Morning boyo!
Here's a thread of some of my crap, towards the bottom you'll notice I start working on a rock. Right after the first overdithered version you shall find Adarias several different references, and even a godly edit on my piece from helm!

As for the clouds, just massive dither like you attempted to do on the rocks. <- That was more or less a joke due to my quite terrible physical pain keeping me from giving you and honest and thought out answer. Will be back later.

Welcome to the forums man!
First, I'd like to say you seem really talented ( far more than me I might add
). So if anything I say doesn't really bother you, just ignore me. This is just my opinion.
I'd really like to focus on what fil was focusing on, about the curtain like parts of the rock on the left side of the mountain face. It would do you well to make more defineable faces on the cliff as well. Plus, some details and cracks and such like that also will work wonders for you.
Dithering:
Dithering is one of my more favorite forms of shading things and can be one of the most effective in some places and others for texturing on a piece. But it seems to be overdone on this piece and made things seem smooth in some places they shouldn't. Adarias has some really nice rock references, I'll link them to you when I find them.
Overall, this was an excellent piece my friend.

It does, but it's the method you use to create the art which defines what type of art it is. If you're using brushes and color reduction or otherwise techniques. It's a bit of a "cheat" if you're trying to call it pixel art.
I'm not too much of an artist myself, but it's the only way you'll get better. As for my opinion, when mixing different tools like, using brushes on pixel art...I don't think it'll turn out well unless you're a seasoned artist is all. I think it's a terrible practice overall. If you're going to brush art. Brush the whole thing. Friend of mine has done brushed, 3D and pixels as well and I don't see him often or at all mix any of these and his art is more often than not beautiful.

Thanks guys! I appreciate all the crits and such. I just got back from being at my Grans house for a day and haven't had time to pixel much. But I just started working on it some more.
A friend of mine suggested I use some hue shifting on the darker sections of the rock as aposed to straight grays. So here's how the rock is going so far, and a small animation next to it adding some hue shifting on the furthest rock in the middle

I really like where this is going, the basic shading on the face I'm really digging. Looks nice and smooth the way cheeks ought to be! 
But as a suggestion for when you do the hair, add maybe like a couple pixels of dithering at the base with a dark color to make it look sort of course but smooth at the same time. Hold on I'll see if I can visualize what I mean.

WHY WOULD YOU SAVE PIXEL ART AS A JPG? WHY DID I SAVE IT IN ITS NATIVE FORMAT? WHY? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
Wow, what an amazing edit you have helm. It's helped quite a bit! I coulda swore I saved it as a .bmp tho!
