My sona uses Elena's Sunflower Festival dress (from the Elena of Avalor episode 'Rise of the Sorceress') in two quirky and fun ways: as a parachute, and as a blanket to take a nice nap in! ^^

Drawn by the lovely @skeletonguys-and-ragdolls!

Say what you will, but if you ask me, skunks have such beautiful fluffy tails! And my good friend and regular collaborator @skeletonguys-and-ragdolls' Zoosona is no exception!

A lovely illustration piece done for me by the talented 'Nivarra' over on DeviantArt and FurAffinity! Featuring Gerry as a little baby, along with his parents Sarah and Dermot! They're enjoying some quality family time outside on a clear winter's night, with a warm campfire and yummy roasted marshmallows!

I don't know about you, but I am very confident that 2019 will be one heck of a fun-filled year! So many upcoming movies to look forward to! So many opportunities to grasp onto, especially when it comes to pursuing my dream career in animation and related arts! And of course, starting off fresh and new, and hopefully have more time and confidence in my hands to show off more of my own artwork and other content!

Also, around the middle of January, I'll be starting off with a new online animation team as a digital ink/paint artist working on some nifty hand-drawn 2D projects of theirs. I look so forward to not only helping out these guys, but also furthering my skills and prospering on my long and challenging path to fulfilling my dreams!

I wish you all the best of luck, and have a great 2019! ^^

Plus, here's a lil piece done by @skeletonguys-and-ragdolls and myself. It's my bunny self once again, but this time, as a little baby just waking up on the first morning of the year. P.S: I've been wanting to see my zoosona as a baby for a while now. ^_^

Thank you in particular, Diana! I find your artwork very inspiring, and I'm so happy to be collaborating with you regularly these days!

P.S: For those who might be wondering who bids Gerry a Happy New Year, it's one of his two foster parents, whom will be revealed soon (and NO, it's not Judy and Nick!).

That's right! Today is my 21st birthday! ^^

And to celebrate, here's a special gift sketch done by my good friend on Patreon, 'YelnatsDraws', featuring me in my rabbit form alongside by ZPD heroes Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde!

Bits of his character arc

Gerry's personality is largely based on his real life counterpart (me! And my name just so happens to be Gerry! XD)

The story between Gerry and and his real life counterpart are both totally different!

His breed is a American Jackrabbit-European Hare mix, as evident by his ears and his hare-like nose. His biological mother is a jackrabbit named Sarah, and his biological father is an Irish emigrant hare named Dermot (hence Gerry's Irish descent).

He's born and partially-raised in a distant part of the North American region, outside of both Bunnyburrow and Zootopia.

A couple of guys on e621.net (where I upload some of my commission pieces) thought I was making him a child to Judy and Nick, when that's not the case at all. He's in a totally different walk-of-life to them. He is however a major fan of the duo, ever since he discovered them on a reality TV show.

It's often expected in fictional media that rabbits (and sometimes hares) would have dozens of offspring/children (as this is sorta true with wild rabbits, as they tend to commonly produce litters, especially in springtime; pet rabbits would probably do so too if given the opportunity...), but that's not the case with Gerry's family. He was the only child born to the rabbit and hare couple of Sarah and Dermot (until a decade later), but he was kidnapped by a deceitful nanny that they unintentionally hired when he was only a year and a quarter old. He was taken to be sold for overseas child labor, but he would then be rescued by the police that busted this crime syndicate, and brought to an adoption centre at Bunnyburrow, but they were unable to track his parents anywhere. Fortunately, he would be adopted by a kind widowed hare lady named Heidi. 7 years later, he would be reunited with his parents, as they were finally able to discover his whereabouts! And not long after, his parents would then have triplets. Two girls named Elizabeth and Virginia, and one boy named Kevin, thus Gerry would become the big older brother of these kids.

His right-side ear got slightly notched as a result of being bullied at school by both a rat named Jake and a raccoon named Kyle, particularly for his emotional drive and rather wimpy attitude during his foster-child school years.

He's not codenamed 'Andro-Ace Bunny' for nothing. He may be a male, but he's one that's quite androgynous. He has some feminine qualities to him, such as taking interest in some female-oriented activities such as yoga, childcare, etc., getting either really giddy or really annoyed easily, doesn't feel comfortable in taking some major risks, and prefering to sit on the toilet in the restroom instead of standing up like a normal guy (though he sometimes would do the latter). Plus, he has little to no sexual desire or attraction, hence the asexual identity. However, he finds non-sexual/romantic attraction towards both male and female of any species, therefore he's bi-romantic!

Character details about Gerry's parents, his younger triplet siblings and his foster mother Heidi will be coming soon!

His likes and dislikes

He’s very fond of video games, culture, drawing, computers, technology, music (particularly film scores, Xmas songs and chart hits from the 80s and 90s), beverages like Coca-Cola, banana juice and milk tea.

But not exactly a fan of carrots (unusual for bunnies! Another stereotype debunked!), coffee (unless it has milk) and heated arguments.

His favourite love songs are "Beauty and the Beast", "Baby Mine" and "Flying Dreams".

He pursues a career as a game programmer and working at Carrot (the 'Zootopia' version of Apple). Though again, he also enjoys drawing as a hobby.

Why he’s a rabbit

Just for those wondering...

(The following is a unpopular opinion) Contrast to most Zootopia fans I know, my favourite character in the movie is actually Judy Hopps (with only Nick Wilde as the runner-up, I will add in all fairness). I relate to her the most, and I find her to be a very positive female role model, especially for the next generations to come.

I've been inspired by the fursonas/Zoosonas of @trashasaurusrex, 'CiderBunArt' and @spazziebunnie to make a rabbit fursona of my own. I had a fursona already but this one was a brown dog. So I gave this character a total makeover during autumn of 2016 and changed his species into a rabbit/hare-mix.

According to Zootopia, rabbits are generally very emotionally-driven and effeminate animals. I could practically relate to this with all sincerity. In real life, I find myself to be less masculine than the average Joe where I come from. I don't work out much. I get really excited about something easily. And I have such a very soft spot for babies, pet animals and other cute things. But then there are times where I'm very emotionally unstable and sensititve. I get nervous easily. And whether it be bad luck or a missed opportunity, I tend to get very frustrated or mad at myself.

Ever since the likes of Zootopia and Watership Down, I found myself very fond of rabbits, more than I ever had before.
