How does this look so far?

Yeahhhhhh... What up with da ice Blaziken? Looks 8-bit, needs contrast, and need's A.A.(anti-aliasing). A.A. Is when you put a different shade of a color to make it look more smooth. On the inside, (which is not really AA) you would normaly use a darker shade, and on the outside a lighter shade of the outline color should be sufficient. Just don't make it too bright or it wont be visible.
And don't make the darker shade so dark it looks like part of the outline. If someone has a better explanation, feel free to tell him.
Also might look good with an outline.
