I only didn't mention that because your other sprites weren't shaded ;)

While shading can be tedious to do and can take AGES to get right, it gives your sprites a sense of perspective and life. Just remember to NEVER shade your sprites like Wlanman does..."jewel shading" (as I like to call it) is terrible.
