Forbidding, But Self Guiding Digital Painting

These digital paintings seem to create themselves sometimes. I just seem to be the person holding the brush/stylus. I have started calling it multiple choice painting. I don’t know where I am going with it but make one multiple choice after another.

What brush should I choose?

What size should the brush be?

What Color?

Should I add a new layer?

Above or below the current layer?

What blending mode should the layers have?

Should the contrast be changed?

Should I adjust the hues or saturation?

I continue like this until the result starts to look like something I won’t want to disown. This one turned out a little more on the dark side and appears a bit forbidding. Creating a title for something that you didn’t start out to make and is hard to identify with is sometimes the most difficult part of the process.
