Hey man, awesome work!
My entry's background is quite inspired on your entry :)
I really like the colors with this style. They're very calm and pleasing. 
No worries, I get where you're coming from. this piece was hastily thrown together for the challenge, I don't intend to debase you or your work or anything like that.
I simply noticed that it was more than what looked like inspiration as things like the lineart match up, and certain aspects like the arrows and the design at the top of the quiver.
Yours is much improved over my own so I won't fret you for it(you can keep it), but I feel you should have been upfront about it, is all.
yeah, I have the quiver form a minecraft itemset I was working on, looked at your piece for inspiration, if you want Ican change it out.
Especially like the key and the fish (nice job on the scales!
I'm a little curious about this:
From my work here: www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/67539.htm
A traditional rpg style, how nice <3 The use of fish item is very intriguing (weapon replacement? haha)
Stunning. I think your artwork is exactly how I want my pixel art to look one day :D
Cloak blends in a little too much - my only crit.
I like the subtly different backgrounds.
Clean and readable and needs to be expanded into a full Minecraft itemset ;)
good work
