The Last Connoisseurs of Warm Colours

There's something amusing about the artist pointing out this picture's plothole themselves in the alt-text. That said, I'm not particularly enamored. Why are the figures so clear while the ground is so blurry? How is the rat surviving?
Earth is under attack by a giant letter T! Someone call Letterman!
The helmet looks more like a green beret. The rat is sufficiently rodentine. As the only clear details in the work, they are commanding more attention than the artist perhaps wanted them to receive. It’s true that, being so sharply outlined, they do not seem to fit well with the blurry and almost impressionistic background. I am classing this as mid tier.

I have to agree with Dubs that it's the stark contrast between the clearly defined rat and skull and the murky, lineless background is a big clash. It makes me wonder what my eye is supposed to be focusing on, and it's frustrating because everything in the middle of the picture (where I naturally want to look) is blurry.At the very least, I think you should have given the horizon a bit more definition. Right now, the piece as a whole just kind of feels thrown-together and odd to me.
I think it's not only the focus contrast, but also the amount of things in the picture that hurt the impact a little. This dude is already a skull, even though the bomb just went off. Plus, his body is MIA, and I'm struggling to picture a scenario where that would happen and there wouldn't be more things lying around.
It's a busy scene, but the execution is missing busy-ness.

I'd write some retro, but the only interesting thing I have to say about this is the list of objects I was considering to put there instead of the rat:
- baseball bat;
- an assault rifle;
- the rest of the body (or just some loose bones);
- a pack of cigarettes;
- empty bottle.
