RTP-Sized Chocobo

[EmuMaster2002]

I figure that since I'm getting to the point in my game where chocobos are going to pop into usage, I'm going to need an RTP sized chocobo character sprite.

I don't particularly like ccoa's resize of Showkaiser's for several reason, the least not being that it has stray pixels and looks grainy. I would much rather one built especially for RTP-sized characters. The perspective (It sort of looks like it's hunched over) is also not one I would pick.

That's probably the best concept art of chocobo's to work off of (Has the best posture that I've seen) but the size ratio of human-to-chocobo is a bit off. This chocobo should be a little smaller compared to that one.

Here's a better size ratio.

I'm sure I speak for a whole lot of (admittedly untalented) people when I say I'de like to see this done.

Of course, I don't expect anything fantastic. I don't need incredible detail. If it's on par with the RTP sprites themselves, I consider that perfect.

Thanks,

Here it is so far.

Hmm... The head looks a little low. Perhaps move it up a few pixels?

As for the back, I could seek out pictures of a chocobo from behind, if that would help.

I brought the head low on purpose. It looked funky higher up. I couldn't get the body to look right.

ZephyrSkye That looks awsome, keep up the good work, the only thing i think you should do is put the head up a little, and maybe make the feathers a little shorter.

 

[ZephyrSkye]

Kay. For some reason, the front and back views looks like crap. I can't fix them either for some reason. If someone could do them for me, I would appreciate it.

 

[EmuMaster2002]

Well, damn. I guess I have to modify the request. I need the chocobo finished, front and back animations.

Thanks a million for what you have done, Zephyr. Hopefully someone can finish it, lest it go to waste.

 

[EmuMaster2002]

Bumpish

 

[EmuMaster2002]

Again.

 

[EmuMaster2002]

Anyone? I'd hate to see this go to waste...

This guy was spriting a chocobo for me... But since you want something specific I dunno if you will like it, but just in case check the thread named CHOCOBO FIX REQUEST, just in case, I can figure what you?ll say, but hey...

hi i got a rtp-sized chocobo for you

 

[ZephyrSkye]

I know it sucks, but you have been waiting long enough.

There y'are.

 

[EmuMaster2002]

Hmm... Still think the head is a little low. Other than that, it's the best damn characterset I've ever seen and it, literally, brings a tear to my eye.

I should be able to fiddle with the head myself, so don't worry about it.

 

[ZephyrSkye]

I will try the front view one more time. Wait for an edit.

Edit:

[EmuMaster2002]

Wow. That was a lot better than my edit (mine somehow made it look pregnant...)

Anyway, this topic is in every way, shape, and form resolved.

Thanks for everything, ZephyrSkye.
