You have wasteful color usage for one. If you notice all of your shades pretty much blend in to make another brown. It's seems you tried to use dithering; which doesn't really work on something as small as that. Higher Contrasting shades in more concentrated locations will help it a lot.

The arms should be slightly longer (increase them by one or 2 pixel length), but this is only if you keep in proportion with the chest, however...

I'm thinking you made the head and torso too large for a 32x32 icon, and you tried to squeeze the legs in. Resulting in a bazaar "small" leg appearance which seems to not have been done on purpose. I don't know, maybe decrease the size of the torso to bring it into proportion with the legs/arms. You'll end up with a "big headed" character style, but it wont look as weird.

The way you did the feet, it just looks like the legs bend at a weird angle where the knee should be.
