@Gaia: I still honestly can't see how he's cross-eyed, to the point of it being bothersome even. Both of his irises are fully visible so I assumed viewers would see him looking back at them, not at his nose. I'll try to make an alternate version in the future, but I don't think I can replicate the same effect I was going for without completely changing the shape of the eyes themselves. The reference I used was the official artwork, which noticeably has larger eyes than my version, this however was intended. Though, I could use to make his jawbone less wide, it makes his face look more masculine even though he's a kid.
@Goemar: The Prinny is my first animated PNG, because when I initially tried saving it as a GIF, the colours got messed up due to the GIF format's limitations. Since the only way to save the animation without quality loss was APNG, I went with it. Previously I hadn't been bothered when saving my animations as GIF since they used less shades of the same colour, so the colours were never merged into one.
Here's the current Tanoomba, I said in the first post that it was old and had been touched up since. It's as flat as the rest but the readability's important at such a small size. I might be able to shade the bottom of the head a bit but it could be difficult without adding another shade of brown due to the (relatively) high contrast in the current palette.

The first Monster Hunter icon is indeed from Monster Hunter 3G (great game by the way), it's the game's cover monster Bracchidios. And I think I'll stick to the more triangular shape of the Goombas, I think it better matches the official artwork and recent game depictions than a more rounded one.
