Hey, ilovescratchcie! Wanted to give you some feedback on your sprites here.
I'll start off by saying that he doesn't look much like an elephant and takes more after a rat in the face. This is due to the trunk not having much form and the ears being pretty unreadable. Try giving the trunk a more curved shape. Reference the official model more closely and key in on the shapes that are present and think about how you can convey that in a 2D space. The hat is also blending in with the head, which I'm fairly certain it's not supposed to do.
I'd also suggest revisiting your linework on the body as it looks a little blocky. Feel free to make the body even chubbier but smooth out those edges a bit.
I think this is a good start! Reply if you have any concerns. : >

Hi ilovescratchie! 
I have some more feedback if you don't mind!
Suggestion #1: I think it looks pretty good but the inside of the ear is the same color as the cap
and the outside (grey) of the ear is too small; it looks like he has no ear and the cap just has a cape behind it.
Suggestion #1 fix: I would suggest changing the inside of the ear to a different color or generously extending the
grey part to almost surround the inside of the ear.
Suggestion #2: It looks as if he's missing a second ear as according to the ear that is facing the camera it should
stick out over his hat.
Suggestion #2 fix: Just add a few pixels of the ear on the left.
I've made a rough example of what the sprite would look like with the changes (you do not need to do these).
(Example 1 is with the different ear color, Example 2 is with the extended outside of the ear.)
