12x12 pixels combined with a fixed palette dominated by shades of grey. Those are some harsh limitations.

Hello, this is my first post on the forum and this would be my first piece submitted to the gallery...

I was thinking of submitting this creepy spider-like monster with a big red eye, but wow, this is harder than I thought, with such a small canvas size!
This is just a quick WIP of course, but I'd appreciate some opinions on what version of the animation looks better, and how to improve on it:
 

Thanks!
