You see why I asked you to make non standing sprites?
well, even if this is an old stuff you still need to start making something less stiff, like gad said (stick in the a**).
Looking at tornado animation you can still see that stiff pose, only tornado effect makes it look good. Its like toy figure that can bend arms and legs.
edit: If you want to become realy good spriter, try making various things. Making one same pose wont make you good enough. Make same with many poses and that will be good enough.
