Miles better than my first 6/8-frame walk cycles, which looked something like this:
I think I got it to work, but I'm not sure about how I do on the readability, since I'm still not used to smoother animations yet.

Readability is a quick fix, too! Just darken the back leg a bit more and it'll stand out:

Another way you could improve this animation would be to turn the head a pixel left and right as the character runs. Maybe left a pixel for 3-4 and right a pixel for 7-8? I would try it myself, but it seems that you reserved your outline color for your indexed transparency, so I can't edit it beyond recoloring without ruining the outline.
