Have a quick edit to illustrate some thoughts.

I think you should increase the contrast and merge a few similar colours (I cut it down from 13 to 9). The shading of the head and leave body doesn't match - the head is shaded on the right, but the body is just as bright there and should be shaded, too, to have a consistent lightsource. You can use your outline colour to apply deeper shading to some areas, too. The other ear should still be visible judging from the eye position. The stem should be less bright as it's fully in the shade - plus, sopme frames use a dark outline at the bottom, but others don't. The front-facing sprite's faces look a bit pillow shaded because you applied a band of shade on the left side. The nose doesn't match between the front- and side-facing sprites, either.
