For one thing, the colours. There is not nearly enough contrast to properly convey this. Also, for what you want to do, that's really too small. You can't fit as much detail into a smaller sprite as you can in a larger one. By attempting to do so, you clutter it up and make it impossible to understand what is going on in any of it. In short, work bigger.
