Like they've been squeezed unnaturally. So you need to sort out the proportions a wee bit, perhaps something a bit like this (quick edit, nothing altered on mask):



Either way, the wisps the previous person recommended aren't something that are needed at all unless they fit your vision for the design of course. A lot of people seem to be going for the wispy body, single mask route so you should probably play around with this a lot! Get creative!
Thanks for the critique!

Yeah, the shading on mine is horrible. I like the shading on yours. (EDIT: Added Female Sprites, Shiny Sprites, and Back Sprites)



Here's my second attempt. I decided I wanted him to be more wispy, but still retain the furriness that I had originally. I also attempted to mimic your shading, by which I mean the whole work-on-blocks rather than lines. I'm not 100% happy with my shading, but I think it's a big improvement over the original. I'm not sure if I should make him a bit thicker on the bottom, but I didn't want to ruin it so I left it how it is at the moment.

EDIT: I dislike the shading of the back sprite. I feel it's too rough compared to the original.

I also changed the ears to the mask in order to better resemble the original.

Thanks!

I would go for a full facial sprite, but I'm not really good at those.
