SO I tried a new technique involving acrylic washes, oil washes, and coloured pencil. It was a lot of fun but this is only a first attempt... But GOD was it nice to paint for fun... Took me about 2-3 hours start to finish.
After several frustrating, antagonizing, curseword hurling hours trying to figure out Adobe Illustrator, I gave up and made angry watercolour/ink messes of pretty goils. Then I felt much better.
