Linkie to the Blorg, resistance is... pretty viable.
Someone should get the PC version to try it online, cuz I'm not gonna.
Project Snowblind as seen by The Den!
RE: Project Snowblind as seen by The Den!
Den, I don't know if this would help you in Flash or not, but when I model/paint/render, I always output to an extreme resolution of say 7200x4800 and then you have this giant poster to paint on and details are very easy to manage. When it's all done, I shrink it down to normal size. I hope that helps. 
Painter IX and Zbrush2 rock, but for a vector only solution, Illustrator CS is of course your best bet. As far as being "free", I will simply say they are "free" to use once you have them

The minor details for vector drawing aren't the exact problem, but the cleanliness I require to make the details in flash with. My Flash style is different than my classic paper style, designed very simply for animation purposes.
Such as in the following image, starring one of my many kooky and adventurous characters... or something.
The lines on the left are me sweeping a line really quick on a Wacom in Flash. It's smooth and solid, but inaccurate (in that if I tried doing that, I'd miss where I wanted to put the line). On the right is when I slowly drag my pen over to form the line I desire, as with the displacement of guiding my tablet to my screen makes it quite difficult to create an accurate stroke like on the left. Not really slowly, if I move the pen at less than a fast speed, it'll leave a bunch of jagged edges.
The character's (Gloves Dresnedn) head on the right is the initial image I drew real quick within a minute at the 100% zoom of what is shown. I then spent another fifteen manually smoothing every edge, as Flash's built in smoothing makes the drawing very imbalanced, some lines are eliminated or expanded at random.
Then outside of Vectors and into Bitmap style paint, I do such things as a gigantic X000-by-X000 with a 500 dpi. Even then with my Wacom, the jagged edges are there, but when I shrink it, it becomes negligable, there's no problem if I keep it to Photoshop. Except to take it from the bitmapping to the vectoring creates just as many problems using Flash to trace the bitmap as if I would have just drawn the thing in Flash in the first place.
I saw previously that Illustrator was the potential best, but then there's the four-ninety-nine-ninety-nine I surely do not have.
