Having emotes keep limbs stiff instead of bending them in a non-vanilla fashion will make the emotes a lot more clean and more fitting with Minecraft's style. Removing bending limbs could be limiting for some of the already existing emotes though so bending elbows or/and knees like in the second photo with Bitzel and Godis could also be an alternative. I recommend checking out animations on both Bitzel's and Godis' channels on YouTube for animations that better fit Minecraft's style.

Oh, also the first image with Herobrine is an example of animations that don't fit Minecraft's style.
