Phew, with exams coming up and me having to study my butt off, it's tough to find time for spriting. I tried making some changes to Alicia. I'd rather not blame the reference image either, because it IS just a reference. I don't have to completely abide by it. The creator may take any liberties needed to make a sprite exactly how it needs to look to please the eye.
Still haven't looked at the clothing yet, does anyone have a good FE reference to look at for that?
