Just watched the whole thing. It's a really interesting approach. I like how you develop ideas "on the fly" and it was nice to see how you handle shadows, light and midtones in both saturation and values in such a convenient way. The result really is impressive for the time invested.  

One thing I wondered though...you were often talking abour when things look finished...for you it seem mostly when they have a consitent level of detail, some sharpness of shapes and at least suggested detail. However, sometimes I see pictures that are actually very unconsistent in their level of detail, or their brushed used..they may suggest detail in some parts but not at all in others, still they somehow look nice. Do you have any hints (or maybe tutorials, from yourself or others) on how to achieve that and when it is possible and when not to use this kind of technique?

Here are some examples of what I mean, they may not be the best but I hope they help:  Example 1 , Example 2.

Thanks for watching!

Both examples you showed have consistent edges, you see the same sharpness and softness throughout the whole picture.
What I meant was that if you have only one specific area that is very sharp or very soft but everything else is not, it creates a contrast and that'll make it inconsistent.
Haha it's really hard for me to explain but i hope you kind of get it.

Thanks for the reply. I think I get what you wanted to say - there are differences in softness or sharpness, but they are kind of evenly distributed over the whole picture, it's not just that one spot that is unfinished while everything else is perfectly detailed.

Also I noticed that in the first example the softness may just indicate the area that is in focus, like in a photograph.

In the meanwhile I found this video which might also explain when and how that effect works: Tutorial Vid by ClintCearley.
