Went into your sprite board and saw talks about editing other people's shitty sprites. Ask the original spriter for permission for that. It looks as though he gave you permission to use it as is, and generally spriters don't like it if you edit their work without telling them.
I don't want to just come in and preach without contributing, so here's a Tate/Liza VS mugshot I worked on a couple years ago. Feel free to edit it to more acceptable standards.
