Art style

General
I've experimented with many techniques and gone through a variety of styles, but I think I've finally landed on something I really like and want to keep doing.
Specifically, I'm thinking about the "Morning Shower" pictures and "Zal - In the Field".
I think in these, my art finally looks more like... art. I'm putting more thought into lighting, planning out scenes more thoroughly from the beginning, and OpenCanvas is making things much easier for me. I'm also really enjoying the painted look I get from coloring and lighting in OpenCanvas.
Before, I'd run out of memory and have problems if I tried to do anything too big or with too many layers. Time was wasted battling the software and not spent on the actual art.
Now I'm much happier with my end-results, and I'm looking forward to drawing a lot more this summer.

And yeah, I rather liked the techniques you used in "Morning Shower" - keep it up and see where it takes you, definitely, it looks great! Digital painting is always a good time, I must admit I have a soft spot for it. I don't own OpenCanvas, but I like immitating a "painterly" feeling on Photoshop by just setting the paintbrush tool to a low opacity and flow, and layering it on.
