But yea, wind attacks, very possible.Well, actually I just made up this thought because of the sketch. I can imagine, making some half-way realistic animation with that is really a pain in the rear (that's why I love to keep stuff simple

Powers of ice fueled by a fiery spirit. Its contradictory, but that makes it interesting. Its almost like an internal struggle for him.Well, I know people that are calm in general but can get really crazy when treated not nice. Okay, when you compare it to regular LF2-chars; those have a rather flat personality (if you can call it that way). Firen's a little hot-head that blows himself up if necessary and Bandit is just some random dude that likes to punch people (or sorta that). Frozen, however, would have a comparably deep personality (which I myself appreciate). This "struggle" could also be a skill; in a somehow confused manner, he unleashes the true power. Okay, just ignore this, it's a random thought I had :P

Normally in my experience, something pastel-looking like this works well, and it always doesn't look as good when its a single sprite, but gets better once you see it in action. Whereas the opposite is true with colourful sprites, it'd usually be more tolerable when its still a single sprite, but once you get started on the sheet it becomes an eyesore.Good point you have there. You know, it's just the thing that as he is right now, he's missing a highlight. It's just my personal opinion, nothing you must obey to (although that would be something lolsome). But yea, just going from my own preferences, anything which would enrich the color-theme (of course, nothing eye-piercing; but you get the idea) would be nice.
The real test I suppose, would be to put Frozen among the other LF2 characters, and on top of various lf2 backgrounds. To compare its colour intensity levels with the other characters and backgrounds.
However, I'm currently against having a black pants thingy, to me it feels like it makes the colours on the sprite lose balance. But this is purely a personal opinion. its very difficult to figure out what exactly works or doesn't work. On the flipside, you guys might find the current pants colour makes the sprite rather flat. I'll probably wait for more people to comment on this fact, whether they're fine with the current colour or more interested in a different colour.
Well, in the end, it's totally up to you. I can only tell you what I like and what not; it's your choice to respect or to disregard it
