Princess Zelda sprite, WIP, advice appreciated

Not bad start..  just a touch of shading will make it more lively.  First things off though..  The last 4 colors are used by NPCS only and will glitch in battle unless you are using that expanded palette patch.  (Problem with patch is the extended load time accompanied when using skills like (morph) which is a deal breaker for me.  I would recommend a custom palette or lockes vanilla palette..  if you don't want to deal with that.  And isn't that palette 3 (kefkas)?

You should use imgur for posting pics and use the BBcode way to show the picture automatically.  You can use FFusME if you wanna upload the full sheet with riding and death.  

With the hand raising up rear end view..  i never understood the vanilla sprites so I always place the head behind the arms/hands now.  And to be honest, I never liked her side view in that game lol.. I would prolly change that...  But that's a personal preference.  

Keep at it man, even if it takes hours to finish..
