Pixel Joint Forum: April Fools III challenge WIP

Message

   Here's the current version of my challenge entry (10th revision so far).

I'm attempting to pay tribute to Blick with this piece, not too loosely based on his 3 piece series:
Redd http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/2341.htm ,
Orinj http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/2342.htm , and 
Bloo http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/2340.htm
As well as the trademark "shouty-triangles" (don't know what else to call them, sorry).

This is my first try at AA so it's a little rough.  I've looked at a couple of tutorials on AA but it seems to be as much intuition as skill so I guess it's a case of practice makes perfect.

All credit, respect, tribute, and apologies to Blick.

	the best way to realize if AA is correct is to put some distance between you and the 1x image, and then look for rought edges.

	Well, I've done what I could with this one. I have to take my wife to the hospital tomorrow and the weekend is pretty full as well so I've submitted this, as is, to the gallery to endure the C&C every challenge piece gets. Anyway, despite the piece being submitted there's ample room for improvement so feel free to continue comments here; any changes I make based on them will go here. Thanks,
