I know you're adding effects and what not, but the bg to me feels really unfinished (whether that's intentional or not) but it looks kinda strange when faced with a really fleshed out and finished character, and I know it's too late to point this out as well but she seems to be on a different plane to the trees themselves, like in a different perspective.
Either way, good work so far and I hope you can finish it before the deadline
