	try to have some kind of reference with real human anatomy, so it wouldn't appear to be made of clay. even if this is supposed to be cartoonish.

	better, i would move the head one or two pixels to the left, and put an eye on that belt and the connection between the torso and the legs

	the abs. check how those abs are, and compare them with a photo reference. they usually follow a straight line from the chest to the floor. ""usually"", because it depends on the pose, and this's not the case. also, the legs still seems to be unnconected with the rest of the body. i would stop, check some sprites for ideas and redo them.
