I'm not very good at critiquing, but I'll give it a shot. Ok, starting from the ground up, the background. Simplistic design at its best. Colors that blend with Midna, but make her stand out as the central point of the picture. The subtle pattern in the very back layer is a nice touch of detail. Now, Midna herself. You can tell unquestionably that this is Midna, but you've applied your own touches, especially with the face, and with the cloak. Speaking of the cloak, I like the swirly, ethereal parts, not dark, but not light. Overall, the almost-tarot card style looks fantastic. I hope this is positively received, and that you continue your excellent art!

Aside from that I really love art nouveau I really like how you interpreted her skirts as some swirly shadowy material... it perfectly matches her world.
On the same time, the geometric shapes in the background match the shadow realm architecture. Also I like the Idea of the Mirror, which is the door between the worlds behind her.
While the coulours of Midna herself are given, the background colouring reminds me of the Shadow world sky.
Only critique I can offer is the cartoony style of midna herself... while the colouring itself is great I kind of dislike those exaggerated proportions. I think it makes her look less noble an graceful than she is, but more playful like the ImpMidna was. I believe a more realistic style might have fit better here.This however is my personal opinion and should not slow you in the least. I still really like this piece of Art, otherwise I would not bother to write my very first critique.

I love your style. The lettering of her name even matches the swirles in her form. The colours are so deep and lively and you make my eyes swirl around the composition and not linger on the facial focal point for too long. You can really tell you thought out every line and where everything was to be placed. In her gown the blue, black, and white transition into each other so fluidly that it's like watching the crash of water. And the Mirror symbol halo-ing her is the perfect finish, like Buddhist art. And her tear! Very well done!

Hahaha the nouveau style is fair game! I love it so much because 100 different people can do the style, and they'll all look different. Thank you very much!

c: I think she looks so fantastic! I love all the details you put into this, from the border to Midna's hair. I know it seems like a small detail, but I love the yellow outline around Midna.
