What should I change? Also, when I saved this to .gif, the colors changed. I'm using photoshop, is there anyway to prevent this?

Save to PNG next time, that should prevent colour loss.
As for tips, I would say that any interior outlines (like on his stomach) shouldn't be black lines. ------------- |

Always post your references.

I tried saving as a PNG and that worked.
I think it looks a little bit better without the line around the stomach. 
I didn't know that I was supposed to post my reference. If I use a picture to trace out the line art, is it okay for me to use the pixel art I make on my website? |

No, unless you have the original piece author's permission. |
