I really feel like you're an up and coming pixel artist. The time you did that in was excellent.
Your design sense is nice and will serve you well, I think.
Please overlay the armor onto this BU template to better conform to the (slightly different) BU sprites. Consider slightly adjusting the curvature of the belt and perhaps the neckline if it suits you on this different sprite. Also look at the hands and make sure the outlines are matching up properly. (If you're feeling particularly adventurous, try adding a highlight color in your shading, a brighter color for lighting to give it a more dynamic or 3Dish look.)
I look forward to seeing the modifications!
(In the meantime, please remove the full sheet from the post so that people can't steal it. You'd be surprised by some of the thievery on the internet!)
The cake is a lie.
