Hello I started doing pixel art a few months ago.
I'm currently working on a game where you can select gender
and all type of armor look different
so I drew the characters animation and i'm trying to make sure they are fully done and nice looking before i draw any armor on them and the animation for it.

default sprite (i didn't think this needed a nudity tag but tell me if i was wrong.)



an exemple I tried of some heavy armor.


it happen pretty often that i can tell whats wrong but i just don't know how to fix it
so let me know what you think should be different.

EDIT: I made some change on the female one


on a side note the hair is actually a separate sprite
since there will be different hair style

EDIT 2:I made some more change i made the bottom part slighty higher
not sure much better that is though


EDIT 3: i changed the posture and exagerated the movement a little more
i think thats starting to look better


EDIT 4: i think i got it right
with the armor on it also look pretty nice
lowered the palette scheme alot too... i think it look better that way
