Noah's (failure) Gender-Swaped Trainers!
« on: November 10, 2011, 12:51:05 AM »
So I was bored durring this break from school and was playing around on photoshop. I decided to make a new trainer avatar to fit my status as a monopsychic trainer. My problem was that all of the psychic male trainers either had less-than-quality artwork or looked incredibly stupid. I decided to make my own avatar instead. For some reason, I decided to use Sabrina as a base and after several hours successfuly made a male version of Sabrina that I am proud of. With a little more time on my hands and because gender-swapping was actually kinda fun, I decided to gender-swap some other trainers. Here are some of the swaped works.


This took forever to do! Its also one of my best photoshopped works. Getting rid of the "lady features" and making the guy (who I will be calling "Noah") look masculine was kinda challenging. He still looks pretty feminine since I couldn't really make baggier clothing without straying away from the original art style too much.



Change the hair color, get rid of the very little curves that Maylene had, and tone down some of the more femanine features and you have Meleik! I couldn't find a better boy name that sounded like "melee"...


Extending the hair and changing the colors was all I had to do to make Bugsy look like a girl...since he already looks like one!

Yeah, these aren't the best but they were for fun and out of boredom. Any suggestions to make these look better?

I like your work, what gave you the idea to gender swap though?

I really just wanted to find a psychic trainer who didn't look wierd like Will and Lucian did. When I couldn't find one I decided to make my own. I've found that its a challenge to actually change the gender of a character through photoshop alone. For the males, you have to edit their hair, facial features, and somehow add curves (which I didn't do for Bugsy) and females you have to remove the curves. Changing the clothing is also challenging. I guess its just fun :P

Thanks! I spent quite a bit of effort making it. The Sabrina swap was pretty hard because her original outfit consisted of midrift, spaghetti straps, and flats...not something a guy would ever wear lol. I added the gym leader Blaine's hat to try to make him look more masculine...still didn't really work xD

I'm starting to work on HGSS Misty but its really difficult since she's wearing a swimsuit.
