Is it still wrong to use that as the source? I mean, the move looks natural and fine the way he does it, but maybe I'm wrong?
No actually, that video properly illustrates what you were going for! It's perfectly fine to go with that if you'd like, my critique is simply suggestions that you may choose whether or not to follow~
As for the leg bit, just to clarify a little as to what I meant:
This is how I'm visualizing the positioning. Grey colouring on the limbs signifies being on the right side of her body. I slightly exaggerated the foot positioning by making them further apart than they are in your sprite to give a clearer representation of what I meant.
Your pose actually works with the frame when she thrusts her spear forward, as her body is turned away from the viewer and her left leg comes forward. However (as I see it), your pose doesn't work well with where its feet are positioned; it could work with different positioning of her leg, as shown in the bottom pose (I'm sorry if it looks awkward; this is a very quick and very crude sketch, so it doesn't illustrate foreshortening well, nor does it display the actual frame of the character ).
I hope this helps in some way!
