonna pre-warn you that it's terribly depressing and filled to the brim with animal death. Oh, and the author goes into real in-depth detail about how Tod meets and greets his various girlfriends. xDD
