Um, it looks like his right hand is holding the sword by the blade which is... bad.

I dunno about art enough to comment on the rest :(

From what i can see, this looks very nice a and stylish... but then again, it's hard to really see anything. Maybe you could stick the picture to a wall in better lighted room to take a picture? At least that way the paper wouldn't bend like it does in this picture. Uhm, yeah... The only thing I think I can see is that his front foot seems to be smaller than the one in the back, where it should really be the opposite. But that might just be my eyes fooling me.

Its too blurry to critique this. The only thing I can say is his one leg, the one on his right, looks like his foot broke off :-/ Its too far forward and you wouldnt see the whole bottom of his sandal.

....no it doesn't. The hilt is right above the right hand >_>

I like it, but a clearer picture would be really helpful. Not that I just want to see it clearer cause Samurai Jack kicks ass. No, not like that at all.

Ergh, too blurry to get a very accurate critique out of me . . . that foot is definately gimpy, it needs to be facing more straight ahead.

Actually, on second glance, I think I see what you're doing. Yes, the foot's angle is probably right for what you wanted to do, but you need to add perspective. He's charging, so that foot is farther forward - therefore, you need to draw it proportionally larger than the back foot. As is, it looks like he's standing on his heel at an impossible angle.

I would have said something about his back shoulder rising so far over his head, but then I remembered this is Samurai Jack and the laws of physics and proportions are different for his universe.

Yeah, the left leg (his left) is bent, obviously, but you need to show that with a fold in the clothing.

Otherwise, good. Nice clean lines.

Can't see it too clearly...

...but from what I can see, it's fairly good.
