hey
Maybe I can learn some things from this, as I seem to be blind to some of the advise/crits mentioned here. Well most so to me is
Adarias comment "and his back is broken". I really can't see a broken back from this? do you mean he litrally looks like he has a broken back? I dunno, maybe it would help if you further explained your advise, because as an outsider who might see things in a simular light as
Ryumaru, I find it hard to identify with everything said. But I dunno.
Anyhows, from a pixel and design standpoint, I think it looks quite nice.
I do think the legs are better now, although his crutch is rather small, but I think this might be a style choice. Hmm, regardless of style, the left (his right) arm looks too long, and not in accordence with his other arm. I also think the left (his right) wrist looks odd, and the fingers behind look too bright, making it a bit hard to read. But yea, I think the weight of his body and arms look a bit large compared to his legs and head. The hair looks a little flat to me, and I think the boots are obviously still wip.
But yea, I really like this, and I think it's quite well pixeled ^_^. Overall, I think after you refine the proportions and such, it will actually improve style.

I was just thinking... it's like... his legs are long, and skiny, which is fine... but... then his body looks a little too big/wide for them... and then his arm's look a little too big for his body... but I think his head is okay, looks about the right size for something between the size of the legs and body. Hmm, I hope all that made sense. But yea, I know from experience that it can be hard to see your own proportional problems, but when you do you will laugh at how funny it looks. Well the proportions for the thing I done a while back were way worse than yours, and I still failed to initially see them.
editSorry I think I went a bit far with my first comment. I think the only thing that was really not clear to me is about his broken back :\. But yea, I don't mean to go off topic, maybe it's just me, and
Ryumaru understands your advise about his broken back.
another edit, and
<- changed shading a tad to my liking, but nm
Well I done a quick edit for ya, although I screwed most of ya pixels up in the process. I just tried to make the proportions more consistent. Obviously this is very unrealistic, but I don't think you were going for realistic. Anyhows, you may want to see what others have to say about my edit, as I'm no expert on such things. Ohh, I really can't understand the logic behind all your shading either, but I guess this is what makes each artist different
, hehe.
