Some Critique, Please.

[ClubbyBear]

Well, you weren't lying about how you're much better since the last time you posted sprites.

Anyway, you got some really great improvements here, but for the two bears on the left, try giving the shades more contrast and hue shifting. Also, the circular highlight on the big bear's face looks a hair bit odd. Perhaps it could be improved?

Also, for some reason the legs of those bears look rather stiff. Maybe you could do something to make them less ridged?

I'm not looking for critique on the right, I meant the large one on the right.
Also, the style of this is similar to a bit of pillow shading due to being 'stuffed animals', while it uses a dark palette. I'm not sure how the legs could be stiff, so if you have any examples it'd help.
