Draw this again: Violet Swordswoman

Hi everyone! He's another redraw for 2021 Draw this Again art challenge that I'm doing. This was a bit of a challenge timewise. I initially intended to redo this piece in the Vanillaware artstyle I was trying so hard to emulate in the past.

However, try as I might, I couldn't get the rendering to look right and eventually I tried something closer to the artstyle I'm studying presently; One that taps into the early Nickelodeon cartoons of my teens, whilst also letting me explore the aesthetics of RPGs I grew up with as well. It's not quite there yet, but after working on this piece for a few days, I'm satisfied with the progress made thus far.

The next piece on the list is another character design, so I'll try to redo it in the same style to further push the techniques I learned here.
