Jappio's RPG Sprites

I made an edit, focussing more on the head and arms. If you look carefully, the alignment of her head is off. I changed the proportions, because the arms were too short in comparison to the torso. I don't really understand the pose, but I guess it's akin to somebody holding their blade at eye level? Anyway, it felt quite cramped, so the arms had to be redone.
Generally, you're packing in a lot of detail at that size, and some of it is lost in the process and therefore which you can do without - I'm thinking of the shading on the face and sleeves especially. The face is a bit squashed because of the nose, and the eyes lack expression.
I tried to address these issues, I hope it's helpful!
