Maybe go with something other than black for the outline, like a darker shade of the color it is outlining. I like how you made a nose on the side view, thats almost never done.

very very nice man. If your going for a cartoonish, cell shaded look, the black outline is fine. but if not, then do what Body said.

Thanks guys, I took out the black outline and put in a dark brown instead and it worked well. I also added movement frames.

Looks much better IMO. It looks like you captured the walking movement very well too. What kind of game did you make it for?

The second frame in the side view, the arm looks alittle weird. Try making the arm come out alittle more. And distinguish the jaw line and neck.

To me, it looks as thought the left side view's eyes are different from the right side view. It seems on one side, the pupil is wider, on the other side, it looks as if the pupil is taller.

I just thought of something..it appears to me that on the side states, the guy is dragging his back leg. It might just be me, and when its fully animated you might not notice it, so don't worry about it to much.

I see what he did. Its better if you dont just change the line on the second state for the walking and remake it all together.

Okay, I've been real busy and haven't gotten to the east west states, but I have re shaded the base, and fixed the animations. Heres the most updated versions. (I'll add the east west once I'm finished with them.)

It looks pretty good. All I can say with my limited experience is that I'm not sure whether to agree with the swaying or not. It's more realistic I suppose, but I think it might be too severe. Takes the focus off everything else as your mind tries to comprehend why it's moving so much.

Another thing to consider, try dropping one of the shoulders down as he walks, because I don't know about you, but I certainly don't robot my way down town. ^^

Other than the few comments I could come up with, looks great.
