Pixel Art / Re: [C+C/WIP] Need advice for a platformer character

here's a quick edit to try and remedy her stance a bit, i also tried fixing up her proportions so it reads more like a lady silhouette by trimming the broad shoulders and making her a bit taller
also its subtle but i put 1px of heels on her to give her flat footing, it helps "stabilize" the pose imo
edit; if your intention is to have the sprite match a square hitbox, you may be better off going in a more cartoony route so it fits a little better. here's a sprite i made some time ago that is super round but it sorta works just due to the cartoony nature of the art style;
IIRC Spelunky followed a similar approach
