Nice clusters and 45° lines.
Digging the unusual palette a lot.
Nice update and colors tho it looked nice in greyscale too.
I tried adding a ground shadow. I wanted to keep the cel out on the feet the way it is while adding a shadow. The only solution would be to outline the feet in white, or redo the cel out :(
I also AA'ed it to hell. It was already as smooth and sharp as I wanted, but I went ahead and made it smoother cuz you said so. I didn't need AA practice -_-
A little ground shadow or suggested horizon line could help.
You should have tried some AA as you have the right kind of piece and just the right colors to practice.
Diggin' that palette!
