Trying a remake of the quest for glory hero using the same colors. does it do him justice, or do you think he looks a bit wimpy?

You need to upload the image to a site where it hosts the picture and you don't have to download it. 

Doesn't seem that sites.google.com will work for this. 

Try hosting on imageshack.us

I've uploaded the picture for you:

As far as any artistic critique I don't know if I'm qualified but:

Something doesn't look quite right about the arm that is closest to us.  It seems out of proportion with the rest of the body.  Since he's standing at only a slight angle shouldn't both of his arms be ALMOST exact same size? (The closer one looks too much larger than the far one.) Other than that his hand is pointing the wrong direction. In general when people stand their hand's have the palms pointing in towards the body rather than away from themselves which currently is giving him a bit of a wimpy look as you said. 

Again, I don't think I can give great criticism but hopefully others will be able to help out greatly!

Great, thanks for pointing that out. Looks better.

I'd suggest make his head bigger and/or neck longer. He looks real skinny.

neck longer.

Yes. Other than that his body seems too long to me. Personally I love this clean style more than Sierra's own attempt in the claymation "muddy"characters though.

There he is a bit shorter.
