Can I bump this for a review? I'd really like some critique!

You have a ridiculous amount of colours and anti-alias where I wouldn't call most of this pixel art. It's kind of weird how only the eyes move, it kind of seems like the eyes are surrounded by a painting.

For the animation I would say try to make it look like the eyes close from both eyelids. like this:
You get in the bowl

Thanks so much! I thought the anti-alias blurry pixel-art was going to look nice, but you're right- it just makes it look like a low-quality image. I only animated the eyes because it was a test run, but thanks for the double eyelid suggestion; makes a lot more sense than what I did.

Actually I would keep emphasis on the top eyelid movement, the bottom does come up to meet it slightly but the majority of the blinking movement is by the upper eyelid.

Here, in addition to being funny this showcases the concept well.

Second, the anatomy needs tweaking. The thighs seem to trail off into nothing, and the legs don't have much form to them! Sucky as it can be to learn,ALL good stylization is founded upon a strong understanding of anatomy. See samurai jack and disney's motorcity for examples of teo ends on the style spectrum, you can best see the concept in action through their art styles because they start with strong anatomical understanding and push and tweak from their to keep their look clean and pretty!
