Thank you for the input!

I also made this potential male shaman but I'm not too happy with him so I might redo that.

I made two variations of the base sprite for a female thug, not sure which one to go with though. For the first one I just reshaped the chest area, removed the beard (hardly noticeable anyway), changed the hairline a bit, and changed the shape of the lower end of the tunic slightly.

I'm starting work on the thug line, I think those'll be interesting to work with.
