Yeah, he does. It actually looks better when he's moving forward at the proper speed. In the game I've made sure he moves 1 pixel per frame.

Jad: You're right, I probably should have restarted from scratch. I'm going to make sure my proportions and perspective are right before I do anymore animating.
Anyway, I reworked the standing frames. The head is smaller, and hopefully the skewed-topdown perspective is more apparent:
As far as perspective goes, I'm looking at Chaos Engine for reference.
I also worked on the walk cycle. This is not a redraw, just more copy-pasting and cleanup (sorry Jad, I can't help my laziness
) I already see some things that aren't right (like the shoulders moving oddly), but I think it's an improvement over the last one.

Pixel Art / Topdown human sprites - C&C needed

So I have this character in a topdown view:
I'm pretty satisfied with the forward walking animation:
The side view, however, has some weird perspective issues:
The head and body look wrong to me, but I can't tell exactly what I need to change. It's hard to find a good reference from this angle. So, anyone have suggestions?

I like nature, weird animals, and retro palettes. I like beer. I like the Venture Bros. I like the Mighty Boosh. I like Kurt Vonnegut. I like low-budget sci-fi (more Dr. Who than Star Trek). I like birds. I like dogs. I like David Lynch. I like Sesame Street. I also like surprises.

it's beautiful 
A side note, where did the palette come from? Something ptoing made up? It was challenging to work with, but fun. Looks like it was used to its full advantage

Aw, be patient kids. I've got a feeling it will be worth the wait.

Latest update:
A bit quick and dirty, but I've softened the texture on the stone and dirt tiles. Also messed around with the shading on the tree tiles (though looking at it now, I can already see some things I could improve...) I know using sprites for trees would look better, but I'm looking for versitility in terms of level design. I won't be using this tileset in a game myself. It's for a competition where it will be made available for anyone to use.
While I'm here, I might as well share some characters using the same palette:
