I see what you mean about the coloring, though I'd have to figure out how to use the entirety of my palette to my advantage for that if I'd do that, because the other shades help to not make his hair look as bright. He looks chubby in that sprite though. See, the problem with 16x16 small scale sprites is that characters kinda *have* to be fat if you go for a chibi/animeish style. But with the expanded space, that's no longer necessary, so I wanted to make things more proportionate and add the extra detail. Don't get me wrong, this is a good reference for shading and light source, but the style present there isn't something I wanted hi-res to go for.
i made a sprite of the main character. Notice that I reworked the sprite completely, and it fits more with the original sprite's proportions. I see that you tried to use the bigger size to work on a more correct proportion, but then the rest of the things wouldn't fit that well.
I also changed some of the colors so he doesn't look pale.
