The main body is all blurry and compressed, and the quils are obviously just pasted and sloppily rotated without any cleanup done. That's not even Sonic, anyway; it's Shadow. The quils also have too uniform a direction and don't spread out at all like quils should.

I actually did draw the quills not pasted and I made his eyes a little sharper I used a Super Sonic Sprite for a reference.

Really? There's so much jaggedness and loose pixels. Even if you didn't rotate them, they're still very sloppy.

Making his eyes "a little sharper" doesn't get rid of all the ugly compression on the rest of the sprite. And all it looks like you changed was adding a couple solid blocks of red while drawing a couple lines above the eyes.

Your problem, aside from leaving the compressed reference image in the sprite, is that you don't clean up your lines. They're jagged and there's loose bits here and there that tell me you just went over them with the pencil tool using a mouse. A couple places might have used the fill tool or a thicker brush, but even they don't look thorough.

I'm sorry for being so harsh, but this whole thing is just a mess.

I swear I saw the sprite before without all the extra quills. But I can't find where.

Either way, I do have a feeling you edited the original pixel art to make this. The shading on the extra quills don't match most of the body.

From this scene of Advance 2:
As they're saying, this is all pretty messy. But you'll learn soon enough that spriting is more than just sloppily pasting things together. Beginning spriters like yourself tend to get put off by critique that is "harsh," but just keep in mind that critique is meant to help, even if it comes off in a seemingly negative manner (there are exceptions though, critique is not the same as being a downright jerk).
