I like Kaede the most. I like how she looks a little tomboyish.
Mayumi looks slipshod compared to your usual stuff. June is nice, but feels alot like a Jan edit. Kaede's definitely more interesting.
In general though, your sprites' heads seems to be very small.. I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before or not... it makes sense from an anatomical perspective, and would be alright as a style preference, but some way to highlight the details would be good. Right now it takes a lot of squinting to see stuff like the hairstyle and the facial expression.
"I may devour the five continents, and swallow the three seas, but a body with neither wings, nor hands, nor feet, is powerless against the sky."
My stuff:
| sprites | frozen |
1) DO NOT PM ME
2) Go read up on anatomy and proportions online. (google is your best friend)
3) Go read up on pencil sketching-shading.
4) Practice by making FULL character sheets. (Refer to bases and references if you have to, occasionally try doing things from scratch. You have to mix both methods; bases and without.)
5) DO NOT be an arrogant, self-righteous prick when people try to give useful critiques, and ignore the ones who are flaming idiots. (Flaming them back makes you one of them.)
6) Repeat steps 2 to 5 until you're happy, or you think you're good, then start sharing your knowledge with your fellow spriters.
7) Showcase your sprites. At first, do not be discouraged when you don't get any critiques, or lousy/generic critiques. Continue practicing and showcasing your work. With more sprites, it will be clearer what your strengths and weaknesses are, and people may be better able to give you better critique.
Lastly, if you think saying all this makes me an arrogant, self-righteous prick who is too selfish to share his knowledge...
Then I say you cannot recognise wisdom when I've just slapped you in the face with it. (Also, those steps are the same steps I used to get to where I am, I don't know any way else to truly learn.)
Unless you think its worth my time, go F*** yourselves. I'm not going to bother to even reply to PMs like "can you help me make this character?" anymore.

That's ok. What I was trying to say was if you like smaller heads its fine, but you could also try and make the details easier to see...
Maybe you can try increasing the contrast, or exaggerate some features a little to make them more visible.
Like in June, the contrast in the hair streak colours makes in easy to see the details you drew in the hair, while in Kaede I can only see the overall shape of the hair, and have the guess at the internal streaks.
