This is another tactic style sprite inspired from Adarias work. Can you guys help me refine it?, c+c would be appreciated

I really like this man. Keep it up and maybe get a walk frame up. :P

maybe put the arms (+ shoulder pads) 1 pixel down and to the front, put the eyes 1 pixel higher and move the far leg in a bit, but only a bit, i think moving the whole leg a pixel would be too much.

put some hair on the lower bart of the back of his head ;) and sharpen up the dge of the axe, right now it looks a bit like a blow up toy, because of the heavy AA on the cutting edge

i prefer the 15 colour palette over the 16 colour one, but maybe change the metal hue to something more blue then purple.

and looking at it again, maybe lengthen up the arms a nudge and give them elbows =)

Thanks Snader!
So, I , adjusted the arms, eyes and legs. Sharpened the blade and finally changed the hairstyle and the color.

Finally got my lazy butt from working on my avatar again, and also a stance animation. Can anyone give me a suggestion to make it more fluid?

4 frames <just testing the animation so some pixels on the weapon are a bit off>

Nice. I especially like the latest palette. Animation looks spot on.

Something really bugs me about how straight the arms are. It's like he doesn't have any elbows almost. I prefered the first little stick figure. Everything else is awesome.

Yeah, I'm bothered by that elbow too but when I was trying to bend it like in the stick figure, it didn't work out <I'm still green in terms of of perspective sense :-\ , specially in this situation> ..I guess I went for the easy solution. But I'll redo that ..and see how it works out.

Just got back on it yesterday. Changing the angle of character's right arm is difficult, so I changed the shadings on the arms to emphasize biceps.
