Hello all, I've come for some critique. =]

Firstly, I took the cyndaquil from the TUGS preliminary round and shaded it (I was away so I couldn't actually enter). I thought I did a pretty good job, but I'm not the greatest with fire, so if someone could tell me the proper technique I'd appreciate it. =]
Next beside it is a custom oddish I made; I'm trying to break out of the habit of editing others' work because I figure I'll learn more if I try it out myself. I thought I did a fairly decent job, though the leaves may be a little overshaded. I tried to mimic the style of the cyndiquil, but I don't really know the name of the style so I couldn't look up any examples. I figured since the leaves aren't really solid, they shouldn't get a black outline, but I could be wrong there. What should I do to make it better in general and more in style?

Lastly, I tried making a color palette based off the advice of the noob tutorial posted here, and used these colors on the cyndaquil and oddish. Is there anything particularly wrong with any of them?
Thanks a lot. =]
