Splinterlands Art Contest - Week 287 - Countess Sinash

Good day, everyone. Another Friday means that we have another Splinterlands Art Contest entry, and I haven't failed to be on time for... quite some time now - which makes me proud.

For this week's contest, I decided to return to memory lane, re-draw Countess Sinash, and try out my new skills again - the same trope as before.
The last time I drew her was for the 266th Splinterlands Art Contest, so we're coming back at it after 21 weeks (which is around 5 months).
Honestly, the difference between them is like night and day. (BTW, you can find the previous entry here).

As for the background, I was going to leave it at the last Process pic, but I felt like it'd become too plain and boring, that's why I chose to give it somewhat of the same texture as the fireball in her hand for drama effect :))
Honestly, both would have gone well, but with the added effect, she'd look more menacing and dangerous as portrayed in the original card's art...

But yeah, that's about it. I hope you're as impressed as I am excited to share this progress. Catch y'all on the next week's submission post~
Cheers~
