Thanks you guys, I work on making the suggested changes!

 Thanks Jeremy, I combined both animals palletes. Plus I did a back highlight on the 'possum I'll probably take out.

Thanks everyone, for the compliments and suggestions. I'll try to post more in the coming days.

 Thanks snowk, contrast absolutely, I'll try and lessen the lessen the banding as well.

 Thanks bobowitzbob, it's been years since I did pixel art/ animation. When you say 'flash', did you mean the black claws just popping out? If so, I'll fix that. The animation seems choppy with three frames. I'm going for that "Street Fighter" heavy breathing before they battle plus I'm kinda rushing this to beef up my portfolio. Definitely, definitely thanks for the input!!!
