Looks pretty good thus far,, though might I suggest using more of a lighter, neutral color (maybe a de-saturated light blue or even purple) for the backgrounds? it's difficult to read what's going on in the sprite against that green. I know it's not much of a crit, but it's really helpful so others can see the spritework.
I'll definitely be keeping an eye on your work, I see some potential. Don't be afraid to stray from particular styles by playing around with stuff, too; I find that it's easier to improve if you have fun with the whole process.
I'm not particularly stellar at idle animations, but it's always important to remember that part of "selling" a motion is making sure that things bend and move believably: if a character's hand is rising up, then their elbows will likely bend with the movement.
Keep it up, and don't be afraid to ask for specific help if you need it.
