Description
She was the second one I wanted to draw from Zootopia / Zootropolis, and I completely forgot her yesterday... I didn't wanted to draw any spoilers since many people haven't seen the movie, so I will only draw portraits (I'm a bit tired of compex scenes anyway lately...)I liked how male and female sheeps looked different, so here are some body guards for her too

Yeah as kinda expected as this was I still liked and appreciated where they went with this character in tandem with the movie's themes.....can't wait to see how Kingdom Hearts 3 takes a dump on it all. Oy vey....

I love this, especially the shading and composition. You've done well.

I always wondered why the female Sheep have normal eyes and the male ones have realistic eyes xD

I heard it had something to do with puberty in males, plus at the beginning one of Judy's friends is a boy sheep with normal eyes.

Well, I suppose it was a case of symbolism. By giving Doug and his minions their 'natural' eyes so to speak, it would speak volumes about just how distanced they really are from the other Zootopia citizens.

Yeah, other animals had natural looking eyes too. (Like that beaver reporter at the meeting.)

Still, the difference is how they are used. Those rodent bankers for example would have those black beady eyes for the cuteness factor etc.

I have used your artwork in a YouTube video about the film Zootopia, and I have linked it in my description. If you would like a link to the video I will provide it, but I did not want to spam my content in your comment section. -Gauche

Hated this little bitch, not so much for her goals, but rather for how weak her plan and motivation were and just how weak as a character she was. What's the point of darting 14 predators into savage monsters, if they all ended up in a secret clinic ? What about unleashing them on the streetsΒ ? Create an army out of them ? Nope, just dart them and leave them there.
Second, from how the movie portrays her, her motivation was rather dumb : the Mayor mistreats her, the mayor is a predator, all predator are bad. That's some backwards, overly simplistic thinking there. Don't like the job ? Then leave it already, you moronic ovine ! That way, you can spend your time BETTER working at your master plan.
Third, I'm sick as hell of these plot-twist villains. Because they are shoehorned in the last minute, because they're shallow and uninteresting, because their plans are all over the place, because they are not intimidating in the least, not even after the "BIIIIIG REVEAL", and simply because they're inept.
The only exception here being King Candy/Turbo. I love that guy, because we see his character evolving through the movie, because he's both goofy and bumbling, but shrewd, competent and heartless at the same time.
Hans sucked big time. Yokai/Callagahan wasn't even a real villain, so he's excused in a way too. But this stupid, stupid, stupid sheep........Urgggghhhhhh.
Anyway, nice drawing.

By the way, I thought you'd be interested in this article someone wrote. Let me assure you that you're not the only one who sees something flawed and wrong with how Bellwether was unfairly used. Even Mr. Enter does not like how she is too underdeveloped with not enough screen time and bigger reasons behind her plans that don't make her a real diabolical villain like others who are better at it than her. It sucks how some people just overlook these flaws and think just because she is small, cute, and whatever, that makes her more evil than the others, but it doesn't prove anything. And you're right, King Candy is the only true diabolical of the twist villains. And I uploaded the video by the Nostalgia Critic who also notices the change in these plot twist villains.

Am I The Only Person That Actually Hates Zootopia?

You are so right about how she can never reach the same diabolical villainous level that Fire Lord Ozai and Kuvira have already proven to be, far more clever in their villainous plot and dictatorship than Bellwether ever could be. While I still love Bellwether, she doesn't fit that description of a true dictator as we know the real criminal masterminds would have all their plans planned out and start their reign of terror at a fast pace, which she of course had lacked.

She is adorable you have to admit

*spoilers*
A lovely picture that, in my humble opinion, displays the duality of our fluffy little assistant mayor. Β I really liked Bellwether and - all things aside - I find myself still liking her even after the reveal of her being the antagonist. Β I'm reminded of something Stephen King once wrote about one of his characters (Peter's brother Thomas from "The Eyes of the Dragon"): "If you hate this person for the things they did and allowed to be done, then I understand...but if you do not pity them a little as well, I will be very surprised".
P.S.: Is it just me, or is Disney kind of going overboard with the whole "surprise antagonist" thing? Wreck-It Ralph, Big Hero 6, Frozen, and now Zootopia? Β Got nothing against it, but when you shoehorn in a villain in perhaps the last half-hour or so, you miss out on a lot of time you could have spent developing their personality/motivation more. Β Again, just my opinion, but I hope it's not turning into a trend.

