First off, I want to say that even if I say some negative things, overall your picture is very well done. It looks amazing, especially from it originally being an icon.First off, the negatives. To me, the biggest issue with this image is that it doesn't portray the setting very well. Yes, it's a forested area, but where? From the look of it, it could be anywhere from something I could find in my backyard to a rainforest, but unless that's what you were going for, I can't pinpoint the exact setting. There are common looking plants, but also vines and palms too. I recommend if you're doing a plant heavy painting to study what types of plants grow in the specific area you're trying to portray before you start.A smaller issue is the lighting. To me, it seems a little dark in places, like the table for example. I couldn't tell if that was light hitting it or just discoloration in the wood at first. The light source is coming from the top right if I'm correct, but there is no light hitting the foliage at the left of the picture even though there should be. I'd recommend either making it brighter or placing more foliage to block more light.Finally, there is a small issue with detailing. For the most part, this is excused because of the picture's history; i.e it was intended to be an icon originally, but I feel the further away from the character you get, the less detail there is. Now, sometimes this is a good thing, it helps you focus on the focal point, your character, more, but sometimes it can work to your disadvantage, as the viewer is drawn to the less detailed points more because of how they stick out. For example, the vines aren't completely connected in some places, and the back hill consists of very simple brush strokes. Again, I'd recommend you either up the detail in the background or stick to drawing closer objects and block out distant background where it looks good.One last point is that while the color scheme looks good, it doesn't do anything to pop or draw your attention in any way. If you look at it from a distance, you'll see nothing but a mess of green. I can see you were trying to have the yellow on her skirt and the wire be the focal point, but it wasn't obvious enough in my opinion. There's nothing I can really offer you in regards to tips for this issue, though. Coloring is hard, and sometimes you just have to fiddle until it looks right.Now, the positives.The thing that this image excels at, it my opinion, is personality and charm. I love surreal, but still possible scenes, and this is a perfect example. The way that the technology and artificial wood desk are in the middle of the wilderness has a unique sense of wonder to it. I had always wanted to have a spot like this, and I think that it kind of captures the essence of the fun of a secret base: A little spot for you, out in the middle of nowhere.On the technical side of things, while I did criticize the lack of any outstanding elements, overall the colors blend quite nicely. It gives the right atmosphere that she's in the middle of a forest, or where have you. The level of detail on the actual character and setup are amazing too, especially the mic and the potted plant. I also like the small little plant growing onto the table in the corner, it gives the table some age and gives you an idea of how long she's been coming here. Maybe some slight degradation on the table and/or mic would work as well?Overall, it's a very well done picture, if not very attention grabbing. And who knows? Maybe that's a good thing, in this case at least.
