RPG sprites

[froggerfun265]

This is the main character in my RPG. Not changing the style. Want to go with something simple so I can sprite a lot of characters, so only the faces will be shaded.

If you think the main character looks bland, then I've succeeded, because that's my goal. He's supposed to look bland, especially compared to the NPCs (which I haven't even started on, but will have much more dynamic designs)

As for the animation, I probably won't rework it, but I'm still all ears if anyone has tips for the future.