I had this idea that explains her actions.

I love her too, even after I saw the movie a third time, still unable to hate her. I find her actions and Callaghan's rather understandable, even if it's inexcusable where lives could have been lost on both their parts.
π: 0 β©: 0
I didn't. Her motivations were dumb, from how the movie portrayed her and her plan was all over the place.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sorry you feel that way, but people can be allowed to like whatever villains they want. You don't like her, good for you.
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL I'm not telling people they're not allowed to like her. Where did you get that idea ?
There are interesting things about like the Whole serum thing, but she's just very underdeveloped and badly written.
π: 0 β©: 1
But it sounded like that's what youΒ were saying.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's your impression lol
π: 0 β©: 1
Listen, I've been thinking of everything you have been saying about her motivations not living up to the higher expectations of what anyone would expect from a true criminal mastermind and it turns out...you are right. I don't understand why anyone compares her to Donald Trump or Adolf Hitler, especially when Donald Trump is not part of any killing conspiracy happening or else he would have been busted already (don't like talking about politicians or don't know why anyone brings them up when discussing most villains) Hitler did much worse in his time and had everything planned. IF any true villainous dictator should be compared to Hitler, it should be Fire Lord Ozai and Kuvira. So I apologize if some of my replies came off rude at first.
Bellwether is still my favorite character, but I think someone else should have been the villain instead of her because as you say, she is underdeveloped and badly written as a true Disney villain with no real background story other than "I'm racist for no real reason other than money and power" which doesn't make any sense at all, not even if some fools insist Lionheart's mistreatment is convincing enough, but it is not. Are those people blind to believe that? They should have released her background story on why she really hates predators and where it all started, not make it look like she only wants power for the sake of it. They better come up with a deeper development on her character in a graphic novel or sequel. Right now, most of us can only guess that she is from the same background as Nick and Judy, but being a sheep herself, possibly had it worse than those two.

ROFLMAO People compare her to Trump ????? They have ZERO in common.
But yeah, I'm glad you came to this conclusion.
If you like her, that's fine. Maybe you just see more potential in what she could have been and more headcanon theories/what-ifs.
π: 0 β©: 1
I know right, how stupid can people be comparing her to Trump when he has yet to be found guilty of the same crimes. Such zero IQs found there from such idiots bringing in real life politicians to compare Bellwether to. As if they've never seen other villains that deserve the role more than Bellwether, such as Fire Lord Ozai and Kuvira that are true dictators and tyrants.

I imagined that after she got Judy out of the picture, she would have gone after Gazelle, either turning her savage or killing her with savages, using her as either a pariah or a martyr. Once she took over, she might start a full predator genocide.
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly what I was thinking. Β She most likely would have used one of Gazelle's own tiger dancers to do it.
π: 0 β©: 1
That would make a cool AU story where Bellwhether wins and descends to Frollo's level of evil.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I made a human AU where Nick is the bad guy

I never noticed until now, but Bellwether resembles a female Sven-gallop from "My little Pony Friendship is Magic".Β
They both have the same curly hairstyle, both wear blue suits, glasses, and could both qualify as villains.
In fact, I could see Bellwether acting out Sven-gallop's role as a snobby, overbearing, abusive, irredeemable agent.
π: 0 β©: 1
I've just googled it, really, the ylook similar 
π: 0 β©: 2
It's also surreal to imagine Sven-gallop playing Bellwether's role, especially the part about being nice or meek.

Me too. Something must have happened to her outside of Lionheart's mistreatment.Β

I neever seen a sheep in real life, but if those "things" are their eyes and those are their gazes... god... soo creepy.

I've seen several times, and those eyes...
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah, their eyes kind of look like that.
