I tried making a sprite again. No context for this, yet. Any thoughts?

You could add a bit of shading on the back leg, just under where the front leg passes by it.
You could even just shade the back leg 100% to a darker gray.
Not too dark, not as dark as the chest piece.

Yeah, that looks better.

The real odd looking thing is his head.
Is that a helmet or gray hair.

I was told these colors were poor and that it still didn't look like hair.

The main problem was there was not enough contrast between the face color and the hair color.
Also the gray uniform is gray, so too much gray.
Try brown, for the hair I mean.

Yeah I guess.

I tried to copy that file, to mess with it, but it wont load in PS and it wont even display in Win7.
Says its damaged or corrupted.

The torso needs to bob up and down.

Something still seems off but I'm not sure what.

When the leg goes forward its usually fully extended.
Your upper leg angle looks ok, but the lower is bent at the knee.
This makes him look like he is stubbying his toe all the time, and about to trip.
So when it matches the upper leg angle the foot will hit the ground on the heal.

There is nothing super wrong with what you have, if its a sort of combat jog.

have a look at this.
