Pistachio, I really like the edit you supplied the only thing is. It appears to remove the style I was going with the characters. In my opinion your edit made the zombie look like a 2d remake for Resident Evil.
After examining the female character, I agree that it looks like a pair of legs and that she's bending over. I'll have to make some edits to her.
Thanks for the advice, and opinions guys. This kinda stuff improves my abilities as a spriter.
