This is the chocokeeper moogle variant I made for Memoria. The base moogle was used of course, but the costume design was based off a ton of kids zookeeper costumes. This was a character costume I dreamed up as I felt someone should be taking care of those sweet Chocobos. I had a few other costumes in the works but sadly there wasn't time to complete them all before the deadline. I included some zbrush screenshots of the WIPs anyways!
I hope you enjoy a new take on this classic little guy!
