Pixel Art / Lineart help with a Lunch Lady boss for my retro 2d shoot'm up! (Updated)

Hello again everyone,
after my last post....which was awhile ago about help with my player sprite, I have gotten much much further with my game. It is now fully playable. You play as a kid with an overactive imagination that fights off school books, teachers heads(that shoot D minuses), and TVs. Here is a somewhat current screenshot:
The only thing I lack is decent artwork for the first boss, which will be a giant lunch lady. I was hoping to make her a cross between Lunch Lady Doris from the simpsons, and Mr. Clean. You know...manly but still flingin' mashed potatos with her iced cream scoups. This however, is turning out to be a lot harder than I thought it would be. Can anyone help out my sad lineart? I'm going to continue to work on it...but I can't get the figure quite right. Here she is:
Thanks so much guys! Hopefully I can get her squared away and then do some more background pixel art for level 1.

PS - this is the first public viewing of my game, so go easy on me.
UPDATE - I updated the lunchlady a bit. I made the legs chubbier and gave the appearance of bigger thighs. Also, I added some facial detail. The chin simply didn't have enough jutt...you know...it doesn't mean butt if it ain't got that jutt. Any more help? I want this thing to have good character. Thanks!
