Indeed, you got a bit away from the typical Alectric-proportions. Yet, it's still a little bit messed up, proportion-wisely. Allow me to demonstrate this:

As you can see, the arm-thickness is perfectly fine. So are the size of the legs. Yet, the torso is still a tad too large -- and by that, the head appears smaller than desired because you squish it into the remaining space.
So, my tip would be to open a sprite of character X in PS, create a new file, set both zoom-levels at the same size, and align the two right next to each other. That way, it will be much easier to not mess up the proportions too severely.
