Nice lineart  ;D
Good work, though looking a bit too blurred for my taste. The shoulder/arms area seems a bit aliased by one missing pixel (compare the part in the blue box (edited) with the other side (original) of the first image). The second image is a quick edit of the arms/shoulder area the way I would have antialiased it. Not too different from yours but it looks imo a bit less blurry:

Looks a little fuzzy, to be honest, rather than smooth.

Like philipptr's post, at times, it looks a little over-AA'd.

one rule i try to always follow is to never aa the outside of a diagonal line, it always looks blurry.
