You have done a great job with this Erwin, a small suggestion which you can ignore if you like... I would make the hand thicker than the arm (which seems a little long maybe due to the bow being a large one...) and show some of the right arm as it is supposed to be holding the arrow... something like this maybe
Suggestion... But all in all a good job


The hand is already a bit thicker than the arm but it's barely visible because it's holding the bow. The arm should have the right size since I cut it out from frame C6-W1-02 of the brown maiden. The right arm is mostly hidden by her body and the white part of her dress.

Thanks for your suggestion but I'll ignore most of it because of the following things.

In your image the hand seems to be positioned differently. I want the bow to be held like this. Notice how the wrist is positioned lower than the hand so the hand sticks out above the arm and not below it.

I could perhaps make the arm thicker but it should have the right size.

There are a couple of things wrong with the right arm in your image. The arm is positioned too high so the hand wouldn't be holding the bow string where it should. The right arm is also sticking out too much. The only way that it could stick out that much is when her right arm would be longer than her left arm. Remember how part of her dress covers her arm, if she was wearing something else you'd see a bigger part of the right arm sticking out.

Wow that's really cool, what program(s) did you use to edit the sprite?

Paint and Paint Shop Pro.
