What's the perspective?
First person? Side-scroller?

Bonan: I will add som wiggle to him ^_^ Thanks :P

Seiseki: I think it's called 3/4 perspective? Like a pokémon-game

Unfortunately that's not quite how 3/4 perspective works. It looks like the sprite's facing us, which I'm pretty sure is why Seiseki is confused. RPG sprites (that's the genre you're thinking of) are a good point of reference. The clothes are low in contrast as well, especially the shirt. Light-source is also confusing; the lighting conditions suggest day (perhaps in overcast/cloudy weather) when the sun's more above, but the light seems to be coming directly from the side. The closest, common situation to result in this, I think, would be sunset or an artificial light. ???

I'll elaborate/make an edit soon. This is a small sprite, so it shouldn't take long.

It's rather eerie that his arms, legs and hair move, but his body and head are completely still. No person can move like that!

Charlie: Ok, I'll try to do make some more movement to 'em.

Seiseki: Argh D: What do I have to do then?

You have to do this-

What you have is on the left. 3/4 view is 45 degrees above, so the character's body points diagonally up and toward the camera, rather than perpendicular like it is now.

But that just looks retarded! Hahah xD
So.. More of the top of the head and eyes further down?

As much a sucker as I am for accurate perspective in top down games, this topic is a nice read: http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=7075.0
