First off, I have to say I really have fallen in love with your fursona design. She is absolutely precious, and the way you personally draw her is so fitting.
First thing I notice about this picture, however, is the fact there are a lot of the same color palette, as far as the pinks and purples. I think it worked to a certain degree, but it could have been mixed with some other hues to make the background 'pop' a bit. It's all very subtle as far as shading and lighting, and again, it worked but could have been done better. Clouds tend to be very reflective, and normally the sun doesn't shine white. ((Your lighting on the clouds seems to be mostly, if not all in white, and very sparse. ^^)) My suggestion is just to look at a sky during the time you'd like to paint it, and just view how the clouds absorb and reflect the light of the sun. It can actually help a LOT.
You titled this picture Sky Dancer, but my main problem with this piece is..she doesn't look like she's dancing. I notice a lot of artists have this problem, and I do too. The pose you do looks just that, posed. Not natural. It takes a bit of practice to soften up your drawings and things like that. In this picture in particular, it looks like she's simply standing on one foot. An immediate fix would be to point her foot downwards a bit more, and let her footpaws hang loose off the ankle, which gives her the look of not being on the ground. I am also a bit confused on her clothing, because of the fact it blends into both the character AND the background. I feel like it had the potential to do so much more. Just something to keep an eye out for.

Such pretty pastel colors. I love how "soft" everything looks. And the clouds look great. Pixl is a beautiful character. Is she some sort of cat?
Lovely pic.

Dreamy colours the pink and purple work nicely together. I'd add a bit of cloud getting caught and dragged on feet, tail and fingers so she looks like she's in motion.

Very nice use of complimentary colors. The anatomy is more human, realistic, and an improvement on previous versions of the character, in my opinion. Did you use a reference for the pose? Great job with the textures and fine details in her symbol designs.

Thanks a bunch!

It would be a good idea to post a link to the reference, if you can; that way you are saying you used a reference, plus the viewer can see how you used the reference.
You're welcome.

Hehe as soon as I get paid I'm going to print a nice 16x20 of this for my art room ^^ Not a kids room but it might as well be for the amount of stuffed animals and cutesy art I have hanging around

All the whispy things are a nice touch. And that hand looks perfect. 
So she normally dances in the clouds?
