8-bit styled sprites

[Hiccup]

I'm working on some 8-bit styled characters from my game Penumbra Hearts:

I say 8-bit styled because if it was truly 8-bit I'd be limited to 3 colours...
Personally I think that in the 2nd frame, the bow should look longer at the end... But that's just me.
Let me know what you think...
I've tried my hand at spriting many times and know I'm not the best, but I'm happy with these sprites

Thanks for taking time to read the thread and reply (if you did reply)

It would be preferred if every pixel was the same size. Otherwise, you get something that appears stylistically inconsistent.
