Main character sprite

[Caleb]

From left to right: the progress I've made over the past year. I only want critiquing on the last one, but I wanted to show what he's been through.
The character himself is a farm-boy-turned-prince, or the other way around. He is 18 years old.
As far as I'm concerned, it's done, unless you all think otherwise. If not, then I'll start working on other views.

I dont know if the cloak is shaded enough.
Beside that, nothing is wrong, maybe only the shape of his head, but that might be ok.

"nothing is wrong"? That's a pretty bold statement

For starters, the cloak defies gravity.
His chest isn't connected to the shoulders, the ears are too high up, the eyes are too white, the skin tone is a bit too orange, ...
And the head is too big compared to the body.

@Oliwerko: Thank you. I don't have very much experience at this, and cloth folds are my weak point. I'll have to do some more research.

@KhrisMUC
Thank you for pointing all that out. Especially about the skintones.

Defies gravity? I guess I didn't make it clear that it is hanging from his shoulders, I'm sorry, my mistake.
Chest not connected? I suppose that would be the highlighting on the shoulders, if not, please elaborate.
About the head, I don't know what else to do about that other than redrawing it completely. I hate doing that.

Ok, I'll elaborate:

-The cloak's left and right sides don't fall down straight; they look like they're held by somebody chrouching behind the guy.
-His chest looks more like boobs. Raise the bottom of the pecs and connect them to the shoulders. (reference: http://www.innerbody.com/image/musfov.html)
-About the head: well, then I suggest to redraw it completely.
