I like what you did with Criss and the rapid movement of the wings. Your foot shape is really good, except the right (the right side as we can see her) knee area is a little too narrow. I like how you did the highlights on the hair. However, the *ahem* breasts look like you just used a sphere tool and blended it in. Also, they're pretty over-sized to me. I know that a lot of artists like to sexy it up, but I'm just talking about proportions. Mostly fat chicks have big breasts. Try making them a little smaller and less pronounced. Less pronounced, as in: don't give the left one so much shading, and don't give the right one so much lighting. As for the shading and lighting in general, I think you may have it too much on each spectrum. For me, the airbrush tool helps make it less sharp. Sharp shading and lighting is fine for hair. Your background looks really awesome, though! I like what you did with the perspective shaping of the ground tiles, the texture for the mortar and wood, and the addition of a gutter underneath the roof. I also like how you did the inseam for the tights and defined the ankle with the boots. I see that you removed the thing that was originally around her waist (which I kinda hated but never told you), but now her outfit looks too simple for a princess, excluding the boots. All in all, great piece!

Thanks for the critics ^^
I've always had some troubles drawing the female body, I still need to practice it more
I tried to do a leather effect for the pants, but I think I still do it very bad xD
The thing here is that she is kind of training, so she isn't using her normal outfit xD The important thing about the story is that it isn't like the normal cartoons or animes where the characters have the same clothes all the time, eventually I'll think on more clothes for her to use, like a formal outfit, a battle outfit, etc. To make the story a little bit more realistic ^^

Here's a challenge, try a different approach on shading then you normally do.

hahaha yeah, normally I like to shade with the light comming from the upper left corner xD with some exceptions but sure!

Any idea of what to do? to make it a really challenge, not only an advice ^^
