Mousketeer has blessed us again with another great Night Elf texture; this time we have a Reforged inspired upgrade for the Dryad:

The Good:
This texture is a huge improvement over the original. Not that the original is bad per se but this is an upgrade in almost every way. The skin of the body and face looks so much clearer and crisper and better than the original with added details like the moon on the forehead. You've also managed to change the shape of the face to a degree and the eyes now go from harsh white spheroids to detailed yellow and green ovals changing the look to a substantial degree.
On the body we have a great deer fur texture with even specks and variations in the colouration of the hide. The Hooves also look good.
I am a sucker for TC and we have it in abundance here. And not only do we have TC but it has been done in very inventive and beautiful ways from the arm braces to the wrappings on the legs.
Speaking of the arm braces we have been spoiled with an assymetrical design of Night Elven armour on the left arm and wooden growth on the left which is thematically very appropriate.
We also have the hair and leaves which all look good and are unique with appropriate colours and shading. In particular the leaves look stunning.
Overall this skin side by side looks so much better and more detailed than the original.

Areas for Improvement:
Whilst the detailing is incredible if there's one thing that's slightly lacking is the shading and highlights. They are present within each element but the skin overall looks very flat as there isn't much what I would refer to as "macro" shading over large parts. For example the shoulder and arm brace looks very 2D. Also some of the shadows and highlights could be a bit stronger.

Conclusion:
This skin I think should be a compulsory replacement for the standard dryad as it is an improvement in every way and I didn't realise just how blurry and undetailed the original was until I was writing this review. This looks great, easily approved.
