oh, if you were gonna go through the trouble of editing it, here's the original, from >>>/d/ddg:

>Fair. I have noticed a difference, using IbisPaint, with the erase and the draw of the same brush. It seems the erase is always additive (working like an air brush) whereas the typical brush isn't and won't stack its opacity until you draw an additional line.
i don't know what an "air brush" is, but i managed to remember which brush i tried before i switched it without realizing that it changed the opacity. pic related. gimp must work differently, so i could've just layered it, but i thought all the brushes would be the same, so when i switched brushes without realizing, i thought quick mask stopped making the brush see-through
>A semi-transparent smegma would work fine, because keep in mind the picture isn't zoomed in on the dick. A few artists come to mind that use transparent smegma: CanvasSolaris, PervYourBrain, and Sep
idk who "sep" is, but i checked the first two, and, i see what you mean. but i don't like that, personally. i was trying to do it like the style in the gen of the first caption i did:

it's clearly forfeiting mamimi's smegma to do it like angelauxes instead (3D, and casting its own shadow), but i wanted to add a lot of smegma despite the foreskin, so i felt i had to switch to angelauxes's style after all
>I also think you'd be better off using a simpler brush since it makes it easier to create your own shapes. I only really like those kinds (a pattern that automatically randomise) for adding textures to fog or some materials.
you're right. "fog" is essentially what the editor in the screenshot was using it for (a "bruise" template by doing so on a "plasma noise" layer), but i thought by using it i'd evade having to carefully shape it myself. looking closer at the same mamimi smegma reference, though, it's clearly manually done
