your skeleton sketch is leaning back too much; flip the sprite to notice such inaccuracies.
also personally this 'skeleton' stuff like the way you're doing works better in higher resolution media such as paper drawings and maybe bigger PAs/digital art; small sprites like those should still follow anatomy, but albeit in a more simplified way to fit the sprite and still be readable.
This challenge is not mainly pixelart; it is more a challenge to test your character design abilities, so look for a bunch of references of greedy traits, their symbolisms and colors, posing etc.
