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.

**Tools I used**:  
- **Photoshop** (as always, my digital salvation).  
- **Brushes**: My usual go-to pack (just ask if you want it!).  
- **Soundtrack**: Epic fantasy playlists with heavy distorted guitars.

### **⏰ 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?
