Black Star Pixel Style

Well I made this in a contest, but I'm thinking of trying to turn it into a sheet.
There aren't a lot of Soul Eater sprites out there, so I might give it a try just for fun.
Original:

I played around with the arm a bit, I thought that looked pretty horrible in the original

Please give comments and criticism. I want to try and make the original stance perfect before I move on to other stuff.

I think that his head is too small. He is young anime character. His head is small comparing to his body, that makes him look older than he actually is.

Since you didn't link the first image properly I decided to do it so it's easier to see them side by side.

Make his head just a bit bigger. I saw some pics of him and you can see his smile in it
Also his belt should be higher up by like a pixel or so. He wears his pants up to his elbows lol.

I improved what you suggested:

But I'm actually thinking of going with the original stance and just fixing a few bits. The thing is, in the anime when he moves around and stuff his always goes underneath his collar.
