Beautiful work, Arsheesh! I love the gentle colours and the ocean looks fab.

I'm interested to hear your thoughts on Krita. I've dabbled with it a few times, but I always run up against its shortcomings and end up going back to Gimp (partly because I'm far more familiar with Gimp too. It's just easier!) Krita's just finished another round of fund-raising, I believe, and they're fully committed to further development, so it's definitely one to watch. The software is only going to get better.
