this will need a significant amount of work before it will be permitted into the gallery. Your realization that it requires improvement tells me you're already aware of this, so the WIP forum is really what you're looking for at this stage.
firtstly the image is far too large for a beginner to properly learn pixel technique, but as it's for a banner I'm not sure how inevitable this is. The sea, sky, highlights on the gas mask, etc all seem to be rough squiggle marks. Pixel art is not just art composed of pixels, it's the thoughtful control of those pixels. haphardly-drawn brush squiggles need a lot of refinement before being part of a pixel art piece. the face shows a lack of anatomical knowledge, i'd advise doing a sketch-over to show us what the face looks like, but for critique purposes and so you yourself know what the underlying structure consists of. The explosion is just lasy, large bucket-filled blobs are neither attractive now convey what you'd like here. google atomic explosions to see their actual form- they're hardly this simple. The shapes you have done pixel level work on could be pushed further, like the wonky circles that makes up the robot eye.
I'd take all of these things into consideration while working on this piece, and feel free to create a WIP thread if you desire further feedback from the community.
