Can I level up now?

Wow, those are some noice sprites. Your technique and color choice are exemplary.

For the knight guy, to make him look more like a puppet, I'd say extend the chin and maybe make it look like there's less weight on his feet, like he's just dangling but being made to look like he's standing.

For the idle animation, there could be some arm movement and the legs could bend somehow. Maybe his shoulders could bounce.
