Fast Edit:
That eye crippling pants color is annoying to work with.
There I fixed all the problems I stated in the sprite. Asides from the color. I have commissions and orders to attend to, so I couldn't do all of the needed adjustments. I fixed the sprite a lot. Poses, shape, and proportions.
I didn't really touch the hat. I might do it later...
I wont mind if you worked off of my example but it would not help you improve at all. My example isn't best but it's a rough edit of what the sprite should be looking like in it's current stage. Fix all the problems then Add 8 or less colors for shading. Your sprite should consist of 16 colors in total.
He looks more like Mario than a 'middle aged man'. (Get it? XD)
I'm sorry if my comments confused you. In my house hold gullet is the throat area. (It leads to the stomach so I thought you would know what I was talking about).
