Eh. I think that your changes to the pouches on his belt and his hands read better for detail, but they also take away some of the focus. The original sprite, while somewhat simplistic in some places, reads and guides the eye remarkably well. The added business of your sprite loses a lot of that. Your changes to the pants definitely change it for the worse. I like your lapel highlights, but your belt buckle gets a little lost. Fun idea for a challenge though!
