I really can't tell what it is suppose to be from the pixel art alone. Try to improve the readability by adding recognizable shapes such as fingers. Also, I really think Eyes will improve the readability even though it is not shown in the concept. Good luck.

Thanks for reply Yaomon! It really helped! Well here is an edit based on your and Cyangmou's edit/advice/suggestion!  This is an example to ask if I am going in right direction and perspective looks okay? If it looks good I'll change this piece to 64*64 and fix lines and add shading. |

Try to imagine a human torso and then build rocks around it. Right now, you have him barrel-chested.
Take another look at Yaomon's; the rocks take a general shape of a human torso. Then as it is bent into your perspective, you notice that the torso-like shape still remains. Yours over-emphasizes the shoulders, without considering the latissimus dorsi muscles, located on the far and right sides of the back (Google that name for a better idea of the muscle I'm referring to). Take another look that the musculature of the human body, and then use that as inspiration. |
