After 2 weeks of grinding Twitter, I've ramped up to 100 followers, so I made this cyberpunk city scene to commemorate the occasion. It took me forever, and I didn't properly plan the animations, but I think it came out pretty good still. Comments?

This has 40+ colours, not 16 like you said. Every colour counts, including ones that appear only in some frames as things tfade in and out.
Also, automatic scaling down isn't a good idea for your thumbnail, since it just distorts everything. Maybe use a crop of the moon or the triangle thing instead?
This is a taste thing rather than anything objective, but I think the text animation's a bit overwrought. I think the still text looks a lot "classier", with just the warning light and thing at the bottom animated. The text animation reads not as something interesting ot beautiful, but as a cheap attention-grabbing trick rather - even though it doesn't need to grab attention. The fact that it's a pixel art piece with pretty colours does that job, and rhe text being bright and big already ensures that it will be read attentively. If anything, I feel the flashing letters distract from giving other parts of the image a closer look.
