The only difference I can see is the hat is shifted 1 pixel down, is there anything else?

actually it's the sunglasses that became bigger. i also changed its color so it won't blend with the background too much

Some more stuff,the sweat drop in the second one uses Sonic's pallete from Sonic CD.
The Bottom one I don't plan on shading yet.

His name is Ignus.

EDIT: animation test/wip
EDIT2: getting there
