They look good so far.
Personally, I prefer the succubus character more.
Not really sure why.
Other than the smaller sprite missing the elf ears, I don't see anything that seems wrong.
I do kinda like the larger sprite since there's more detail to admire.
I'm not gonna nail you on the not conforming to limitations EXACTLY. I kinda see that as stupid and pointless unless one intended for the sprites to be used on the old system. I also hate limiting myself to that degree. Color limits are much easier to make the best of than image dimensions.
That's the best I got for a 'critique'. Being that you're specifically using a style/theme that is simplistic in nature, I do not see anything much to analyze other than proportions, anatomy, and consistency. other than that issue with the ears in the smaller sprite, everything seems fine. (also, i'm not great at critiques)
As for the usage of the sitting pose, though, THAT does look odd since there should probably be a bench or table or bed or something usually. Not saying that should specifically be part of the character sprite, itself, but perhaps some examples of what that might look like? Last I checked, most people don't sit on air. Ofc, if she rides an invisible horse/dragon/motorcycle, well...that changes things. Do what you may with that information. The sprite is fine. It's just that sitting poses don't work well without some idea of what is being sat on.

I will be checking back for more.
