This is a sprite I made of my fan-character Zero.

That was my first try and I got lots of helpful tips! Thanks!

With my new version I couldn't decide how I wanted the ears, so I made two ways. Which is better?
Here they are:

How much have I improve between the first one and the second two?

Its time to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and im all out of gum.
Hey dude, that is pretty awesome for a first try.
I would add a bit of shading to the trousers, not too much just a bit in the folds but that's entirely up to you!

The head is a little misshapen, and the shoes and pants need to be shaded. You should never leave anything one solid color unless you're spriting in 8-Bit. But it's still very good. Nice Job. ^_^

There was mention of the use of solid color earlier. It may be a personal preference, but I try to use no less than three colors to shade with. That way, you have shadow, a mid-tone, and a highlight for each color.

This may also be another personal preference, but try not to have a solid black outline if you can help it.

It's an improvement! Number two is definitely the better of the two.

Blue streak, Speeds by... SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!!
First question.

Is he edited? Or custom?

Edited as in did you take a sonic or tails sprites and edit it to that character? Or by custom did you do it pixel by pixel? did you start from scratch and make that?

If it's edited nice job, number 2. If it's custom, it's an OK job still number 2

lastly, it doesn't look like the ear on the right connects well, fix that by adding a few more pixels to connect it to the head, and everything will be fine.

Character Select
You might want to use Genisis style instead, I know I personally find it a lot more pleasant to look at. It's also easier to work with because it's larger. Genisis Tails: http://www.themysticalforestzone.com/sprites/Sonic/Tails/Tails%2001%20copy.gif

You may also want to work on adding more to the character to make it look less like Tails.
