Looks good.
For that style I definitely recommend acrylics. Or guaoche.
That's funny though, I prefer oils for the exact reason you hate them.
Depending on how thick you apply it, it dries within 24 hours or up to 3 days typically. Longer if you are really slapping it on thick. But i love how i can mix colors on the canvas and go back to certain areas before it's dry. But i tend to paint more realitic in style.
