I think it's about time I left some feedback for you. If you care for it that is.
First off, excellent use of color. The violet tones contrast and meld well with the use of oranges. I cant tell if you used a lens-flare effect on this because i cant pinpoint the source light, but that means you did this manually, which is hard. The painter-like style you have developed it extremely well done.
The background seems alien (otherworldly) and gives the piece a majestic quality as well as a depth-of-field, which seems particularly well executed.
I love watching your style progress from when I first started watching your art. Awesome work

I only have 2 critiques with this piece in general. It seems the the shadows are a bit too light. some darker shadows would be nice (not sure if SAI has a burn tool or something but a quick swipe of the burn tool set to a large brush size to only darken the shadows would work well here. Also, a slightly darker lineart in some places would be nice too.
Also (and this is completely up to you) the "ashentar" text at the top is a bit distracting. a smaller signature of sorts at one of the corners would be more suited (increases the professionalism). this can be done easily with a tablet (since i know you have one xD)
Other than that, posing, lightingsourcing, color contrast, and anatomy is done very well.

This was all done in SAI.
I think the lineart was in the wrong order, which means that it came out funky, and in this case, it did. The good thing is that I can edit this sort of stuff quickly, since I still have the SAI format. I will edit it sometime later today cuz I know what you mean that some of it does look odd. ;3 Thanks for the critique, it is much appreciated since most critiques I get seem to be very long comments. But this is a true critique, and I must applaud you for this
