Your perspectives are off for the down and down-diagnol sprites. MnL has the perspective more looking down on the characters instead of directly facing them.
I didn't check out the tutorials, but at glance it looks like your sprite's ratio of the body parts are also off. The head should be large with the body being relatively small.
I'm not a fan of the anti-aliasing. It doesn't seem to add anything useful or is even appealing. I might give it a try later to see what I can come up with. I'm not sure how to give advice on anti-aliasing... I learned (and forgot) how to alias by following a programming tutorial on how to make AA-lines.... the code just made sense to me for how to do it manually.
