Sorry for the late reply, but I'm aware of this and the problems, not sure how all this happened, but some how the skirt just shrinks and has a slightly irregular change giving the unintentional illusion of faster rotation, and I pretty much f*ed the hair for 2-3 frames ultimatley ruining it all as of hair. But thanks :)

Nice preview :)

I think the head ends up looking a bit shallow front to back.

After watching it for a while, I think it's actually because the hairline is so high. When you look at the profile view and compare it to a photo, it's outstanding in that the forehead forms a more or less straight line with the hair, where in most photos, the main volume of hair is set back from the forehead. The impression of this could probably be changed just by darkening some shading

Also feels like there is a speed change as she faces directly left.. hm how can I say this: the upper body (especially arms) feels like it rotates faster for a few frames, relative to how fast the legs rotate. Might be an optical illusion, but I think a lot of rotating anims have trouble with rotation speed at that same point.

Looks a lot like Paul Robertson's sprites, was that your reference?
