RMCAD Self-Portrait

This fall I'll be attending the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in Colorado. For Orientation, they want each of us to create a self-portrait on a 7.5" square of canvas.

Since I am rubbish with brushes, I decided to put together a piece of layered pixel art. In the version I submit, I'm gluing the bottom layer (sky, clouds, lightning) to the canvas, then on top of that goes the Sea of Noise, then me (the paladin), and the flying mouse cursor goes on top. Looks pretty nifty, IMHO.
