Simple ideas

I guess this is my place to shine, ok let me state the fish here (see im fitting in), islander needs textures and coding for better walking. By that i mean press left or right you see a profile view of you.
Next is something that links sand with water and grass and so on, so its less blocky ish? I hope you get what i mean.
Ok and im thinking two differnt water types, deep and shallow, deep is darker and you cant swim in it, simple enough? Well probably not for fluff but meh.
You look different when swimming just enter water and your head and shoulders are bobing in it.
Slower running speed? The character is so fast he looks like he is a bit hyper.
Yeah thanks

The first 2 I have already textured and stuff, Fluff just needs to add them in ;P
EDIT:
You mean this for the second one?
