'Intellectual Stimulation'

I figured I'd write up another critique, and I think this is a good opportunity to do so, if you're fine with it.

Okay, first, I love your style; everything's so pretty! But of course, it'd be a disservice if I gushed about that this whole time XD

First of all, the lighting. I see some beams of light coming down from the trees, but the top of her head is in shadows. Perhaps its the orientation of the light, but still, it looks a little weird o: Also, I'd expect to see more shadows under her roots, but maybe I'm wrong <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="" title="Sweating a little..."/>

Aaaalso, the perspective. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but the dryad and the trees seem to be oriented differently. The trees look straight-up, but the dryad is like semi-birdseyeish, whatever it's called XD

I do like the idea of this, though :3 (glasses are sexy >__> ) I'd say a glasses-wearing dryad reading a book is pretty original XD

Overall, it's a lovely picture. I enjoy seeing things like this from you ^^

...OH YEAH, I'm sure this was a personal pref, but her trunk looks kind of flimsy. Maybe it's the character, but to me, it's different from what I expect <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="" title="Sweating a little..."/> Doesn't really hurt the picture, though, but just bringing it up :3
