Clean it up. Lots of sloppy pixels everywhere, the hair being the biggest culprit. I'd also nix the skin shades in the shirt, not looking very attractive to me.

Hair cleaned up, think i should keep the blue in there or just colour normally? The shirt was experimenting along the same vain, though obviously not successfully.

His left arm is straight for a section longer than his forearm, yet there is a bend at the top - you should make the arm bent until elbow section. I think that arm is too long also. Really digging how you drew the pants. the head should be moved down and to the left a bit imo. Also torso might need to be taller. Shading of shirt makes him look fat.
Modern artists are told that they must create something totally original-or risk being called "derivative".They've been indoctrinated with the concept that bad=good.The effect is always the same: Meaningless primitivism

Ahh, good points sharp.
I shortend and evened up the arms, moved the head slightly, redid the shading on the shirt and got rid of a colour.


Fixed?

Legs look strange, can't pin exactly why.

The legs are too long and the head is too big. Also the whole face is too small, (or at least the different parts are too close together) and looks flat.
I think you could use some anatomy references for checking the average sizes of the different body parts and apply them on this piece.
And uhm, looking at clothing (for folds mainly) could help you.

The coloring could use a lot of work too. The blues you put in the hair stand out too much and look out of place.
Overall the piece looks too jaggy and the AA you are applying doesnt work because the colors you are using for it are too light to buffer at all.

Right, Hopefully i addressed the anatomy issues mentioned (legs, head, face), I also tried some more realistic shading on the shirt. I'll redo the colours and AA when i get home abit later. (this computers MSpaint cant replace colours for some reason)

Looking Better?
keep in mind that this is ment to have abit of an animesc style to it. though thats still no excuse for bad anatomy.

Edit:

I normalized the colours which felt abit sad. But i think the image looks better for it.
