What do people think of sprites that aren't fully representative of their "real-life" size? I'm always divided between making full use of the 32x32 area, but not having some huge ass sprite that doesn't really fit. When I was spriting a bowling bag I compared it to a backpack it was huge so I decided to make it smaller, although it fit I found it reduced the look of the sprite overall.
