so my brother and i are working on this giant centipede hunting arcade game. he's coding it and im doing design/art. it's our first project so i wanted to start with a simple graphic style. like really simple. im not really looking for critique on the overall style (though i wont mind it at all) rather the little guy's spear attack animation. ive gone through a couple stages and i think its improving, but theres more fine tuning that can be done. what do you think 

initial -> -> final and here's a walking for reference

*updated*



and here's a sketch of him which should make the sprite make more sense.


and i'll throw in a dirty mockup for additional reference and shameless self promotion
