Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I hope it was useful for helping you get started. The next part will be in GIMP, so you're in luck there. I have to check out Krita, I hadn't heard of it until you mentioned it. You know, considering that good software is constantly being updated, I don't think it makes sense to pay for software (unless updates come for free). It would be better to deal with the high-quality free things and then purchase extras as one can - such as with Daz.
