Thank you for the replies, gulls!

The speckle looking like chipped paint is exactly what I was afraid of, so I guess I'll remove that.
As for the coloring, for charms, I personally prefer soft, pale colors. I was going for a sort of flat/papery look if that makes sense? But I guess I executed it poorly.
I tried adding in some simpleish shading, although even this looks a little harsher than what I'd like if I'm being honest. I'll keep working at it, but how are these for a start?
For the top example I also widened his lower body, and for the lower example I redrew her legs with more care, and made her head a little smaller.
And yeah I've seen people make charms with regular proportions, maybe I'll try it.

Also >>10123292 what exactly do you mean by plain? Is it the lack of shading, or the poses are too boring also? Do you feel they're completely unsalvageable?
