Gameboy Color mockup

[Ryumaru]

dont worry faceless, thats just me and being retarded at copy+pasting.
i have a little north facing character sprite, but i need yall to give me your opinon on his readability

it would be very helpful if someone could do a little 2x or 4x blow up and a draw over of what they see it as.
also, the most updated mockup:

[Gunne]

I see a man with a robe running, I will attempt to draw it in a moment

EDIT:

Here's a really crappy and fast attempt, haha, don't make fun of me , but I don't have much time, so don't know if it is what you wanted

[rabidbaboy]

Yeah, that's what I thought, but he had his left foot more to the back of him from running too fast. In my mind anyway.

[Ryumaru]

hes not exactly running, he just has one leg infront of the other. but im glad its as readable as i hoped it would be.

[Evil-Ville]

I couldn't really tell what it was before that sketch. I thought it was something like this.

[Jad]

It really looks as if he's running, I suggest making this the basis for his running animation and make another more balanced one for his idle-pose. Contraposes are nice and should really (REALLY) be used more, but this one looks a bit too dynamic for it's purpose.

Because otherwise, dynamic is good :]

[Ryumaru]

evilville: hah, i guess its not readable to everybody yet.
jad: will do, the sound of me having a base frame ready for his running anim is music to my ears
what exactly is a contrapose?

thanks for all the helpful comments everybody!
