What program do you use? If you use something like FireAlpaca, Gimp or Paint Tool Sai, you can use the 'blur' tool to blur the edges to make them smoother and less edgy.

Moving this to the Game Help board since it seems more appropriate there.

If you define yourself by the power to take life, the desire to dominate, to possess… then you have nothing.

I use Paint Tool Sai as well for my presets, and I use the "watercolor" tool to blend markings (it's also similar to the "smudge" tool on Gimp.) and make it a little smoother. You could always add a texture to your preset (Open up a texture in another layer, then set that as multiply and put it on top of the other layers) and/or add some shades and highlights in another layer. That's what I do whenever I make my presets, like this one here:
