Much better, the fix looks spot-on to me.
Oh, all right, gotcha. Sounds good.
No problem. Whenever you get around to it, after all it's up to you whether you even touch it or not.
At first glance I can tell you used BIS Bowser for reference, which is fine, but you've got some things to fix mostly revolving around the body. The back of the shell and spikes really don't need much editing, however the shell's rim and his actual torso are a different story... To put it simply, it looks like you scaled them both down vertically (as opposed to rotating, which I assume is what you were going for). The end result just looks like his body was squished or something. Even so, I wouldn't recommend making him hunched over so much. He typically stands up pretty straight, even when fighting (as straight as he can, at least). For the feet, you'll probably benefit from making the heels touch the ground flat, instead of curving up - he's almost leaning forward right now. His arms/fists need to be bigger, and I'd also recommend making the armbands all the same size (BIS is the only game where the shoulder ones are smaller, and it looks silly). The bottom-left side of his muzzle seems too slanted or cut-off, so just add a few pixels to make it round there. The bottom jaw could be bigger in general and also farther forward. Last thing, the hair looks like it's slicked back, so just make it point forward and up a bit more; you might also make it longer in the back (another thing I didn't like about BIS Bowser's battle sprites...)
Phew, that's it. Damn, it'll probably take you less time to polish him up than it did for me to type this. As always, I hope it helps you, whenever you do fix him.
