          | I created a piece in Pyxel, then used photoshop to combine the components and animate it. After looking through forums I assume it is because of the small pixels faded over the background pixels could of been mistaken for anti-aliasing. I'm not really use how I could upload it with making it a static image.

          | Anti-aliaing isn't a bad thing (when done in a controlled way) and has nothing to do with the opacity 
effect you're using. The large amount of 
automatically generated colours your opacity effect creates are the issue. 
 You could go through each frame and fine-tune the colours  to reuse a smaller number of colours.
 
 If you want to spend more time on this piece, you could go the extra mile and hand-animate the transition so that instead of fading in, the creature actually comes out of the darkness (the shadows on it would change, etc). It would be a lot more work but it'd look really awesome, I think.
 
 (Also, I recommend linking gifs rather than gifv when dealing with pixel art. Video is lossy, the formats are designed for gifs made of videos and such, not for pixel art.)
