Another trick is to apply a really hard shadow (say, 90% opacity), then plonk down a bit, and then hit I (or whatever shortcut for eyedropper) and get the new colour of the overlap, then keep plonking and droppering, and you will get a nice smooth (but not too smooth) shadow. This guy does this.
Good trick, but I can't remember any tool by the name of eyedropper in GIMP. Will check it out anyway.

Had to start over as I managed to save the whole shit as a png-file as I went along, making the layers I had go away.
Edit:
Tried to redo it again just to see what I could do.
Should I stick with the old or try the new?
Edit2:
Edited even more. I think I'll do it this way than the other, and I figured I need a bigger canvas now, or crop it down.
