Thanks for your comment. The coloring is weird, because it originally had a bigger palette. I decided to switch to gameboy palette because of overall minimalistic look and low resolution.
I prefer the thumbnail myself :). This looks very experimental to me, there's varying degrees of detail between each character, and not enough perceived distance for the knight/guard above to have more shading, if anything they should have less shading. however goatman is good. Keep at it!
I too like reducing color, the gameboy is definitately a good palette to go by, gives that instant nostaligic feel. Don't get me wrong, I like the readability of this, just some overall small niggles here and there. (as stated in my previous comment)
