Alright I've taken away the black background in hopes of using the color to incorporate a little more detail in the sprite, would appreciate some advice or an edit because I'm not sure it's quite right.

[Kellawgs]

I think I should try to condense the current sprite into a lower resolution, it may fit more into my skill set in terms of detail and could look a bit cuter.

E-
about this size would be good, not sure if i can keep it readable after a cleanup though

[Kellawgs]

i am eager to hear some opinions as to whether this sprite would be a better fit

I can't say which would fit better, since there is barely anything else to compare it with?

I think the black contrasts too much. It is really noticable on lighter backgrounds. The simpler edit I made blends in with lighter backgrounds though (especially the green), so you probably want to keep a darker colour.

You should bring the back leg into the small sprite. Currently the sprite looks like it's side-on expect the plug, which makes the plug look slanted compared to the head.

some more character into it
