Hold on, just stop. Stop making animations.
Your base sprite is off, and needs to be fixed, so you need to stop making more sprites. The errors will just propagate and it'll just be more fixing you'll have to do.
As Paladin has pointed out, the anatomy is just no good. His chin is not well defined, his face is all scrunched up, his arms are noodles (no elbows), his hands are pincer-like, his torso is, quite literally, a rectangle, and it's probably much too long. Also, the hair outline is basically a scribble, there's no sense of direction on it.
Design-wise, That combination of colors just looks unsightly, and essentially picked at random. Try using your colors more creatively, use some references if you must.
The shading (which has also been stated) is also wrong. You have two blatantly conflicting shadows, and they don't even properly follow the shape of the surface they're on.
Finally, give some thought to your character's pose. I can't even tell what he's supposed to be doing; is he pretending to be a t-rex ? Look at fighting game references if you need ideas, just plan out what your going to draw before just digging into it.
I would've presented some visuals, but no internet connection from my Pc at this point unfortunately.
