So, you do decent pixel art?

Hello. I've been a ultimately sick lately, and, after noticing I feel a little better today, I tried to keep up progress with my game and, this is what came up.

I'm trying to do a battle pose for my character. And after I did it, I tried some items on it, but, I ultimately failed. Apparently, I can't do better than that. So, I'm here, asking for help. I just can't get the sword and shield to look right and decent. >_<
I even tried doing other battle poses.
>_> >_< <_<
btw, ignore shading, it's all concept.

>! you can has cat if u help meh

~~Well, basically, it's because he looks like a gingerbread man. He has no natural pose about him - How many people, fighting, do you know stand in a jumping-jack form?

You need to make him look more natural.

As for the equipment… When you hold a sword, basically you don't hold it by the pummel facing outwards. You need to give it, also, a more natural form.~~

Apologies, I thought this was a thread for requirement of criticism.  :P
