Description
A dead rat who hasn't realized he's dead yet, so he's still creeping around.
Made with 4 colours. It went through a lot of different designs until i finally settled down on this one.

I like to keep it simple. If you use to many different colours the image doesn't quite tie together. Sure, only 4 colours is a bit extreme, but that's how i like to do it

Well I think it looks good. Very unusual, I like the idea of instead of making it as colourful and wonderful and complex and artistic as possible, there's a quite subtle beauty in using as few colours as possible.

"hasn't realized he's dead yet"
In the he's too stupid to realize or he just doesn't feel dead yet kind of way?

I dont think he wants to realize it. He feels like staying alive, ignoring the fact that his body's pretty much decayed completely

Ah I didn't consider denial, that's an interesting way to go. Ignoring death, makes the rat even crazier. Nice!

Really neat! Looks like it could be a boss in a video game.

As some one who utterly abused turquoise at art school, I give this palette the thumbs up of approval!

You used 3, technically, I wouldn't count the background (I counted multiple times)
I like it. It's very interesting.

I always count the background, just to be on the safe side
And thanks!

A perfect piece on how to hide your pixels without AA. Choosing angles that work best goes a long way in pixel art.
Did you study the subject, by chance? Or did you mostly teach yourself?

I've learnt pixel-art mostly by myself. I have looked up some tutorials when i was starting out, but most of my experience was gained through doing lots and lots of experimenting, and of course studying other peoples stuff very closely.
As for this piece, I looked up a lot of pictures of rat-skeletons on google and then worked very slow and steady on converting the feel of the figure into my style.

Very nice! The four color limit and the angles really give it a unique feel.
