FINAL FANTASY IV
IMP CAP. PROJECT #595 CREATED: FEBRUARY 2018 Imps were largely undisciplined, marauding creatures, content to patrol the countryside of Baron, stirring up trouble without true direction or purpose. Only Imp Captains, with a modicum of military training, were capable of organizing their ranks and whipping them into shape. Katate Master Yang would encounter three such Imp Captains en route to Fabul, single-handedly besting them as a testament to his fighting skills. Imp Captains sometimes patrolled Mt. Hobs or the lands outside Mysidia, searching for potential Imp recruits to join their army. While they were arguably stronger and smarter than regular Imp troopers, they were still just Imps at the end of the day, and were no match for Cecil and his band of freedom fighters any time the two groups encountered one another. (The name of the Imp Captain was shortened to Imp Cap. due to the eight-digit alphanumeric character limitation for monster names, In the Game Boy Advance remake of the game, they were renamed Domovoi.) Not only did I have to make the same physical modifications to the Green Goblin toy four times in a row (cutting the pumpkin bomb out of his hand; removing his hip satchel) but I also had to sculpt four new identical heads. I built the heads in stages (doing the eyeballs first, then the mouth, then the nose, etc.) so that I could compare them against one another and try to get them as close to each other as possible. (There are minor variations between them if you look closely.) |
