hey, you could say at least some friendly things. They don't look THAT weird and I'm sure they will improve if we don't just say "they look wired"(lol wired).
Anyway: I think the biggest problem in the first one is the head( nearly everyone has a problem either with the head or with the hair.) It is much too small. It's Davis head isn't it? So you maybe should first use his head, then maybe overdrawing it.( You can leave the hair as it is, although some more shading would be nice.) Then just make his legs thinner.
The second sprite is quite good, but it looks weird because of some minor problems: The arms aren't very round, his left leg fat( it just goes up. It should go to the right). Again the head isn't perfect, but better. However the belt looks awful. I'm sure you could do that better.
