Hey there. I'm way more of a programmer than an artist, but I thought I'd try to make an animation for a game I am (possibly) working on. I'm not too bad when it comes to static (http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv125/Drazzke/entrancemockup.png) images (http://64seconds.gamecog.net/files/image1.png) (or at least sprites that require minimal animation) but I'm having a bit of trouble with the following animation:

It looks ok in motion, but I can't really say it's all that great, so I'm looking for some constructive criticism or suggestions on how to improve this. Feel free to slap me with a fish and tell me everything I'm doing wrong ;D
I also know that these guys are extremely saturated, but it works with the background colour in the rest of the game (http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv125/Drazzke/mockup-2.png).
Cheers,
Noel

It would really help to post it in motion here on pixelation.

Sorry, should have done that in the first post :P

It looks weird because when you walk, you dont leap in the air when you cross your legs. You leap when your legs push you off the ground. Here, this is a very useful tool.

Btw, that game looks very fun. Kinda reminds me of Portal. Maybe because I was playing it recently :P
