Sprite Ideas

If you have Skype, I can talk to you directly and show you directly what I did. I can do it with a new sprite instead of just altering the one I showed you.
My Skype name is: Zemious

There are tons of better sprites than myself, I've just had a few years of practice. However, 16x24 sprites aren't really what I started on.
What I really admire about your first two edits (at least the first one) is that despite your current lack of spriting skill, you still made them look close to what they're suppose to be. I can tell you're on the right track and with some practice and training, you can get a lot better!
