Side: Villain
Character Name: Sinnis, the Unraveler
Idea: A powerful sorceress taken over by an ancient primal force. That will unravel and tear all into ribbons including reality itself.
Story: A once renowned sorceress in search of power went after the knowledge of the forgotten ones. What she came upon was an ancient pool of water with no reflection. She looked into the void and gained the answers that she sought, she now knew the true nature of existence. Her mortal mind could not hold this true knowledge and her mind began to unravel, but so did everything else around her.

I really wanted to participate in the last art war, but was unable to do so. I had thought to participate in this one as well, although I thought that I would not have the time, but after seeing the extension provided over the holidays, I decided to give it a go this time around and push myself to complete a piece within the remaining time frame.
The extension happened to coincide with some free time that presented itself, and I have pushed myself incredibly hard over the last five days to try and complete the challenge.

In the scene I want to have soldiers coming to stop her but are instead being unraveled and defeated.

I am planing to polish and refine this as much as i can today. I will be fixing the edges and values as the main priority.

This is my process so far from my original thumbnail.
