Kain/Cecil sprites request

Kain does walk with his arms up, never noticed that... A suggestion, the facing left head down sprite has his arms down. That's about half your walking sprite right there and wouldn't be impossible to adjust a bit to make the rest look competent.
As for Cecil, I see... I'd try merging some arms/legs from Edgar, for a base, then make them fit the palette.

All that being said, I'm not enough of a sprite artist to really offer any good suggestions, maybe just something to chew on.

Good luck.
