Boco the Choo

Boco the Choo. XD A children's story based off of Winnie the Pooh, starring Boco the Chocobo, Bartz Klauser and Tonberry. lol

This is actually something born out of Three SOLDIERs and a Lady, my FF7:Crisis Core fanfic. How? Well...here is a sneak peak of Chapter six.

Preview:

“What's that book you're reading, Persephone?”

“It's Loveless!”

“Loveless? Really?” Sephiroth privately smirked to himself as Genesis seemed to perk up at the mere mention of his favorite epic poem (and play and annotated novel and movie and series and etc, etc...)

Genesis was frowning though, for one reason or another. Persephone looked pleased that they had noticed.

“Yeap! Papa bought me a copy the day after I met you. He said it's a ' pre-empty strike' against any 'corn-uption' from Uncle Genesis,” she said, having a bit of trouble with her words. Sephiroth looked a bit confused, not used to the jumbled speech of a child, but Genesis understood what she meant. Especially since it involved him.

“I do believe she's trying to say that Angeal wanted to ' pre-empt' any possible 'corruption' I might do, concerning Loveless.” The commander in red scoffed. “As if I would do that! I do read other books besides Loveless, you know!”

Could have fooled us, was what went through Sephiroth's mind. Mako eyes watched as Genesis picked up one of the books he had pulled out from his bag. They were quite new, with glossy, brightly colored covers with the picture of a chocobo on each front. Some had a scared little moogle with said chocobo, or a dog-like animal with bright red fur that seemed to enjoy bouncing around. The general wondered if these books were some kind of reference books on the beasts of Gaia made for children, since the features of the animals were quite exaggerated and made them to seem...more pleasing to the eye.

“Anyways...forget Loveless. You're too young to fully understand the majesty that is the epic tale as spun by the goddess, Minerva, herself.” Genesis showed the little girl a book (one among many he had run around Midgar to get for her the other night). “For the next nine hours, you can busy yourself with Boco the Choo.”

The girl's curiosity was picqued as she gazed at the cover with a yellow chocobo and a little brown haired boy who walked with him. This one was title 'The Adventures of Boco the Choo and Bartz Klauser' and was thick with many tales of the boy and his chocobo friend.

And that's it for now.

I had to use reference for this pic. Mainly so I could give this pic the proper Winnie the Pooh-esque look it needed. This is it.

I used the blender marker a lot to give this pick's background the semi-water color look. It took me a whiiiiile. Ended up bleeding over lines, which made me unhappy in places. Had to re-color and re-line carefully and then useGIMP to cover up my mistakes. XD

Boco, Bartz Klauser and Tonberry belong to FFV and Squeenix~!
The concept of Winnie the Pooh belongs to Disney?
