You just have to make this into Piccolo doing the Special Beam Cannon animation! 
The shading could use some work, the pant's could use some specular shades, look more like clothing, etc. Also, with a sprite this small, you'd be better off just blending things in rather than using outlines for everything, like the muscle protrusions on Piccolo's arms. I'm also noticing that you're just changing the luminocity of one shade for all the colors of piccolo, instead of doing that, you should get some hue shift action going on, some selout, etc.
