Thank you for your comment. I used a color wheel to help me with the colors. Since light blue is associated with the Rat, I just needed colors which would work with it. The color wheel is a big help in that regard. The character is zi, Chinese for rat. I drew it by hand while eyeballing a reference, then cleaned the result up on my computer.
Year of the Rat by @Roadstripe (CyberCorn Entropic)
Chinese year 4706 is the Year of the Earth Rat!
The Rat is associated with the color light blue. His kanji is zĭ, Chinese for rat. As the Rat is always yang, he's masculine.
Chinese year 4706 itself begins February 7, 2008 and ends January 25, 2009.

Very cute. I like the choice of colours in this image, very vibrant, yet complementary. Nicely drawn rat and good job on the Chinese character.
