Hmm... yeah, I think it does fit better in the tileset now, but honestly I was hoping you'd change the tileset to match the sprite (I've got a soft spot for black outlines). I also meant in terms of the character's proportion and structure. I prefer the fatty version, too, by the way.
I was thinking about this and I couldn't pinpoint what was bothering me, so I messed around with the image's colors a bit. I hope you don't mind.
(Oh yeah, everything you updated in the picture were great steps in the right direction)
My edit:
yours:
I just increased the contrast and yellowed many of the lighter shades a bit. I may have overdone it, but I think it gets my point across.
You had these lush tiles (especially grass) but the lack of contrast muddled them. Also the sprite has a nice cartoony feel, and the extra contrast also conveys that feeling.
Some other small things: I don't like the hoed dirt tile at all, and the young tomatoes could be improved, too, I think.
Eh, I guess I could have just said "more contrast," but oh well...
