ok, so here he is so far, originally I was going for a normal karate fighter, but got a little carried away with the bandaging, and ended up doing most of his body. as a result I need to change his outfit a little to better reflect his half-undead look.

any suggestions, or crits/comments about him in general?

---EDIT---

OK, I changed the color, added a few details here and there. the problem I am having is shading the cloth without it looking shiny, I want highlights, but they always come out shiny looking. ideas?

---EDIT2---
Ever get the feeling your talking to yourself?

The foot movement is reasonably good, but he's way too stiff. His legs should bend, his arms should shuffle and he could do to take a breath once in a while.

thanks for the feedback, currently his body (and most of his legs) move 1 pixel up while moving to the side, do you think I should bend his legs so his upper body doesnt move upwards, or perhaps even his body moving 1 pixel down?

my intention is to have his right arm move down, and his right hand go into a sideways fist, while his left arm will swing back and forth.
