You came up with a very original idea, kudos for that. I like the animation with all those small details, but I'm not too keen on the colours you went for, they look a bit plain to me. Cool picture anyway!
I'm out time on this one. Wanted to go on the challenge thread with this for crits etc but I don't have internet at home either (and it's a looooooong walk to the internet cafe..)
