meat - Yeah, I bet those oils would add up. At least thumbnails keep usage down if you go with them, I suppose. (Between cost and space issues, I can't really do traditional painting, so I just do loads on a canvas in photoshop).
Well, I've been using Cinemasquid for film stills so far. I just checked out Raiders of the Lost Ark on there, they do look really good, so I think I will be doing a few from that film next, Thanks for the recommendation! Honestly I've been going fairly randomly at these (trying to go for blue palettes a bit more since I find them harder though).
As for the extra fur, I will definitely give it a go (I really like painting hairy things haha). Perhaps working in more down the shoulders merge the head in better with the shoulders with some mane or something.

Mostly sketches today. I spent the whole weekend at a fair drawing portraits and gradually cooking in the sun, but I did a bit of people sketching and doodling in my sketchbook. Plus some morning warm-up sketches and a bit of stuff from Friday.
Sketchbook sketches - a couple of pages are imagined stuff and the rest is just straight out catching passers by. Lots of kids to practise, man I couldn't even get them down a few months back.
Morning warm-up sketches
Hand studies with my old friend Bridgman. Mixture of life and photo.
Another 1 hr film study. Actually felt like I learnt from this one haha. Even if I forgot Batman's shiny muscle highlights.
Wrapping up this study too, I think it racked up something like 6-8 hours. Really worthwhile, learnt a lot about form rendering.
