Dithering abuse(don't kill me)

[Afelium]

Here's a little pixel art I made within an hour on my phone.A friend said pixel art isnt real art,and I had to prove him wrong.
I wanted it to look coarse,so I used a lot of dithering(maybe too much)

as always,looking for feedback

You call that abuse? I'm the one abusing it on the thread I just created yesterday.
I personally, like some dither. Your image looks quite IMO.
It could maybe do with a bit more contrast... Specially between his leather holster and red shirt, and to some extent between his hair and hat too.
I like it how you repurposed many of the colors there.

Only when I zoom the dithering it may bother, but in original size I think is quite good!
