the anatomy is still weird for the idle. the shoulder closest to us is below his neck while his other shoulder is at his neck. he's also leaning forward. flip the sprite and this will become apparent.
the left side of his head is also somewhat lacking of a cranium. id recommend to add more hair to just fix this and not make it look weird
try experimenting with colors for a bit. the ones you currently have are dark and contain low contrast. this is very noticeable with the brown and blue you made. go a bit lighter.
also, i took one frame of the running animation and made a drawing to show what the sprite should be going after

imo, i think the head should be sideways during this animation because the head itself just looks glued on when its starting at a 3/4 view.
