Looking good! Lots of potential for detail and character, couple of things though;

The outfit is lost in darkness, which causes it to look flat and uninteresting. I reckon increase the value of the green to differentiatie it more from the brown and attempt to get more shading happening with it.

The animation is a little too minimalistic, I think. I reckon a 4 frame cycle rather than the 2 frame will help imply more movement of the legs. At the moment it kind of looks like his standing on hot coals or something ;).

Good stuff. What kind of game is it? Top down shooter? That's what I guess...I'm working on one too, it's kind of a pain doing 8 directions of animation and all that. Anywhoo, enjoy

thanks for the feedback, i'll give those things a try, i was thinking of bumping the animation up becuase i needed to in order to get the right and left animations to look like walking anyways.

and yeah sorta a top down shooter inspired by old school gauntlet where you just keep getting attacked by swarms of monsters.  we are designing it for the nintendo ds just for the fun of it, part of the reason he is so tiny ;)

anyways, appreciate the thoughts!
