I'd say that the way you've rendered the helmet comes as close as that style out of everything else..
Think about your lighting. Light acts predictably enough in space that you can actually paint it without struggling so much. Research lighting and how artists use it (in movies, photography, etc. not just in illustration.) Your piece right now lacks coherent lighting, materials.
I like the color palette, and the composition has a nice quite contemplation going on. I think that the piece is strong in that regard. Just start filling in the missing pieces and you'll be set.

Just do a ton of studies and research, the more you know what you're doing the faster you will be able to pwn at painting.
