My first (real) pixel art. I wanted to start with the limitation of monochrome to see if I could make something semi recognizable.

That's really nice! Especially for a first attempt

If I can make one suggestion, courtesy of watching a lot of Bob Ross: the light hitting the water on the moon should show clear horizontal lines thanks to perspective. It's close to right, but there's just enough noise in what you've got that my eyes can't read it quite right.

Otherwise, great job!

Thanks! Yeah, I rushed that part. The dithering was doing my head in, and all I see is the imperfections in the dithering that prevents me from seeing the full picture
