Comaparison
I've been studying the pixel anatomy made by sevenstitch and improved the sprite. I used the pallet provided but all else has been remade from scratch. I tried to shade according to an upward light source along with attempting to make the head a side view look but I think there can be improvements. I spent a cosiderable amount of time on this compared to the first one. Took me about over 30mins total.
Update: Fixed the outward leg.
