Thanks for the feedback but for the project im doing at college, i have to stick with the pallette i have been given. As for the animation, all i need to do at the moment is make a still of the game so no animation will be needed yet - this was just for testing purposes.
But i will take this into account when i need to animate it so thank you :D
The animation for beeing basic its good, may be try to add some more stretching to both arms and leg. You could also play around with the colour pallete
