Right now you have two totally different perspectives.  The body is seen from in front, and the head is seen almost from above.  The result is that he looks like he has his neck bent very far forward, like he has his chin touching his neck and he is looking at his feet.  It is hard to comment on which body is best since all I can focus on is the head.

since he's seen slightly from above, make sure that his boxer line is curved according to the perspective.

I posted a poll somewhere else, and the outcome was the 4th bottom row, so i decide to take the advice i was given here, i hope i followed it correct, i changed the head, and the pants, by adding a curv of some sorts.
I have two sets of feet, which is the correct perspective, not much of a expert when it comes to get the correct perspective D:

Hmm.. It still looks off. I guess that's not gonna fix everything.

Perhaps make the legs a bit shorter; put the feet directly downward or at a more downwards angle than you have now. Put the head lower on the torso by a pixel or two to show that not only his head, but neck is craned downwards, which would probably be more feasible at an overhead perspective. Probably. On that note, maybe try making the neck cast a shadow on the torso? (More than 1-pixel, or it will likely come off as banding.)

One more thing I thought: if you're doing overhead try to envision the torso as a sort of cylinder, instead of what you have now (side perspective?) which I think would have been guided by a flat square. Wait, that's not the last thing. Make the torso a bit shorter, too.

An edit would be of some help so I'll get to work on that.

How about that XD? By the way are my colours correct I.e. do I lack contrast? Or do I infact require more contrast?
