WEll, IMHO it's really not lookin bad, only the beard (That greyish thing on the lower half of the face is one, right?) looks to square-like.

Anyhow... why do your sprites always remind me of 5 Days a Stranger?  :=

 I think it`s quite ok. But you use too may colors - 52 colors for a character is too much, if he is the main character then you should be able to animate him as well.

I quickly remade your sprite, changed  contrasts and the lineart a bit, used only 15 colors.

Feel free to do anything you like with my edit.  ;D

Likely because i shamelessly  rip them off to get proportions :p

I'm not really an artist so im still trying to 'find my style' if you like.

I have decided that i can't animate.. i just can't. I dont have an artist's visualisation skills

I'll figure it out eventually.

Thanks very much... it irritates me how you 'quickly' redid it and improved it massively.

I hate you people.
