Felt like pixeling cloud from Final fantasy 7 and giving him a cell shadeish look.

What do you think?

Very cute. I'm a big fan of final fantasy 7 and this looks pretty good. Main problems are anatomical issues. With the way you have his body position, the arm on the right looks like its curving in a way that would make it seem broken. I'm pretty sure making it straight would fix this problem. Another thing is the positioning of the feet. Right now it looks quite awkward the way it is and I think you should make the foot on the left slant slightly downward. Not sure if the black outlines work here for the hair but Im not sure if it would look dynamic enough if you didnt have it.
The shading on his buster sword is well done and you just need to fix a couple of those anatomical issues and it'd look real cool ;D

Mkay I worked on the left arm and the feet.
I'm not sure if the hair should be outlined or not so I've uploaded both versions for you to decice:

You have it exactly opposite of what I was saying. Not HIS right, the one on the right from frontward perspective, meaning how it looks when we look at it. The new version for the feet do look better though but the arm positioning looked better before in my opinion as the arm you changed actually looked better before. Make the other arm straighter and see how it looks.

Ah now i see what you mean.
Must have misread the 'right arm' as 'his right arm' which is actually the left one. :huh:
My go at correcting his arm:

Wonderful chibi style, makes the sword more believable, aswell.
Bit more highlight on the body may help bring some more contrast.
