Yes but you obviously have absolutely no comprehension as to why and how and when you apply antialias.
Antialias on the outside? Almost absolutely never because that way, your sprite won't work on varying backgrounds.
Also, you upscaled it using a floating point scaling factor. Only upscsale with 2x, 3x, 4x etc whole numbers. Also, don't upscsale.
Did you ever look at a sprite? By which I mean, taken a close look trying to figure out how the pixel clusters work? I guess not. You really should. Because honestly, this Kirby is one of the worst Kirby's I've ever seen (including my own).
Excuse me if I sound rude or accusing. It is just that your sprite shows that you either
a) didn't think about what you were doing and just applied a bunch of techniques you don't know
b) wanted to be funny with a troll sprite we've had these stories their not funny.
tl;dr Don't use antialias when it is not needed. Don't use it on the outside (unless you work with alpha channels but noone does that). Think about why you are doing what with your pixels. Present sprites on 1x scale (if you feel the need to post higher res, keep the whole number factors in mind and put the 1x scale on the pic, too). If you're totally new to spriting, don't start with advanced techniques like AA but try to learn the basics first (lineart / shape, basic shading).
