Celes portrait & sprite

Ok, about the portrait so I ended up using the first edit -- the high forehead reminds me of nobility, which kinda fits Celes IMO. As for the earring, I left it as it was; if I added detail, it distracted from her face and break up the balance. Some things are best kept simple.

Now as for the sprite...

My problem with it was the backview -- I never liked those blue things on her head.

my take



Edit: tested it and it looks good. It's a ridiculously simple edit, yet it does wonders for me. I'll post the complete spritesheet when it's done.
