Needs more contrast between the sky and the Edwardian looking fellow.
Also, look at some pictures of sand/deserts.

The glow on that moon is not pixel art. :-\ Also, keep your light sources consistent! The pencil is lit from the side opposite of the moon and the man has no specific light source at all.

Your text is very hard to read, it hurts my eyes.

In reference to original post: green w/ bespectacled face...

re: antialiasing: no, no, no! Don't do it!!!
This image had the best text contrast.  The enigmatic-ness of the face details are also nice.  What does strike me as odd is the great distance from the glasses to the facial hair; in combination with the largeness of the spectacles, it makes the image feel top-heavy.
A little reworking and it's a keeper. :)
