First, the image is a .jpg, which is not a good format to save pixel art in. Second, you don't need to upscale the art before posting. Especially not 20x.

As far as the art itself goes, there is no clear light source, and this makes the bottom part unreadable.

Even if someone before told you that .jpeg is not good for pixel art cause it adds distortions and unnecessary colors you are still saving your drawing as .jpeg  ???

Your new version have so much necessary dithering that you can't even tell what's on the image. Dithering don't help much on small resolutions especially when you have high contrast between colors you try to blend and when you use this many dithering. Also avoid using pure black.

If I were you I would scrap this drawing, plan out design and colors and start fresh. Think about it as part of learning process, and don't get too attached to your drawings.

Just use imgur. Don't see a good reason not to.
