I liked the second one the best; the dress and the colors were the deciding factors. And even though the third one also had a dress like that, I didn't find the wooden body attractive.

Image 1 really has something eerie about it. For me, it leans heavily into the "uncanny valley" territory 😅 If that’s the intended effect, then it’s absolutely brilliant 😁

Doing well, yes, but also extremely busy. Today was my last day at work (yay!), so this week was extra busy.

Three is the closest one to what I intended to create. Hope y'all are doing well.
JustAsh
It's reasonably close to what I wanted but doesn't quite have the "mystical" effect I wanted.

All lovely. 3 my favourite mainly because I like her eyes best

This one deserves it's own movie!

They blend in so well!
JustAsh
Oh two is easily the prettiest form. But three is what I was really going for A Druid Goddess that actually looks like a living tree. But totally get your preference for 2

I'm glad y'all are doing well. Change is usually quite frightening to me on such a large scale. Y'all sound like you have things well in hand.
