I've been liking these sprites quite a bit, especially the coloring. One thing I'd like to suggest is that this figure seems a little bit too rigid for the context! The legs jut out perfectly straight down, and the arms straight up -- maybe try a wider stance, and spread his arms a bit more? Another thing is that his arms seem much too short in this sprite, even though on the earlier one with his arms straight down, they were roughly the same length on the surface. I suspect it's because when you raise your arms in the air, your shoulder lifts a bit as well, giving them more height, though that doesn't account for all of it.
Definitely play around with the sprite a bit more, and keep up the good work! :)

He looks too skinny while his hips go out quite a bit.
