Abel's Updates - Kgoku - Pg 13

Those Batman\Robin poses are fantastic. Where do they come from? Do you draw them by hand?

I've always wondered, what exactly is Mugen? I know its some kinda fighting game, I think...

Nice work on the sprites. I like how the cape folds on Batsy.

These sprites so rock.

Ourania - Thanks. It's not too tough once you get used to it. Just takes time and some good reference material.

Here are a few animated gifs I did for Mugen.


This is the idle stance for a Batman character I'm working on for the Mugen fighting engine.


This is a Robin Victory stance I had started, but eventually abandoned.

And here are a few unfinished Sprite Sheets. Robin has been abandoned. But Batman is still a WIP.


As you can see, I never got around to finishing the cape. And though I think it's a decent edit, I abandoned the project because no matter what I did, he still looked like Spiderman to me.


This one I liked much more. It felt more individual to me. I have another segment panel of Batman around here somewhere that I'll upload later.

I'm currently taking a break from this project. Though, I do intend to finish the project when I feel more "Spritey". Up next is Tenel Ka.

INCREDIBLE! Great job, I tried Mugen once but I couldnt get it to work, I think its because of Vista.

Mugen is a fighting game you can personalise.

I never understood how it works, but I know a lot of people like to sprite and do their own characters

That's one method, yes. It's a bit of a longer process. But if you do it right, the end results are much better.

These are just edit's though. Which is to say that I took existing commercial sprites and heavily altered them to look the way they look now.

Thanks everybody.
Here's another NJO character I've wanted to see microed for a while.


Tenel Ka Djo -

Tenel Ka Djo was a Human Jedi Knight and the daughter of Prince Isolder, Chume'da of the Hapes Consortium, and the Dathomiri witch Teneniel Djo. Although she was the heir of the Hapes Consortium, she preferred the traditions and customs of her mother's people over those of her father's, which angered some Hapans, including her grandmother, Ta'a Chume, and preferred not to be addressed by her full name, Tenel Ka Chume Ta' Djo. Tenel Ka joined Luke Skywalker's Jedi academy when she was fourteen, and became close friends with Jacen and Jaina Solo, Lowbacca, Raynar Thul, and Zekk.

In the Yuuzhan Vong war, Tenel Ka was part of Myrkr strike team to destroy the Jedi hunting voxyn queen. She survived the mission, and later became Queen Mother of Hapes against her personal wishes. During the Killik crisis in 36 ABY, she gave birth to Jacen Solo's daughter, Allana, and resigned from the New Jedi Order. In 40 ABY, Tenel Ka and Allana were marked for death by their own people. When Jacen turned to the dark side, he vowed never to kill Tenel Ka or Allana, despite his Sith mentor Lumiya's arguments. During the Battle of Kashyyyk, she turned against Jacen, horrified by his actions. This caused Jacen to value Allana's life far more than Tenel Ka's to the point Jacen was prepared to kill Tenel Ka if she attempted to keep Allana from him.

looking steller just like all the rest of your works keep these great micros rolling abel loving your stylings

you know, I could never figure out how to get MUGEN, let alone how to get it to work lol never the less, they look good

I love all of these new micros you're making. The cloth looks very nice and the faces are (as usual) quite amazing. On this one, I particularly like the hair.

Another terrific micro, Abel.

and to speak of your new jedi..LOVLY

Thanks for the comments folks. And if you're wondering, Batman's original base is Cable from MVC2.

Here's another New Jedi Order character.



Lowbacca or "Lowie" was a Wookiee Jedi Knight during the Yuuzhan Vong War. He was the nephew of Chewbacca, the son of Kallabow and Mahraccor, and the brother of Sirrakuk. He studied at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum and was a companion of Jaina Solo, Jacen Solo and Tenel Ka. He wielded a bronze-bladed lightsaber.

Awesome job on Lowbacca. The fur looks marvelous.

awesome like all the hair

The way you're able to make these resemble the actual characters is incredible. Bravo Abel, bravo.
