Just gonna throw out there that pixel art is "art," but not really
Pixel art is about effective use of palette and space to create a convincing and attractive image that standard digital mediums cant
The reason "good" pixel art looks so good is because it was created under certain guidelines and standards that most all pixel artists adhere to
From the simplest to the most elaborate of pieces, they all "follow the rules" because doing so results in better work, and results are what pixel art is all about
no one is saying you are doing a bad job, its not a bad piece
but the criticisms you've been given so far are all valid, and true
Put pride aside and listen, and trust me, you'll end up with much nicer work by the end
