Yeah, I just didn't like the green and they look too much like the Master Chief. I don't want them to be electric blue though either, as I feel that's too cliché (as Warhammer and StarCraft have electric blue marines).

Make the gaps between the stones smaller. This kind of floor is meant to be lots of rocks in some kind of cement/beton.
The Halo's shading is still off, you don't have a consistent lightsource. Especially the head and feet need to be illuminated from top, not from the front. The things to either side of his hip suffer from banding.

Where would you recommend the light-source to be?

At the top, that's usual for top-down sprites. Front is always a bad choice as it results in pillow shading.

How does shading the hips and lower bits work then? Do I have to use the dark shade cleverly along the bottom or something?

The proportion of the arms looks really weird. For one thing, he has no hands, and for another the ratio of the length of upper to lower arm is way off. It should be roughly equal. I looks more like he has horns than he's holding his arms up.
