Trying to Improve, some critique please?

And honestly, I expected to get slammed a lot harder than this XP

we kinda like the people who prefers to risk themselves with a custom sprite rather than edit one.

I think you misunderstand what I mean by 'reference'

When I mean 'reference' I don't mean edit an existing one. I mean if I need to know how to make, say, an arm, I look at an existing sprite and see how it's arm was made. The reason I used Cyan for the second one is because it seems simple compared to Setzer or Strago, but more complex than Cecil from 4.

Granted, since I'm such a novice, I had to do a bunch of referencing for the second one, since at this point I'm just trying to learn the ropes. The first one actually has less referencing to it.
