My main character, Amensedreses.Ã,  I'm going to try animating him walking next.Ã,  What do your guys think of him so far?Ã,  feel free to paint over if you want to show me up:)

My two cents:

It looks good so far, especially the face, but it's missing the thick black lines that make up a lot of your comic's style.  I'd like to see the thick black lines come back.  I really like the style of your comic.

Your comic looks like it's drawn in flash.  No reason to stop that.  Draw it in flash and bring it into the game.  This has a tendency to leave some nasty white pieces around the edges, but there are ways past this.

I second that, and as i told you in PMs i'd really like you to keep the original style you had in the comic :)

It's a pretty good start but it looks like he's lost some of his style IMHO (maybe these thick black lines Vince Twelve mentioned).
I also don't think it would look good on the backgrounds you already have. (pixelly sprite on a flash BG?) but i can be wrong.

I'm still trying a lot of different things right now, so nothing is set in stone.Ã,  I see what you mean about losing the outline.Ã,  I tried making the sprite a little bigger to compensate.Ã,  I was actually thinking about lowering the resolution of the backgrounds to match the sprites, to go for a kind of Day of the Tentacle style; but i'm going to give it a try the other way around too.
Edit: Ok, I give up, how do I get rid of the halo?

I think that you should have the skin pink rather than gray-green and you should add lines to the hands so you can see that he got fingers (sure it's hard but at least try). Same goes to the feet.

In my opinion the nose is too close to his mouth (unless that's the point). He could smell his own breath!  :D
