Digital painting of a forest elf

Hello everyone, i made a new digital portrait painting today, this is a portrait painting of a elf type looking person who is surrounded with green color.
so clearly he is related to the forest.
although its a bit unclear whether its a man or a women. it was originally supossed to be a man but then while drawing i brought in a lot of feminine qualities.
those ears like wings but also look likes leaves. So thats a nice touch.
i still think i should have drawn them more like wings, should have made them more lighter colors, like something you can see through, wings should look like that.

here are some process shots:
