Okay... Here is a really small squirrel.

And yes, he really is this small in the game.
The problem is, he looks like crap.

I can't draw animals to save my life and the fact that it's so small doesnt help.

What do you guys think?

it's not that crapy at all. Make the tail more flufy and the legs more round and I think you have a great squirrel.

The tail should be as long as the body.
And, it looks like he's about to fall on his ass. Moving the head 1px to the left and the legs 1px to the right would do it.

khrismuc is right, he does look like he's going to fall down. And I think that the leg is too long. Also, I think that the tail should go higher. Other than that, it's nice. It's small so it doesn't really need a lot of detail

If you post two pieces of artwork so close to each other (like if they're both still on the first page) you should consider editing it into the other thread. That way it saves CJ's cache, cash.

Fix the legs... the squirrel looks like having only one leg. Its tail looks like a second leg, so he looks like being in the middle of walking.

As you can see in the photo reference, squirell legs are usually folded. I tried an edit, but it is kinda small to notice properly:
