Played with it a bit for fun, edited what needed to be edited in my opinion
What I changed (more into details):
Colors: I used 50% (1/2) of the colors you used. I think there was many useless colors.
The Face: Removed a lot of useless colors
The arms: made the character look a bit more comfortable, your edit looks like he's holding bike handlebars
The hair: kept the shape but used less colors and went for light purple hair
The body: Only used 2 tones of blue instead of 3 and changed the anatomy a bit
Legs: Changed the crotch area and added a bit of dithering for a texture
Feets: Gave them a shape, and shoes, you character's feets looked like a stickman's
But overall, it's a good change from the first sprite, good work.
