1. First impression: This is way better and way more "attractive" than the original. These look modern, young, fresh, light and somehow sportive. It fits very well to the slogan of the olympics
2. Characters: I like how the orange one looks male (pose and bodyline) and the blue one female (feet!). It's the thing with the mascots that they got just on eye, what makes them look creepy in original, but here it looks more "natural".
3. THE EYES: I often focus on the eyes if the characters, and so for here they look "made not grown" in the image, it won't stuck in my head with an emotion, just as a picture.
4. Background: the London Olympics logo, matching to the colors of the mascots. Nice. Well, the shadows irritated me for first, but maybe the picture would look too seperated in orange-left and blue-right if the shadows "matched".
5. Personal Opinion: Like written in the other critique, I would hang a poster of this on my wall. It could really be the official poster of the london olympics, great job!
The lines and colouring style works well with the strangely abstract background and conveys a clean-futuristic environment at a glance. It sets the viewer up for an experience, or primes their imagination with anticipation for something akin to the world of OZ in Summer Wars.
The presentation is very well done.
The actual issues lie in the anatomy and some of the detail work.
Watch out for the arms. I myself have trouble keeping arm-lengths consistent, especially in perspective, but the error is very noticeable in high-detail still-image art. The arms also seem disproportionately thin compared to the size of the hands and leg girth.
The eyes appear more to be liquid filled glass than opaque spheres, but that might be intentional.
The connections at the hips look messy and unattractive, as does the torso-design. You are led away from these (by the looks of your effor intended to be) spatially interesting parts, by the sheer fact that they are small, and the contrast is somewhat muddled. Either revise or enlarge those parts is my advice.
That the characters have tails isn't immediately apparent either.
Overall the pair definitely has potential, they are immediately recognizable, have readily distinguishable silhouettes and are kinda cute. With the appropriate catch phrases and well-written dialogue they could very well go viral.
Very well done. Would hang a poster with these on a wall.
