I know most of these changes seem very trivial, but hear me out. Some of these changes are actually quite nice.
Let's start with the heads.
This is the head of the females, but I will not show the male head comparison because it was barely modified. As you can see, I modified the blush on the south, east and west sides to make it a bit more realistic. It is mathematically shaded to blend exactly to the natural shades of the skin; as a result, the blush is not too intrusive to the overall facial features, but it is not darker than the actual skin tone, either. Additionally, I added a bit of shading to the back of the head of the females and males, while giving the males a little shiny area to their head, cuz sweg.
Let's look at the female's body, next, which I somewhat modified.
Nothing much changes from the front of the normal female sprites, or the back, aside from the one-pixel reduction to the side of the waist, to give a more slim appearance (it will not show under the clothes) and the shading on the buttocks. Most of the modifications appear when you turn the female to the side, because there were some anatomical and shading issues.
Just to point out, I am showing you just the torso of the before picture, not with the arms and not with the hand. As you can see, in the before picture, you can clearly see the outline of the arm (which makes it appear the arm is still there when it is supposed to be absent), while you can see the empty socket of where the arm should be. In the after picture, I resolved the issue by removing the outline of the arm, shading the side, and making the amputated arm's socket more noticeable. Additionally, I made the shading around the front and near the breasts a lot more pleasant to look at.
And here are the male's torsos:
The first obvious change is the chest from the front. Yes, the males actually have PECS, now, at least. I thought of giving them six-packs, but that would be overkill. Not much changed on the sides, aside from the change of positioning from the pectoral muscle, to mirror how it appears from the front. I patched up the shading to where you can see the indent on the sides when the arm is removed.
I also modified the pudgies, too, YAY!
This is the female. I did not modify much of the front and the back sprites, other than smoothing out the belly, reducing the shading of the back, and making the buttocks appear more smooth and defined. Aside from smoothing out the belly, the sides received heavy modification:
The 'obvious-arm' issue was not present, but the glaring reddish blob where the hand should be, perplexed me. You should only see bare skin on waist and hip after an entire arm amputation, not a huge red blob...So, I removed it. I also fixed the female's breast to the side because it resembled a male's chest more than anything else.
And last, the pudgy male:
Pudgy males don't have pecs, anymore! They have bonafide, certified, moobies :) Pretty much all the changes I made to the females, I also made for the males, but I did modify the mooby to the side so it doesn't look like a slab of flappy skin and more of a massive male mammary :)
Well, that's it! I made these changes on the deformed sprites, as well. Additionally, I modified the nucleations to have the shading of these sprites, but the body shape, nuclear waste patches on their bodies, and the yellowish-tinge to their skin.
Up next (if all goes well:) Tajara!
