i'm new and would like critique on this sprite sheet

apologies for the distorted size

Saving the files as a JPG kills the quality. Try and edit it now and you'll see exactly what I mean.

Second, you only edited small amounts of stuff onto Cid from FFVI. Your added material clashes significantly with the elements of the original sprite, and if your JPG saving wasn't distorting it so much I'd say what I think about the shading, because I'm not sure if it's distorted or not.

it automatically uploaded as a .jpg i have it saved as .bmp
and it was edited from leo in FF6

It's still distorted and frankly, it doesn't looks like Ike at all.
For starters, Ike's gear is not shaped like that, and he wears a cape, not a longcoat.
Plus, his sword isn't shaped like that.

Ike should look, or resemble, something like this.

Geez, there goes my credibility in regards to FFVI knowledge, I MEANT Leo, but I was thinking of T.G. Cid from Tactics in regards to them both being awesome.

Anyway, it's a bad recolor, the color choices are OKAY, I feel like they could be better but I don't know exactly how. Everything that you did add looks out of place, particularly the sword slash, and the spiky hair, in addition to looking kind of freaky, doesn't remind me of Ike at all. If anything Locke's hair style looks much closer to Ike's.
