You realize you made you made it sooo much better? It looks great!

You should measure each segment of the arm and see if they really add up to how long the arm should be. At the moment it seems a little too long. The lower part of the trench coat looks out of place because it's so flat, the first image has better shading. I think it might look more stable if the back foot was on the ground and the front foot was the one in midair, simply because you have his weight resting on something not under him.

Thanks, will try moving the feet a bit. What do you mean by measuring the arms? ???

Ok, here's the revision without the arm thingy ???... I shaded his coat again and I moved his feet so he's standing on his back foot.

Well, I've never seen that before... what is it from? A game? If so, can you link me to it cause it kinda looks like something I should get acquainted with if I wanna make a cowboy character.

He is walking very fast and his arms should be swaying a little bit.

I for one can't bend my knees and take small steps so fast. I shall refer you to the walk cycle which you should totally study and learn.
He's also bobbing too much and his body is stiff. Have his coat flap out behind him a little so we can kinda see his legs. If he needs to look all suspicious and no arm swinging, at least have his hat bob a little too.

That walk reminds me of loony tunes... Just note the arms do need movement and if his legs move at that speed so will his arms, which will look a little awkward. Add a couple more frames to his walk to smooth it off and make it less well loony tuney. If your aiming for the whole holding the belt while walking then you will find the entire upper body usually rotates. (not sure how to explain it. Someone else here may be better at it.)
