So I actually did find some time to (quickly) finish it up for the PJ challenge. This is the version I submitted, but I think I might keep working on it anyway.
I think there's a big problem with the palette, it seems very monochromatic, but I'm not sure how to go about making it more interesting while keeping it potatoey.
and here's a walkcycle I guess I might as well show

I think the potato fellow is large enough that you could put in subtle hues to add variety, right now it's a little dull. The dark shadow where there would normally be a neck looks a bit odd. Good forms, I like it a lot overall.
The walk animation is really impressive, is it for anything special?

I don't see any resemblance to a potato as much as I see him as being a giant wasp's nest. I think now you've submitted it maybe you could add some insects & change his stance to prehaps hanging from a branch. Either that, or make him look more like this :D

His legs seem very small and he looks like he is leaning to left too. I guess the top half is a peeled potato?
The walking anim is great, but the left arm has one frame with a watch or something, kinda distracting. In fact somehting about the hand movement bothers me, like his hand is growing or he looks like he is doing a handshake movement. Two light dots on hair seems odd.

Only think that really irks me about the animation is that the bottom of the shirt is straight.

thanks guys
I'm having trouble making it clear its a potato without doing this:

I'll keep working on it
About the walk animation, apparently something got messed up while I was saving it so that's not the right version, you can hold off on critique on it until i resolve that
