I decided to devote my spriting only to making custom trainers. Please critique. Looking for ways to improve my trainers.

Lol.

I normally hate critting human sprites. Normally. But doubt you're really gonna get what you need.

The Rival[F] seems a bit cluttered on her arm, with how the glove is made/colored/shaded and with the purple design on it. The shading is also a bit wtf, as well you have the back part of the pants leg on the leg in the background highlighted, but what should be, is shadowed. The sock-things are also flat and unshaded.

I would suggest using a different black too.

The youngster looks a bit deformed/twisted at the torso, especially with how the red vest is. And the eyes make him look psychotic. His back is a bit to straight and the arm nearest us looks a tad to thick on the forarm.

The Grunt's outstretched arm seems to short/at such an akward angle to appear that short.

The Admin's clothing is very cluttered and distracting/hard to tell apart from the sprite. Especially with the purple lines squiggling up and down and about. I suggest getting rid of them for now and work on fixing the body/arms as I really can't see more than one arm, and the clothing/cape.

The female's trainers pose is awkward, and the front leg is slimmer, compared to the back leg. I suggest high heels and the forground leg raised up if you want to keep the pose.

Tbh you should practice scratching more, and more on heavy edits, it would score more points than having existing sprites atm changed to characters of yours.

And work on a better dark grey/black palate.

Can't you for once say they are good and move on? Does everything have to be perfect to you?
 
xspicysnowballx,

If Yami said that it was good and moved on, three things would happen.

Firstly, she would disgrace herself in front of the entirety of Serebiiforums, not to mention also not improving on the artist's work at all

Secondly, we would all question Yami. If Yami decided to not crit on something and post in that thread anyway, then there's something wrong. People post sprite threads to get crit and to improve, not to get mindless "ts gooooooooood lolllz"s. You know what I mean?

And now for your trainers.

I think they're good.

These are FANTASTIC! I mean, are they scratched? If they are, great work! If not, then Still! Really good! I think the Jackson one is the one that was my favorite, second is the pyromaniac.

I really think you'll be going places with trainer spriting. Keep it up!
 
nice sprites..
specially love the dancer..it kinda reminds me of mj..LoL..

Deformed? How so? I can see the different size in the forearm which I will fix, but other than that I don't see how it is deformed. I didn't think the eyes looked psycho either.

I appreciate your input; it gave me a lot to think about in my next trainer sprites and what to fix.

*looks at other posts*
Out of the seven posts, I got one real critique and the rest were "they gud" or "Yami's mean".

It's like you're a psychic Onix.

-Yes, the dancer is a reference to Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" outfit.
-xspicysnowballx, thank you for your expert input. I'm so glad you took the time to post here. Interwebz sarcasm ftw.
 
I myself love doing trainer sprites and started out editing DP trainers too.

I'm only going to critic the ones I think the most help.

Youngster: I'll talk about both seeing as they're the same sprite recolored. What I think Yami Ryu meant is that the pieces (his head, arms and torso) seem very copy paste. What adds to the deformity is the fact that the jacket on his right (our left) needs to be expanded and fixed so it looks more like its falling off of his shoulders.

Also while its fine to copy and paste parts (like the his pants) because of the position the shading is off. Remember that DP sprites the light always comes from the upper left corner. His head, right arm, and hat follow this. But then his body is shaded as though the light is on the upper right which makes it seem odd.

Gym Leader (the green one) : His body proportions are off. His upper body is far too wide for his lower body and head. It could also be that the body is fine but the jacket makes it seem wider. I think that this specific sprites need a lot of black outline especially in the jacket and pants. That would help define it a lot.
Also the edited swim cap needs to be edited a little bit more because it doesn't fit his head.

So that you wont hate me I do want to mention that Gym Leader (girl), Pyromaniac and Sword Wielder are great edits. To the point were you can barely see a resemblance. Those three are fantastic.

Hope any of that helps.
 
Multiquote fail.

Ok lol what the ****.

Did I say they suck? Did I bash? Did I flame? Unless I out right say a sprite is horrible OH MY GOD MAYBE THE SPRITE MIGHT SILENTLY IMPRESS THE YAMI. Because it takes godly work to get me to admit it, unfortunately. And there's the fact I learned the hard way being speechless get's you infracted.

AND OMAI U SPAMMED. /facepalm.

My god please why did you stick your foot in your mouth >.> I have said to some people WOW YOUR SPRITES ARE AMAZING.

Actually sometimes if the sprite is good, the sprite deserves the post, or atleast an explination of why it's good, which I find hard to describe as the sprite is just so well made. There's not just Critique, there's the 'I like your sprite and this is why' Critique :/

But I'm glad there's something wrong if I don't point out problems.

Har har. The humor has died.

Not that any of your post was humerous :/

It's just with how the body is bent, plus how/where the legs, torso are joined together. It just feels to stiff and straight and flat, then all a sudden super small hips and I'm bent at an akward angle.

For the eyes it's just the fact that one appears to be at a higher setting that the other, the one in the background, and the lack of the nose. I's my fault for not going into detail and causing confusion.

But then I was banned so unable to reply :D

It's like you're a psychic Onix.

Sadly, I've now seen worse threads on one of the petsites I go to :/

OMG UR MEAN MAKING ME WANT TO ACTUALLY IMPROVE MY SPRITE!!! IT DESERVES THE MINDLESS PRAISE I GET!!!!

/facepalm

I am glad tho that I've helped with any future sprites tho.
 
Ok, the Dancer's freaking SWEET.

The youngster's weird...maybe it's the dimensions of the two arms, the sleeve lengths...The joints maybe? IDK

It seems weird that the Grunt has short sleeves but jeans and a mask.

The Pyromaniac is SWEET. However, the 3-Dish effect that was given isn't appropriate for pokemon though...like, his leg would just be all up there and stuff...

Yes, I've been trying to fix the youngster's body.

3-Dimensional? His raised leg is to be implied that he is resting it on a rock or bringing it up to pose. The Dragon Tamer from the R/S/E had a similar pose. Lol not 3-Dimensional.
 
Your human sprites are absoulutly shweet and very uniqe
