I actually like them. The leg movement seems a bit strange but not much can be done with such low resolution. I actually like how you managed to make them closer to real life proportions despite the low resolution.

My sprites are actually loosely based off Deep Thought's sprites in Blast Labs. :P
By now, the contest is over. Wish more people participated. :(

Does this qualify as a signature? 
The answer is "Sure."

I think spriting is dead on CodeWalrus for the time being, though. Omnimaga had the same problem sometimes. There were periods of two to three years where absolutely no one on the site were interested in spriting at all. It depends of the field of interest of the current members I guess. Your best bet is to just use public domain sprites available elsewhere and give credits to the maker.

Another issue is that contests tend to be only popular when organized by long-time TI community figures and there have been way too many small contests lately.

But where might I find monochrome 8*8 character sprites that would work for a Platformer?

THose might be much more rare. There are probably some in old CodeWalrus and Omnimaga thread, but I bet if you google for PICO-8 sprites then you could find more. They would most likely be in color, though.
