You know, the usual reptilian-like thing with a skull for a head eating the usual gerbil-looking animal.
13 colors
Umm, CC?

Are the majority of those images WIPs?
I really like the "final" result, although, if you're going to leave it on the background you may as well AA it to the background.
The dithered head and not so smooth back aren't cutting it for me though. I'd kill the AA where the back arches and replace that skull dithering with a solid color.
-
You mean take off the aa on the curve of the back?
That's unusual advice, but we'll see.
And I kinda liked the dithering.
EDIT:

This would look really cool animated, I think his green should be toned down a bit or maybe you could make it a brown, so it'd fit the feel of it better.
-
His pose is heavily off-balance, he would fall forward. You need to shift it so his centre of gravity is over his legs.
-
Try the pose, it works, barring the spine being uber elastic for this guy.
And I'll try a palette edit.
-
try the pose again, for the mirror, and you'll discover one of the rules of balance : when the knees are bent and there is no other support the breast will never pass them without causing a fall. this is a rule of drawing a person running at topspeed, when this rule is broken (locomotion being nothing but small leaps and controlled falls)
dump the dither on the head else he'll have pockmarks all over his bones, typically considered a no-no for living things. Then of course, having a skull for a head is also a bit of a no-no, isn't it?

Also i flettened his body a bit, which i would correct but you get the idea about the pose and the skull anyhow.
