Splinterlands Art Contest! - Mushroom Fella

Look here people!
I'm sorry for beckoning on you all to pause lol, I mean notice me for a second would you? I promise not to take much of your time.
So the thing is, last week I came across tons of lovely arts from fellow Hive users, I drooled over a few, studied a few and finally summed up courage to step into the comment section to ask one of those artists about the arts they were busy sharing and submitting their entries.
He or she gave me a few guidelines and explained to me just what it was about and also shared a link to where I could read more about it.
Definitely I did my research and in the course of that research I stumbled over even more participation of artists for the art contest that is ongoing on Hive.
I learned it's done weekly so I was patiently waiting for the previous week to be over so I could join in this week's challenge.

I am not very sure how this is done, but I made my first entry with this mushroom little fella, I learned that there are Splinterlands cards where you get to choose which card you want to either replicate or use as an inspiration for your entry.
I don't know exactly what this card is called, I only found it on a user's page and decided to download and use it as a guide for my own sketch work. I learned it's also one of Splinterlands numerous cards. So please pardon me if I am doing this wrongly.
I got my other inspirations from self-generated piece, with the help of my AI tools though using the Splinterlands card as my painting guide.
I do hope this is allowed and accepted
I've shared a few steps of my sketch and painting process.
Let me have your thoughts on this and if there is any criticism, I also welcome that, it will keep me in check and help me improve and grow as well, thank you!

Please accept my entry for the Splinterlands Art Contest Week 343
