Charmander Tiny Toons style

[Codestar]

I think your main problem when doing this sprite is that you were trying to copy the tiny toon sprite style too much and not the tiny toon art style. when the original spriters made these sprites they wanted to copy the style of the tv show and making into a sprite format, and that's what you should be focusing on, rather than the aspects of the sprite itself because in the end, you'll end up eye tracing too much and producting a cheap knockoff.

I made a quick edit to your sprite to get my point across a little better. hope you don't mind. Notice the enlarged cheek areas and cartoony crossed eyes. Even though charmander doesn't have a white area in his pupils, it's eccential that you play around with his design when drawing him in a new light.
