he looks much better in my opinion

what changes were made

the black lines around the eyes are consistent and less shaky, ears are more straight, quills are more neat and less shaky the face is more symmetrical, and the little blue eyebrow thingies on his head are larger and symmetrical

Oh. I dunno how I didn't know that.

you can see it if you look closer at both of them

I feel like I definitely should have noticed the ears and black around the eyes though.

Color palette?

nah thats just the lighting

Oh.
