Very cartoony, hehe. However, the weakest part of this portrait is the helmet. The green highlight does not match the rest of the helmet's grey. If the helmet palette was focused around a more green-grey mix, it would make more sense to have that green hightlight then. Without some darker detail all around it, it feels flat.
The column-like dithering also makes a muddy effect because of the obtuse amount of colors. I'd also like to note the very square mustache in that the way it's colored, it looks more like a rope on his lips than a hairy tuff of... facial hair.
