it's the way you shade that bothers me. here, i've found a few, but there are many more:

it's the shape of your shading according to the form in which it's in, it's also where you put your highlights... now there are probably several reasons to this: the first would be you're not sure of where the light source is, the second how it impacts the subject; the third would be you still need more practice on refining your pixelling technique (pixel clusters and such). i recommend you go look on pixelation for helm's "tutorials" where he talks about several things including pixel clusters.
