-Cropped eyes and made them smaller
-Made teeth straight I hope
-Choose to go with the pure ice tail and made the outline better
@Francisco Cifuentes- It's not an edit but I guess you could say some of his features are 'random' he's an odd creation.
@Poetic- Lol I came from a forum like that as well and I guess this is something you and me both have to get used to. But thanks.
Anyways hope this is better
Oh and do you guys like the new pallete or the old one? Let me know please.

I think it might be that the last sprite community I was a part of had gentler criticisms in comparison to TSR. Though you are right. people do get impatient. I just feel that most people shouldn't give this same attitude to newcomers because of past experiences. Still, I should probably get used to it.
Gentler != More helpful
I guess, in the end you're right. I'll be sure to remember that from now on.

Hm, well it is looking better. Still, you should probably fix up the tail though. It's a little hard to tell that it's ice. From what I've seen on ice crystal sprites, the shades of blue get darker as you go further in to the center of each of the flat surfaces. Plus, the edges of the faces usually have a sort of dotted white outline near top (or wherever the light is coming from) This is a little hard for me to describe. I could quickly make an example if you want.
EDIT
Forgot to add this. For the palette, I'd say you should go for the first one. The lighter blue gives it a more glacial feel. You can easily tell it's oriented with ice.

For the palette, the 1 has a better feel, but the colors are badly chosen.

its tail doesn't look like
ice
see this for example (disregard the fre)

Ice reflects light so it needs more contrast. Also, I don't like the outline. It's way too jagged and ugly.

@Poetic_Alias- I'll go with a lighter palette then thanks, I didn't really understand what you meant with the first part of your post though so an example would be nice if you have time
@Lexou- Ive tried so many differnt sets of palettes and I think that the reason they look so bad is because of some of the shading, I know that sounds weird but I think its true, I need to go back and see what I can do with it (this pokemon shading is no joke lol)
@Gorsal- Oh boy this is gonna be tricky, ive never been able to make natural elements look well 'natural' but i'll try. As for the outline do you mean the entire sprite outline is ugly? Or the tail outline?
