FINAL FANTASY IV
CHOCOBO (WHITE) PROJECT #573 CREATED: 2017 The comparatively rare white Chocobo was a bit harder to find than the more common yellow variety. If Cecil and his companions managed to trap one, though, it rewarded them with a complete restoration of all their hit points and magic points—thus enabling them to save their hard-earned gold pieces instead of staying at the local inn or having to waste a tent or cabin while camping overnight out in the field. White Chocobos were slippery and quick on their feet, which sometimes made catching them difficult, but it was well worth the effort. The white Chocobo, as it appears in Final Fantasy IV, uses the same basic sprite template as the regular-colored Chocobo but has a markedly different color scheme. While the look of the white Choboco has been refined with each game, in Final Fantasy IV they appear to have white plumage with pink wings and a light yellow beak. I tried to use all the same colors from the 16-bit sprite when painting my version, though I did get a little artsy with the shading and highlights. I had originally done this project as a straight repaint until I realized it really needed a different beak and some additional plumage to help complete the look. |
