The posture here is so perfect, and the muscles are so realistic!!

Oh yeah ~ This woman is muscular . . . the word is "forearms"! They need to be a little more muscular to support her upper arms. A little more bulgy, defined, you know what ah mean?
I love it!

Daaaaaaaaang hard angle!
LOVE the calf muscle on extended leg
More of an upward curve on other quadricep muscle ~ in squatting position, that muscles would be contracted and bulging.
I agree with comments on the sharp fingernails, maybe a little more rounded and possibly longer, 'twould be 
Chin too round for angle, more prominent cheekbones, on L side of drawing, look in mirror and see how your own cheekbone would smooth down into your chin, would show more of your jawline on the L, and curve up on the R more toward your ear. Shade a little to hint at cheekbones!
Altogether awesome!
Oh, and I DO love her hair! Style of drawing fits nicely with this piece!

I really like this style of picture myself (though I prefer swords to staffs) and this one is better than the other version in your gallery, the proportions and the anatomy are much better. The only suggestion for improvement I can really make is that with such a fantastically dynamic pose (very hard to pull off in my experience so well done!) you might want to give hair a greater sense of movement. It might look a bit better a little more dishevelled than it is......maybe, I'm not certain.

im really fond of this image. only 2 minor things i'd like to say you MIGHT consider thinking about enxt time you draw this type of image...#
1) her fingernails are too spikey. i think a more gentile finger/hand would suit a character like this. Only because it would give her a more tender side to her obvious agressive nature.
2) on her right leg (the one on our left) shes got a bit TOO much muscle on her calf. maybe a litttttle smaller enxt time would be a tiny bit better.
but over all a stunningly well exectued piece. shading i top class. i hope you dont find me comments trivial.

Ok, thank you very much for the feedback, I'll keep that in mind when doing future ones. Looking at it again I agree with you, her finger nails are a bit sharp for the character that she is.

Nice pose. great shading. good clean lines. good work on the hair, that always give me trouble.

Thank you. Yeh I sometimes hate it when it comes to doing the hair, there are so many ways of doing it and it can go horribly wrong so quickly.

I don't think your anatomy is off, and there's no need for exagerration unless that's what you were intending to do in the first place. If this is a finished piece, I'd add either a background, or I'd add shadow below her. It's a good figure, but she seems sort of weightless without her shadow to ground her.
Keep on drawing, I wish I had the grasp of anatomy you do when I was your age. Hmm, not only was that an awkward sentence, but it made me sound old. *sigh*.

I see a lot of things you need improvements on, mostly involving fore-shortening, you have to get a little more of a grasp on the concept, what usually works for me is pushing the mass so that it obviously blocks out or overlaps over certain areas and is most obviously fore-shortening, in other words I exaggerate, I usually also draw the whole entirety of the piece even the pieces that are blocked out by flesh or otherwise would be unseen in simple sketch circles and such so that it really shows and I have a real good grasp and sense of where things truly are. I can tell that you are more skilled in things that run to the side, her leg looks absolutely gorgeous and very realistic, however at every point where she is fore-shortened it appears as though you did not want to be bold with over-lapping various parts of her body to truly bring out a sense of the fact that you knew exactly where everything was, a three d affect. Perhaps if you have someone pose for you that would help?

Thank you very much for the advice, I will take it into consideration for future pieces.

No problem, there are artbooks out there to help you with refferencing for foreshortening. XD! A really good example of what i'm talking about would probably lie in this pic, though it's totally not human it has the same kind of characteristics of the technique, and I remember I used what I was speaking of when I created this piece
Messenger Especially since he's falling back into the background x.X terrible perspective I know, completely off my game that day lol.

Great pose and good shading. I wish I had the human figure down as good as you... I'm slowly gettin' there : )

I think she looks very good. I don't carry any tips on improvements, when I think she looks awsome.
