My advice riding off the above two comments, start over from scratch.
The reason why I say this is because both of the sheets and their respective sprites just have so many glaring issues from first glance that don't do much in their favor. The first sprite sheet just suffers from a lot of jagged line art and lacks shading. The second one suffers from slight banding in each ear and stylistically while the colors are good, I feel like that even with the shading they still feel pretty flat.
I'm also not sure how I totally feel about the proportions of each character either and, that's probably where references for these characters would benefit you as well.
And while you could edit these sprites as they are I think it would benefit you not to because my gut feeling is that it's only going to give you more frustration than it's worth trying to edit these as they are and spend an eternity on them constantly seeking feedback.
I've been in your position before and I have a pretty good idea that you are fairly new to making artwork in general, but you managed to take the first step in the process of making art in asking for feedback so I can tell that you're interested in moving forward to push your skill-set in spriting forward. So my advice to you and anyone else would be to take every bit of feedback you can get and move forward.
And I get that sometimes it's frustrating to hear that you should start over to but believe me, if you really have the drive for this I think you can get pretty far with your creative skills as a whole.
