Knight, you've given me a lot to ponder about, thank you! I realize I wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing, all absorbed into trying to understand what these brushes do. Evident brushwork and brush economy is out of my reach for the moment but I admire those who do it. I wasn't paying attention to the colors either. A light skin in a natural light I would desaturate in shadows (blue ambient light + reddish skin = very desaturated red that our eyes read as bluish), but with this imaginary purple hand I did the opposite apparently. At one point I cheated and looked at my own hand for the contrasts, i wonder how it would have turned out if I hadn't. The whole page was intentionally from imagination.
The two strong points of MyPaint in my view so far are this slow ink brush and some blending brushes that are very soft and watercolor-like. But there are thousands more downloadable brushes that I haven't tried.
Yes, I would rather call these AIs what they really are, generative adversarial networks, or Artificial Solipsistic Silicon.

Then back to comics for real now, preparing to redo the first bcorp short story:
