Well, haha, to be honest there is a lot of stuff that goes into, and it's very complicated to explain. My best advice is to experiment with what GIMP has and go from there, but I do have some words of wisdom to help out.

One of the big things I used to use was the colorize option. You have to create a selection on the image in the place you want to color. I usually use the free select tool (looks like a lasso) and create a selection I want to color. Then you go to the top of the window where the image is, and click on the color tab. It should bring up a list of things, but you should click on the "colorize" option. And then it will let you fill in color for that selection on top of the image without making it look "painty".

In regards to my more recent stuff (like Zay Arlenn and Fordo), that stuff involves models in modeling programs, and me creating the textures by hand from scratch and posing the models in GMOD. That process I cannot explain and is far too complicated. The skins you see on those characters are not public though, since of course I made them.
