I've really got to stop trying to do multiple experiments on one model. Made a lot of progress in getting speed paints to do what I want where I want. Tried using varnish between stages and probably didn't let it cure enough before trying to do an oil wash. I wrestled with the eyes quite a bit, I could get a blacked out area and white orb I liked but could not manage a pupil. On the cape I attempted to do some stitching texture but didn't let it dry long enough that when I put an ink over it it pulled it up. Overall a decent 75% of the vision I think which along with the lessons I'm pretty happy with, especially at arm's length and not photo zoom lol.
