So I really knew you from somewhere! Glad to see you again!

I really like your sprites, and I am fond of the colors, though I have some notes:

First of all, the hooded man. The way his hood is drawn is weird, because it looks like his head is unusually small. I had made this edit here to explain it better:

The leftmost sample is original; I made an hypothetical full head vision of him, and overlapped it with the source. As you can see, the hood is small to accommodate the head well. I think you could shuffle some pixels there to fix that. Never forget that beneath the clothes, there's the body! Sometimes we accidentally draw the clothes first without taking the shape of the human body into account, and the results can be disastrous.

Second, In the same character, I don't really like the skull. So I made my version:

Your skull was fine as a drawing, but it looked quite cartoony compared to the rest of the characters, who are full of detail. So I opened up a reference of skull and pixelled it. DO NOT BE AFRAID OR UNDERESTIMATE REFERENCES. They are really useful even if you think you already know how to draw a skull. I mean come on I even have to look up for references for 'welcome' carpets once, there's no problem in it

The fencing guy's pose looks weird, like... Do you know those egyptian drawings? It's kinda like that: the body is almost frontal, head is perfectly profile. This is also seen in the first girl with the lance. Try giving a little more perspective to the bodies perhaps. The calves look a little short too, as they're about the same length of the thighs.

and the tallest man has short legs compared to the body imo. You may want to look it later, but overall, nice sprites!
