Hi, I posted this recently on Pixel Joint and now I'm trying to fix it so I can post a better version. This is my edit so far, i'll be glad to take all the advice I can get.

 

I've cleaned up some pixels on the body, re-did the arm-guard to look sharper and have a better shape. Someone told me the elbow was below the belly and had to be above it, so I raised it and made the arm shorter. His elbow though I think might look a bit low still because of the arm guard blocking some details, I'm not sure if I should edit the arm shape or change some shading inside.

 

 

Current Pallete:

I think the contrast on the pallete is okay, but some pointers on making the pallete better would be appreciated. It has 12 colors including background.
