Palette is nice, size of legs is spot on, however, the perspective is both questionable, and his 'stance' looks rather weird. His head is also disproportional to his body. And also, I would suggest increasing the distance in contrast between each shade higher.

Thanks Kreator, I'll fix it right now. Looking foward a great fix before doing movement and stuff.

My opinion: v2 sucks

[zade_o]

so far v1 is better, imo.

I think his abdomen is too long, and his chest and shoulders look like a puny man.

Bump*
Update! Made down animation for v3! ;D

My opinion; I just need to fix the stand and it will be perfet ;D

Far from. Both your leg and arm movement is totally off. We do not move our hands outward and inward from our sides when we walk, neither do we walk anything like that. His feet are tracing triangles.

maybe his sprite is power walking?

[balliztik1]

It looks like a dance of some sort. ;D

But, as Kreator pointed out, your movements are much too pronounced. Make them only a couple pixels or so.

He's triforcing with his legs.

my edit:        original:

still not perfect…but an improvement.

tried to make as much changes as I could without changing your original frame too much

Fixes on the idle frame:
- added neck shadows
- fixed pecs up a bit
- I think I changed the legs a bit, can't remember
- changed the feet a little bit.

Fixes on the walking frames:
- rotated torso and abdomen more. try walking, your torso/abdomen moves, not just your arms.
~~- added more of a bobbing motion because we do bob up and down as we walk~~ (my bad forgot the original had bob)
- tried fixing the legs up so they look like one leg is moving backwards more and one leg is coming forward more
- fixed arms so they're not flailing as much.

I still just don't like the legs in general. idk why.

EDIT-
I think the thing I don't like about the legs is the gap is just weird, and the hips.
also, I think the arms are a tad too short. hands are supposed to come down to mid thigh.

Very cool man! When I saw this, I realized that I suck…;D

[zade_o]

lol no you don't suck, you got the basics of pixeling down fairly well. it's the extra stuff that you gotta learn that will make your pixel art a lot better, like twisting the torso of sprites and whatnot.

just learn by looking at other people sprites. that's how i improved my work. wayofthepixel.net is a great place to look. most of those people are amazing at pixel art.
