WIP Native Steampunk 4 or 5? Don't remember

Not sure if this picture will technically be the 4th or 5th in the Native Steampunk series. It'll probably be the 4th one I put on deviantArt, but in terms of how many Native Steampunks I've started it would be the 9th one. That's why you should never just do a number series, it gets too damn confusing.
Anyway, another not-important note about me besides my aversion to drawing backgrounds is that I also hate drawing patterns. I figure I hate doing repetitive stuff, but on the other hand I can grind shells and paper-mache, two repetitive tasks, from here to hell. So I don't know why I hate drawing patterns as much as I do. Of course on this project, I'm doing a whole shitload of patterns in the background....
ffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....ck.
Thank whatever for photoshop, because I can basically take this pattern:
And plop it anywhere as much times as I want. It is still a pain in the ass, my dear non-existent readers, because I don't want a whole bunch of floating patterns that look shitty in the picture. I want the patterns incorporated damnit. So that means a lot of adjusting, painting, blah blah way too much work. Of course, the reason I have to add in patterns is because Victorians and Natives had a penchant for patterns. And the red pattern above is based on basket designs from California and Oregon Natives, as I'm trying to make the fashion the person is wearing based on Californian Native regalia. So, here's the progress so far:

Last note: After I made the jpg that you see in this blog post, I continued working on and on the left side of the first window, and it got to the point where it looked fucking fantastic. The painting was detailed, the lighting seemed right, and the whole thing looked tight and I was about ready to work on the other parts of the picture. Then what do I discovered after several hours of work? I painted on the wrong damn document (fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck). Yeah, I painted on the jpg instead of the photoshop document that I was supposed to. So I had to do the left side of the first window again, which of course doesn't look the way I painted it originally (sad face). Bob Ross's whole "there are no mistakes, just happy accidents" shit doesn't even apply here (may he rest in peace), because the first time looked great but painted on the wrong document and didn't know how to transfer all the work to the photoshop document. Go me.
