First time making walk cycles for this perspective. Wondering what people think.

What exactly do you mean with 'construction'?

Thank you for all the feedback, Chonk! Here is another revision. I think I see a little more what you mean. I used some more reference too. I'm having a hard time getting the armor to look good how it was so I changed the design a little

Hello everyone! I'm in a bit of a pickle. I am not sure what direction I should go with the portraits in my game. The game's style is pixel art but I have never really done larger pixel art works. I was attempting to transfer my drawing into a pixel art version but I'm quite unsure how worthwhile this endeavor is. I think it needs a lot more work (I've only redone the head/hair portion of the drawing btw, the body is just drawing scaled down with nearest neighbor in photoshop) and I am not sure my talent level is up to par. Any tips? Should I even be attempting to change the style? See something obvious that I should be doing different? Thanks for the feedback.

Cool, I kept the hand motion, but made the movement ore subtle. I also altered the head to get closer to the bandage/wrapping look I wanted from beginning. I'm debating about whether to add more detail to the robe, but really not sure.

edit: actually, I should simplify the colors for a standard enemy, Maybe like this

edit: An attempt at an attack, maybe? I found that I wanted to flip the orientation to make the attack animation work, and I like the way it looks, still

edit:
I made the bandages consistent between frames and they become more unraveled for the keyframe. Also, I made an inbetween and a lil shake for how it'll be in game
