Hey Splinter fam! 👋 Long time no see, huh? Life's been... complicated (more on that later), but guess who's back after ages with new Splinterlands Fan Art? This time, I took on Sain Mire, the Continuum Seer

⏳ The Time-Bending Seer

For those who don't know her, Sain Mire isn't your average fortune-teller. She's a time-manipulating sorceress working with the Riftwatchers, pulling strings (and possible futures) to keep the rebellion alive. She's the one who saw the Battle Mage coming and sent the Dauntless to meet them. Big. Deal.

But here's the catch: the future fights back. Her predictions are "highly inconsistent" (aka "sometimes the magic 8-ball glitches"). That's what I loved drawing—her power isn't just "I know everything", it's "I gamble with time, and the house always wins... maybe".

🎨 The Artistic Struggle (Serious Talk)

Let's be real: this piece almost didn't see daylight—I started the sketch in December 2024 (an eternity ago!). I wanted it to feel ethereal yet tangible, like halfway between now and later. The glowing hourglass? Spent 3 hours on that alone. The floating time shards? Let's just say Ctrl+Z was my true ally for every stroke.

⏰ After Disappearing for So Long... What's Next for Me?

Personal moment: Art is now my full-time gig. Yep, big changes ahead. 🚀 That means (hopefully) more art, more often, no more vanishing for weeks—tried building a new life in a new city but it was a failed experiment. Now I'm back in my hometown rebuilding, so now more than ever I need your support. What's coming? Tons of Splinterlands fan art, original pieces, maybe even saving up for a tattoo machine? The future isn't written... but I've got a pencil in hand and I'm gonna make art with it.

So let's get to the good stuff! I'll leave the painting process GIFs below for you. Now I want to ask: do you prefer posts like this - shorter and sweeter - or more detailed ones showing each painting step by step?

Give me your feedback and I hope to be welcomed back in the community - I've missed you all so much!
