I think it would look better if you removed the straight dark line under her eye. The contrast of her white eye and flesh tone skin is enough there to seperate them. The dark line seems to age her somewhat but also the way the mouth appears to connect to it is giving an unpleasant sense of seperation like she has no cheek there. I did a quick edit to have a look and I do think it looks better (could even use that grey AA of the eye to soften that left bottom corner of the eye when removing that dark line.

Remaking the face proved a lot harder than I thought it would. I tried to add eyelashes in the vein of Snake's sprite, but that made the eye construction a little harder. The mouth gave me trouble when I tried to AA it because I felt as if I'd used single "stray" pixels for no real reason. I stuck with the solid color for the undercurve of the mouth because it looked better to me without AA.
The change with the face happened because I changed the size of her eyes, which forced me to move almost the entire lower head down by one pixel. Those changes in the head's construction may account for why you dislike the newer sprite.
I like the shading and contrast of this one more but I felt the face was better on the old sprite.
Nicely done, except the jaggy mouth. Either AA it or make it linear.
The previous one looked good, but this does look even better.
Very nice work!
