I have some criticism on the girl, particularly, on her hair.

I think the shading might be a tad off on the twirly hair thing on her forehead. It gets really dark at the lower left corner, which suggests the least amount of light is reaching there. However, the further part of her head suggests the lightsource is coming from somewhere on the upper right, and that plenty of light would be able to reach there. It kind of suggests the light is coming completely from the right when it isn't really.


A visual to (hopefully) complement the explanation.

The corkscrews also look off...They actually get lost in her striped shirt. I'd say they have too much of the dark hue per area. The shapes are also inconsistent, the first curl of the left one looks like a kidney, whereas the other one looks much more spherical. Generally, I think you should make them larger if you want to have those high-contrast shadows on them.

I made some edits, too, hopefully they'll give you some ideas:
(the three on the left are my edits, right is your latest revision)


Oh, another thing about her front hair, I thought it would look a tad better if it transitioned more smoothly to the back hair, instead of having them completely isolated by those black lines. Then I noticed that if I did that, the top curl would be in the wrong direction, so I inverted it. IMO, it helps making it look less like she has a pastry on her forehead, but take what you will of it.

I love your sprites and animation, by the way! Awesome work overall.
