Sorry if there are some mistakes...

There are some proportional problems with the character. Most noticeable is the length of her arms in relation to each other and the rest of the body. Her arms should be long enough so that the hands are at the crotch level. Her left arm/hand (our right) is too and short small compared to the other.
When it comes to doing traditional, it's a good idea to do a light sketch first and then pause and observe it for mistakes. Because once you start shading, you can't go back. If you have problems seeing mistakes, step away from the drawing and come back to it a few days with a fresh mind and eyes. Also, be aware of the anatomy and proportions of the character underneath the clothing because it's often overlooked.
The wings are too stiff and that's probably because they're short in width and the feathers are straight. I'm not a expert on this, but I know wings must be drawn so that they look like they can be used to fly.
I like the expression on the character. Good job with that.

Yeah, in traditional everything is much more visible - especially mistakes...
Thanks. I always forgot to step away after the lineart step and do everything at once. I'd better change that attitude
Thank you for your opinion. Means a lot

Yup...
Can you tell me how you interpret it? Just curious of how others see it

for sure! when i first saw this what my brain told me from past years of heartbreaking scenarios i've seen washed across the screens - i couldn't help but imagine that becuase she's different, she tried making herself less different. maybe it was a captivating moment of herself imagining her body with no wings? So she Β tried to cut them off

Wow, brutal... But very interesting thoughts.
But when I was making it I had a bit different idea.
I wanted to show an angel who commited a crime [murder in this case] and was punished by God [the light from the upper-left corner]. The penalty is banishment from heaven - that's why some feathers are already falling from her wings and her clothes are already torn appart and has some blood on it. But in the end she understood what she did but it was already too late.
But you can also see it completely reversed. An angel who commited a crime of murder is begging the God for mercy and He gives her a second chance.
That's why I asked you. Thanks for replying

Ah! That makes perfect sense too! Like i mentioned, basically just based on my first reaction because of previous interactions from other pictures ive encountered over the years, thats what i jumped to. lol, but i totally see it
