Please don't make threads in the Submissions area if you need to work on your spriting. No worries though, I'll move this to the right spot.

Ditto has a more complex shape than that. There are more bumps on the top, two above the eyes and one for each hand. His eyes are also smaller and the mouth wider.
(Sorry for being so blunt  )

Interesting sprits you have there, mate, but what would you say about making the colors look a trifle bit brighter? Right now, they look a little too unsaturated and I think saturating the base colors a little bit would make them stand out a little bit more.

Just one more thing. When you apply shading and highlights to sprites, the shading and highlight colors should be slightly unsaturated.
Keep up the good work, though!

Do you use a program like Photoshop or Adobe Fireworks? If you do, then if you look in the adjust color menu, you will find an option box tab that reads Hue/Saturation. When you fiddle with the window that pops up, you have the option to toy with the saturation of a color. When you do the highlights and shading, make sure that you insert a negative value in the option box to desaturate the color. While the main color of the sprite could remain saturated, I recommend that you desaturate the highlights and shading.
Did you catch all that?

I see... Well, for beginner sprite artists, MS Paint is absolutely fine. Of course, when you become more seasoned, might I recommend that you like into more powerful applications? I heard that GIMP is just as good as Photoshop. Sure, it's tricky to use, but it wouldn't hurt to download it, right?

MSPaint is absolutely fine for any sprite artists. It's not the program that matters, it's the skill of the person working with the program. Different people use different programs mostly because of personal preference.
