I'm not trying to be mean, and I'm not trying to scare you off, but in order to improve that sprite, you are going to have to actually remake that
sprite from scratch, instead of making minor changes to the same base over and over.
The current glaring flaw with this sprite is simply anatomy. I know you are just starting out, and It can be tough, but you need
to get a grasp of general concepts so that your work can improve. So far, the only "improvements" have been minor, and haven't
really addressed the real source of the problem. Is the character a raccoon that stands upright, or a humanoid raccoon hybrid?
Either way, It really doesn't look like either. The proportions of all the limbs are strange, or just don't make sense. He has no shoulders,
no knees, no elbows, no neck, no torso... this list goes on but I'll stop there. Limbs have joints, simple as that, and all bodys, human or
otherwise have rules as to how those limbs and joints move.
