Well, it seems in my opinion the biggest problem is the design itself. It seems to be the focus is the guys with his two chicks, but most of the painting is just the wall.
It would seem that it would be a better composition if it was zoomed in on their busts, and most of the wall was cut out. Of course, at this stage, that essentially means starting over, and I can understand that it's very difficult to do.

It's hard to distinguish where the girl ends and the guy begins. The girls sleeve is unreadable due to all the high contrasting color. There's just too much clutter on everything, it drowns out any perspective. And what's that guys head doing down there near the floor? Or is that a head? Took me a long time to realize there was another room in back. It looked like there was a painting of someone and the light on the panel was light from the outside.
If you don't have the room to make clear detail, don't. Skillfully leaving out detail is one of the hardest most obscure things to learn in pixeling. You just have to develop a feel for where to not do something.
I like the setting though, nice atmosphere. And props for getting some interesting facial expressions at that resolution.
