Second part commission for 
The very interesting designed character of Samuel Cross back
in his music making days.
Last time I wish to say I am sorry for the troublesome path
it took to get both commissions down but I hope I did not sour
your view on me and you are pleased with the outcome.
Thank you for being so understanding when I was having trouble.

You kidding? You've never heard of it? :o
Painter is a program similar to Photoshop that emulates traditional tools. In my experience this sort of coloring is easier to achieve in Painter than in Photoshop because Painter has a smudge tool that allows effortless blending of colors. After I found it I never went back to using Photoshop lasso tool and gradients and all that... That was way too time-consuming.
With Painter you can apply bright tones directly on dark areas and just spread the paint very smoothly with the smudge tool. If you do it right, it's very quick and no additional shading is needed because the contrast was there to begin with. I thought that was exactly what you did here. :)

And just to give an example (I'm sorry for being so talkative, I guess I got carried away):
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1649839/ <- This guy's robe was basically just one dark blob before I added some red paint on it. I admit it's quite quick and crude compared to your submission, but the point is that I didn't add any shading to this guy. Just added the lighter bits directly on dark areas. Kinda a like... a topsy turvy approach, you know.

Ah, I see! I've never tried using Sai. I do feel kinda dumb now for recognizing the style of coloring and thinking it was only possible to achieve with Painter. There are probably a load of programs I'm not aware of that emulate traditional painting... :B
But anyway, I think it's very lovely how it's possible to blend the colors so that they almost seem to turn into liquid. You've certainly done a very good job with this one! :)
