No Credit to Tom Payne for the super-early prototype Badniks, that's one.
A lot of this just seems to be a recolor of pre-exisiting content, from Dolphman's customs to the original game sprites themselves. Submarine Eggman doesn't even have much of a change and for some reason there's vermilion fire involved, while the 'freeze spray' is light blue. Plus, it's a mix of styles in of itself - Sonic 2 (Eggman, Hill Top tree), Sonic 3 (Angel Island rocks, Ice Cap crystals, Snow Bomber's body). Consistency is key.
The things that are unique - not edited or recolored, quite simply don't match up with the quality of the rest of the sheet - the baubles, the gift, the sign, the snowman, the background, the carts, the letter, the star, the water, the ice block. I'm not even sure what that white block above Sonic, Tails and Knuckles is meant to be - them frozen?
Basically, my question is this: do you want to emulate the Sonic 2 look, or the Sonic 3 look? With those being the styles used, besides Dolphman's, you're going to have to pick one of them and study how their shading works. As for the background, it is clear that you want to try an aurora, but those things aren't static - they glow and have some shape changes. Study the Sonic 2 and 3K backgrounds for ideas on how to construct it.
Edit: I see the edits at the bottom of your post. Be patient. Just because you posted, doesn't mean everyone's going to flock to look at it immediately. I'm in England, so the time that reads for me as to when you posted is 05:42 PM. That's just over an hour ago as of this addendum. The last edit was about 10 minutes before this reply, so I was probably writing when you made the fourth beg. Just wait next time, and if it's radio silence, come back with something new to show off.
