Wow, firstly this is really gorgeous.
Her personality really comes through with her pose, and her expression. Even, if I didn't know who she was I would know she is a strong and brave character, I really love the way you portrayed her. The background also is a simple yet great contrast drawing attention to her figure.
Something to think about-
Lighting:
The way you have shaded and drawn light don't really correspond. I'm assuming the light source is behind her, yet you have highlighted and shaded both left right up down and centre, the source of light seems to be all over the place. I think if you worked on then the focal point of her would become more obvious, perhaps drawing attention to her face, her hand, and have a larger impact. Here is an example of how lighting can really bring out an image

I also suggest to use the colour opposite the main colour in the wheel, in this case you used yellow, so the colour opposite would be purple, to colour dodge or highlight. It would add a nice contrast to her clothes and her face. The same can be used for undertones, a purple undertone to yellow parts, a yellow undertone, to puple parts, using bright yellow to highligh in the eyes instead of white.
sta.sh/01j3axinsbir This is an example of dull vs not dull by using undertone colours and choosing the colour palette.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CY4h4… this is also a really useful critique imo by sycra, (its half an hour but its worth it to watch the whole thing imo, he also has some other great critiques which one can really learn alot from)
Line art - I suggest to colour it, it will seriously add a really nice effect
Shading:
I feel like using airbrush to shade isnt the best. sometimes the clothes area i get the sense that you don't really know how clothes creases work, rather, just adding creases here and there, and shading here and there, adding a line of highlight. instead of blending out creases fuzzily with airbrush you could draw a simple line or a geometric shape and use blending or watertool to only blend out one side. this will decrease the fuzziness eg. sta.sh/27cj44nqpmj?edit=1
i suggest you to also study creases and folds
Direction:
does the hair really go straight and curve around at the tips like that if she was accelerating in such position? Even if it did, then the rest of the body e.g. the coat should also follow that same line of direction, it should go straight then curve at the end, but the coat flaps out both sides, then the hair should as well.
Anatomy:
Okay, so studying real life poses would help using references from real life, rather than anime. the leg anatomy esp, that boot looks kind of awkward and breast anatomy. The line of centre doesn't really match her figure either.
Overall, at first glance without being nitpicky, it really is a great piece though. I hope this was useful lol.

Honestly, after reading this, I'm surprised you rated it as high as you did. when working on this piece, even I felt like something was missing or off about it. lol You're right! I need to work on pretty much everything. It hurt to hear it but I'm glad you pointed out those flaws that way I can keep this in mind for future art work. thank you for the critique, it really does help. ^^

Haha I'm glad it helped :') It's not that you really need to work on everything, just brush up on some techniques and anatomy. You've got the core of it already. I rated it high because I saw many good points as well, just didn't point them out lol.
A useful tip to judge your own artwork when working on it is to just take a picture of it, and look at your wip through your phone, you'll see all the flaws. Or to work in cycles of three, three separate pieces in three separate days and when you come back to your first piece on the fourth day, you'll notice things to improve you didn't notice before.

Whats really appealing about this piece of art is how well the colors and effects really blend with the background and environment the character is placed in. I really was drawn to in to how well this stood out to the rest, it’s very vibrant and bright which makes it all better.
The great appeal about this piece was how well you were able to capture every detail of the character. From lighting of her hair, to the amount of excessive detail of her outfit that makes her stand out.
Overall, a fantastic piece of art that shows not only the originality of the artwork done here, but the skills of the artist rendition of the character.

Deathbattle cheater.
Yangs durability correctedThis is a follow up to my exploration into Tifas abilities, here I will establish Yangs durability which is what Ben and Chad of Deathbattle! used as the reason to hand the win to Yang.
Its is 80 tons, at least.
Here is why, and that is COMPRESSIVE compared to FLEXURAL strength. Compressive strength is in regard to forces exerted against the top and bottom of the pillar, where the structure is strongest and meant to perform its function. Flexural strength is in regards to forces exerted against its sides, which is 10% the compressive.
In the video provided by Deathbattle! they used the max pressure the mechanical press could exert on an object rather than what the object actually withstood.
The press can exert 3,000,000 pounds of pressure, which when divided into tons (2,000 per ton) that equals out to 1,500 tons, however the pillar broke at 1,600,000 pounds, which equals 800 tons.
At 10% that equals 80 tons total.
Now I'm not making up the 10% fact, here is the page that provided it,
