Well, first off, a few basics:

-don't bother saving as jpg. I won't help you any, really, due to it muddying up your pixels.
-his eyes are a different colour in panel 1, as are his pants.
-you may want to consider shading him a bit

Well, for sprites when you're working with AGS, it's probably bet to use something like bmp or png -- don't post with bmp files here, though!

I'd recommend using pngs, they won't screw up the colors, can be displayed in every browser and can be imported into AGS.
If you want to post your work, it's best to let the forums zoom in on your pic.
For small pics like this a zoom factor of 3:1 is ideal.
Just triple the width and height of your pic, then post it like this:
[img width=x height=y]http//...[/img]
It's much more convenient for paintovers by other forum members, too.
