So, I'm terrible with art and graphics programs. Having seen the excellent tutorials on here, I decided to get better, one sprite at a time, and I'm wondering if anyone could help me with some constructive criticism on my first few attempts. (If it makes a difference, I can't afford Photoshop, so I'm using GIMP.)

Spoiler: First Attempts
Image

This was my first attempt, and I had to do a lot of it the hard way. Later on, I figured out a few tricks.

Image

Here I was just trying to see how many colors I could use and still not have it look hideous.

Image

Next thing I thought of was "Hey, phoenixes, fire, why isn't he a redhead?" Then I messed with the Imageother parts.

Image

The background here is an odd color because her hair's so dark that if I changed it, it'd blend in in weird spots. I think it pops nicely, though.


EDIT: So, I decided to try another batch, taking into account the suggestion to avoid "Hey! I can use lots of colors!" like I was thinking with Franny. I think these turned out, on the whole, better than the first recolors. Hopefully soon I'll be comfortable enough with the program to move on to part swapping.

Image

This one here, I thought the blue and teal would work nicely together. I should have used a slightly darker dark blue, perhaps, but other than that, I'm pleased with it.

Image

Image

OK, I just got through saying I was going for less clashy colors, but these were prompted by the comments "Hey, Edgeworth looks a lot like Draco Malfoy" and "OK, now that you've done that, make Lotta into Rita Skeeter." I'm using that as my excuse.

Image

Manny always looked like he could be a vampire if he did it right, so I decided to give him a blood red outfit. I was afraid the peach wouldn't go well, but I kind of like it.

Image

This one, I decided to correct the Magic Goblet of Gravy, and in doing so, realized it'd look better with a different color for the jacket.

Yeah, technically you've done a really really good job! I actually like GIMP as a program, I find it more intuitive than potatoshop sometimes.

Just next time choose colours that are a little less clashy! Yellow and blue and red! Oh my!

This may be blatant begging for comments, but I'm not above that. Hopefully I've done better with this group than I did with the last one in terms of getting palettes right.

Matt looked cool but I think a black suit would've worked better with M. Von Karma. I also didn't really like the Worthy and Lotta ones :larry: but the rest were great :gant:.
