My attempts

I'm looking forward on this sprite progress.
Looking cool.

Classes decided to get hectic for almost a week now, and what little I did with a side view isn't worth showing.  I've only recolored a little and haven't done any shading.  The cape is worrying me and the boots have me uncertain, as far as shading goes.  I'm certain I also repeated a past mistake by not skipping the side view for now.  I'll try the angled back view when my classes calm down and see where that gets me.  (Might take a while.  I'm approaching finals for this semester.)
