Looking for some C&C.

[Gelsamel]

It's a replica of Kratos's sword from the Tales of Symphonia OVA.

Transparent BG:


BG that I drew it on (deviantart bg):


It's not going to be a sprite so it doesn't really matter about having to suit all backgrounds.

I'm looking for any criticism/advice esp. with manual AA - I have no idea how to do it (when ever I do it my straight lines turn wavy).

Thanks in advance! This place looks awesome

Edit: Actually those aren't the same the one with the non-trans bg doens't have the right shading on the hilt, but very close :3.

This is my attempt at manual AA, I have an idea of how to do it but I always seem to screw it up, and no-one on any board I've been on seems to want to help :S.
