Deviousness `ChewedKandi has certainly gone out of her way to keep the vector community on the right path. Always making sure that her talents are infinitely scalable, Sharon has put her bezier curves to excellent use, and firmly anchored herself as an inspirational leader.

Two things I would suggest in a situation like this in the future would be to have the character's head tilted forward more to show how intent they are on the object of their fascination. Most people tend to read in that position. Also, instead of drawing both knees in the air, having one splayed to the side would increase the casual nature of her posture.
I guess since I'm doing a formal critique, I ought to explain why I gave the ratings I did.
On "vision," I gave four and a half stars because the setting, content, mood, and atmosphere are excellent, but I didn't give it a perfect score because, as discussed earlier, you can do better on the human element.
On originality, I gave four stars. Most of that is carried entirely by the fact that you created Felarya. The subject matter in this particular picture, however, is a pretty standard "Nerd character reading books" scenario. Props for not giving her glasses, though.
Technique I gave a five out of five because you're still leaps and bounds ahead of me and I don't think I'm qualified to comment on this much. I see a couple things I can mention, like the shading technique looking flat, but I can't be certain that's unintentional, especially since you've expressed interest in a painting style in the past, which tends to lend itself to flatness in favor of creating mood. So if we're going to downgrade this score, you're going to have to do it yourself.
Impact I also gave four and half stars because the world is very clear here. The magical effects on the books' text and the floating book at her side really stand out to mark this as "fantasy," even if the fairy herself isn't distinguishing herself as particularly fairylike. Likewise, the surrounding area really pops out as a hollow in a tree or a cave or something, again immersing the viewer in the world you've created.
So yeah. Overall, a fine job. I hope I gave you a couple things you can think about and focus on in future creations.
