Please give me feedback on this sprite

[Ytterbium]

I just finished one frame of the sprite for the playable character in my game. Here's a screenshot of him, with Roger Eco for comparison size. What does everyone think? Good, bad, too colorful, unrealistic?

im not a good artisté but one thing i do notice, the arms should be different, seeing the side of them, not the front of them.. if you see what i mean

[Ytterbium]

He's actually standing with the back of his hands facing forward. Some people do that.

[Andail]

yeah, but do as Custard says and change the arms, and behold the improvement.

There's hardly any shading on that dude...he look pretty flat now...agree on the arms as well....
There's an enormous space between his body and his arms...some people do stand like your sprite does I myself find it extremely uncomfortable/unnatural to take a pose like that...I would advise to have a look at real people and their postures.
