It's alright for a sprite. Not sure if the type of submission to put on the art portal, but it's okay. It looks like something that would fit well in a flash game. He definitely has all the aspects of a stereotypical hobo. Pretty food for a submission that was made quite a while back. I thought there was shading, but at a closer look, my eyes were playing tricks on me. Could add some background to spice it up. Overall it's decent, Bravo.
