Nice work, Lady. The anatomy and pose of your character look right on. She is balanced, proportioned correctly and carries her weapons very naturally. Moreover, she very much looks the part of a tall, strong, confident lady ranger/ soldier. I love the basket hilt on the sword as well.
There are only 2 crit points I have with this and they are very minor.
Generally a bow is held in a manner that the string would be on this side(closer to us) of her forearm. That, and I find the green background a little distracting as it doesn't really match anything else in the picture. I would volunteer that a grey or light blue background might be a little more complimentary. -Just my 2 cents.
In all, its a great fantasy character painting, well done. I'm curious, do you name your characters and mentally create back stories when you draw them? Because they look very well thought out and have a more developed feel to them.

Thank you for the advice and I fully agree with you. I'll see that it's fixed. The characters do have some history when I paint them and it's great that the viewer is able to see it. I don't know all of the background information of them, but they're not spontaneous art works.

Thank you. More contrast would definitely add to the effect of my paintings.
