Title: The Chocobo That Time Forgot
Post by: Bloodworth on September 05, 2008, 03:36:47 AM: So, when I was working on the Chocobo's Dungeon review, I was thinking about how the chocobo's look has changed throughout the years, but I couldn't find this old Amano drawing anywhere online. So I decided to snap a shot of it and upload it myself. Some people think it's creepy, but I like it:

I looked over some of Amano's art books that I possess, but I couldn't find that Chocobo, or any Chocobo for that matter. Where did you find it?

Post by: Kairon on September 05, 2008, 07:09:09 PM: There's a reason that I never warmed to Amano's art style, and this nightmare of a terror bird is a perfect example of why.

PS - Its awesome, I want one as a pet and as a form of transportation to work

Amano's art is fabulous even if it horrifies you.

Post by: Bloodworth on September 07, 2008, 05:31:07 PM: Yeah, after I posted it here, I still thought I'd want more people to check it out. So I put it on my GT Blog and NeoGAF and submitted it to GoNintendo since I figured RMC would find it interesting.
