I don't like the anatomy of the official sprite that much (feet look glued on, etc) so this is essentially a redesign of the character. But I don't want it to look bad, so I'll see what I can do about the arms and hands. 3D-like movement towards the viewer has always been a weak point of mine and that's why I often do these.
Continuing this tomorrow when I'm less tired.
EDIT:
Is now much better yes?
