it looks like hes angry when he walks, not so much...just a stroll...but i dont know what you were going for.
lighting seems off, especially on his head, where the lighting comes from above, while everywhere else the lighting comes from the right.
i dont think it looks good with skin-tight clothes, but that might just be me.
his elbow joint seems misplaced...

if that odd diagram helps any...
finally, his head is very oddly shaped....

the animation is nice and smooth though ^^ goodjob on that.

Hm, the elbow seems fine to me. It's just a bit foreshortened for a couple frames. Might want to dim down the hand a wee bit just to make that more apparent. And maybe cover it up with the shirt sleeve a bit.
The animation itself is really quite good though. Good job.

This seems to me to be basically a carbon copy of the idleworm walking tutorial's animation. I'm all for using that as a base for learning, but not for exact replication. You even seem to inherit the elbow-joint issue from the tutorial. :/

yeah, i used that for reference, altough it's too big to make a carbon base for copying it, but yeah, nice eye, cow
