The left/right-headed-ninja has the exact same shape as other player
images like barbarian and monk. The animation is correct, and
so are proportions and perspecive IMO.

I never had troubles spotting skulls as they are white with a thin
black frame.

In general I think for such cases putting the preferred image in the
gfx dir is the best option. And when there is a definite majority of
people who dislike a certain image, I'd still prefer having it redrawn
rather than taking one from the alternate set with wrong style/perspective.
