I think you could go further with the feather movement : it's very smooth right know but it feels like you could add more breakdown.
A straight feather on the way down for example to add dynamic and momentum.

I would definitely do that as an alternate sprite for the occasional long fall, but if all his jumps are this high, I think it's good as-is.

I think the up down movement on the sword and shield is a bit too smooth. Would be nice if it were a bit snappier. You also might get a bit of mileage out of offsetting the movement of the sword and shield from each other, like the legs.

Anyway, love this guy, looks great :y:

Yeah I think the plume alone, big as it is, can add a lot to the sense of movement by itself.
