ari: Heya!   Thanks for the support!    Yeah, the swamp studies were definitely a brush issue.  Luckily, I've been discovering and getting to know Krita and its brushes pretty well, so hopefully my studies will be looking smoother.  It's still a bit of a challenge, though.

dodeqaa:  Thanks!  Yes!  Must.. Keep .. GOING.  GOING.  GOIIINNGGGG!!

I've done a lot of grayscale studies in the past, but not near enough colour, so I thought I'd tackle that a bit, amidst all this perspective madness.

Got a bit of a WIP here.  I know it's kinda against the law of awesome to use colour picker-- But what if I'm only using it on the colours I've already chosen by myself, in order to blend darker or lighter, and make it smoother?  Not really sure how else to blend.  Tips on blending would be good.  Otherwise I will be looking up tips.  I'm avoiding the blur/smudge tools, but maybe I'll give them a go.  At least at the end, for clean-up?  Dunno.

This is not even halfway, as far as I'm concerned.  Those hood tendrils are gonna be fuuunnnn.
