I wasn't really going to bother anyone, any further, but I figured I'd start my own thread to prove two things.
1) I was wrong. 2) I listened to everyone.
For those who didn't see the thread where this all happened, I posted a custom sprite of mine to try and prove heavy detail was possible in small sprites, to defend another user's custom sprites. My larger sprites became the target of some constructive criticism, which I was a little annoyed about, at the time. One user surprised me by making a few mods to my larger sprites, to show me that I still had some learning to do and improvements to make.
Everyone made valid points. I studied those points and the mod, and then started working on fixing up my sprites. Since I didn't want to give the impression that I ignored everyone, I created this thread as proof that I read every word.
Sorry to those who felt offended by my poor choice of words. I had no intention of coming off arrogant.

His legs haven't really been worked on much. I still plan on fixing the weird angle his foot's at, and there's still stuff I have to do with the areas I have edited.
Thanks everyone, for the advice you gave me, and for helping me out. (And if you wish to continue giving help and tips, I promise I won't be as defensive.)
I tend to get into this stubborn kind of state, like "No, shut up, it's perfect, you know nothing!" And then it takes me a good amount of stewing in denial and irritation, then comes self doubt, then acceptance comes and I am able to stop being defensive and blind, and improve my spriting.
