I don''t think your screenshot sux. I mean there are two styles of art mixed and THEY don''t look good to gether, kinda like wearing pink jeans under a leather jacket. So if you made the world around the "persons" in the same type of art it will look a whole lot better.
And where the F**K do you get your cash from?? I am happy when I have 600 gilders(dutch currency, average $1 equals 2 gld) on my bank account... Ok I admit I am making a game with a budget of $0 but then again I am an assembly programmer(not trying to start a lang war here...).
Also I am 15 and I don''t understand any of that martix crap, so you are doing pretty good (ok but then again after 5 min of reading about matrixes(?) I trurned to IBR).

Shit happens, carpe diem et noctem.
