i know the thread's closed and all now, but i hope it's okay if i toss my two cents in to help you reconsider:
when we "start over" it's not the end of the world - believe me, it isn't as daunting as it sounds and in the world of art, no one ever gets it right the first time. I can't remember how many times I've drawn/sprited the same thing over and over, starting over because I can't get the original idea looking how I imagined.
Look at it this way - IF and WHEN you do restart it, it'll only take half of the time because you've got the right palette and half the base there already...in other words, you have an idea of what you want to do
And with the advice from these guys, you can apply some of the new techniques that've been discussed (for example, the basic skeleton base - which is very helpful, and I looked into it for you - Ash is a little more than 5 heads tall, maybe 5 1/4 or 1/2?)
but don't give up -- we've all gotta start somewhere, guy
