Why did you lock your last thread? Don't do that.

And nobody is going to edit sprites for you. Edit a lot, watch a lot of sprites, focus on the muscles and then learn to draw them from scratch.

Actually I wanted to delete the lasy thread but also I'm not trying to get anyone to do anything for me.I just needed to kniw how to go about doing it exactly. I've look at characters like Mukai and Joe and etc but still having a little trouble on how to put it down right.

Abs are tricky and prone to repetition. It's good to mix it up depending on the build of the character in question.

Here's a tip: Obliques are important. For men I deemphasise the sides of the abs as well as the center and emphasise shading the bottom of the abs. For women I just draw the center line to the belly button some lines at the sides.

One can also just shade around the middle completely for that sucked in look. It's more realistic, but for me, harder to get right.



In any case, what's important is to avoid making them look boxy  Each pair of abdominals have a distinct shape and size. Only the third row are box-shaped.

But don't take my word for it. Here's the kind of template I go by:





Hope that helps, and if it doesn't, uh, don't look at me...

[Edit]: Oh yeah, I should mention, I don't like the way Joe's abs are rendered. Mukai's look great though...

Thanks! This is exactly what I needed, a visual aid ! It's easier for me to sprite a womans body easier than a mans mianly because of def and detail difference and because I mostly deal with woman when it comes to spriting so I'm uset to them more than men. But recently I've been doing and attempting more work on males like this for example.



I did do a little alteration to his abs if you look closely but I can't actually "do" abs that much from scratch, so I have been trying to work on that. And also I've been trying to add detail like cuts into the legs and theighs but just have a little trouble with the right shade line to do it and properly place the features at.

And the main reason I had trouble was because of the straps he has on and trying to really make some where there are none at with something like that in the way. I even tried to do the arms but I "really" didn't know how to start with that at all because there isn't too much visual def on them to tell how they would be sprited on. I was trying to make him shirtless was the whole thing and I even referenced to Mukai but it just didn't seem to click that well.

It's the opposite for me - I can sprite (and draw) males pretty damn well, but it's females that are my weak point. That, and faces.

Well it sounds like we can both help eachother out then  .....I know nothing about spriting men that well and you can't sprite women for shit.......kinda funny....and actually theres this Kruaser Sprite I tried to study from to do Seth as well done by the CCI Mugen dude.....I added nips to him....

I made this from 98 Omega Rugal (it's a 98 to 95 conversion):



So yeah, I can help you out (Krauser's nips look weird, by the way).

You could start by making them smaller first...

Then you could give them a bit of shading too.

I suggest sit-ups and crunches.




Wait is this the graphics section?

Nevermind.

K heres what I did to Jins Rugal though I can see it's kinda off and look at your Rugals chest overall it looks kinda strange? Theres no depth in his chest, it's a thin line
