Here's a good example of how size quibbles can fuck up sprites. We had a great Kertruffle sprite, and then someone bitched that it was "too big." So someone put together that ugly thing on the left (The one on the right is my attempt to fix it).
The point being, sacrificing the aesthetic quality of the sprite for the sake pointless size complaints MAKES THE GAME LOOK SHITTY.
