On the other hand, I feel like the main pointer is more "smart" than "sexy" like the I-Beam Pointer is. Also I think that busy pointer is too ascetic and too gray
I fell in love with this icon, so naturally I would recommend this color palette, but yes, I am aware that, since it will be official Krita icon, we couldn't use this, but I hope I've made my point.
And my final point is that the Question Mark Pointer have little bit too far question mark from the pointer itself.

I'm not an expert, but in my opinion, cursor theme is what should be done at the end of the design process. It's because it is probably only one piece of art in whole DE which is compared with all the elements of desktop environment. Personally I consider the cursor as a counterbalance to the rest of the icons.
