okay you got a great base going here...the only way to fix that problem with the wobbly look is to anti alias. but since you're going for 4 colors this could be difficult. adding another color would easily fix it.

I had a hard time making the sword not look super wobbly (even now, it still kind of is). At least I tried! And at least it's more animated!

Looking into it now. ^_^

Thanks to both of you. :D

i agree with devlin. although the sprite as a whole bounces in a hypnotic fashion... i think id like to see a little more movement in the shield/sword. maybe just a slight sway from left to right..or the tip of the sword dipping down at one point of the animation.

 That's a very striking style. Even without "REAL colours" it looks very well made! I'd like to see more sprites of this style/character
