Wow, this is a great piece of work, now I feel battle ready too ! ^^
Your concept of this drawing was to show a battle ready and dynamic character, I think you depicted you concept clearly and convincingly. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="392" title=" (Smile)"/>
The characters expression convinced me right away when I looked at this picture.
But you made a couple of mistakes with drawing the face. The chin is a little bit too sharp in my opinion, but that isn't the point. The real problem is that you didn't paid attention to the perspective when you drew the nose. The rest of her face was drawn in birds-eye view, but you can see the nostrils and a part from under the nose, which would normally only be seen in worms-eye view. Her eyes are placed wrong, they are too close to each other and a bit too close to the nose.
The body proportions are very well done, they make this image looking really realistic.
Drawing the farther leg less clear is a great method !
The colors you choosed match good together, especially the silver and the violet tones.
The hair looks amazing, I love how you drew those different hair strands in these wonderful red/orange tones *w* You emphasized the strains which are more in the foreground by using lighter tones. In my opinion, the hair you drew in this drawing is the best hair you ever drew, but this is just my opinion.
The skin isn't emphasized that much and you used less contrast, and I think this fits good to the rest of the picture.
Her sleeves were colored smoothly which makes the pastell tones looking even more soft.
The part of the shirt which was drawn with the same pastell tones (the part below the belt) isn't easy to identify, because the round shapes of the shirt at the outer side make the illusion it would be a thick material, but the folds show it's a thin material. I'd recommend you to make the thickness of the cloth more clear.
The yellow belt and the yellow detail on the leathern shirt both look very flat because they include no shadows and highlights :/
The leathern texture of the shirt, th"skirt", the accesoires and the boots looks realistic, except the leather at the breast. Breasts are round "objects", but you drew the shadows there too unhocked, and this makes the breasts looking a bit flat.
The "skirt" looks interesting, but the media line of the toplayer is different than those of the other layers. The top layers' media line points more to the right, you know what I mean ?
Her boots look gorgeous, their glossy coloration make them looking even more elegant. I also love those "glossy" socks. *w*
The material of the knife looks convincingly and can directly be identified as metal.
Wonderful picture, really expressive ! *w*

Great job on the pose, it speaks volumes for the character's attitude and really makes her come alive. Your shading is also well done and greatly defines the character's shape. However, the shading is "sharper" in certain places (the darker parts of the outfit) and lighter in other parts, which is good but it seems to be too sharp. It feels sort of unbalanced, so I can only suggest that you either slightly lighten the darker shadings or darken the lighter shadings (only a suggestion, you're under no obligation to do this). Either way, this is a very striking and well rendered piece.

Thank you so much for the comment! And yes well, since I'm always experimenting with the shading this one is a bit unbalanced in places, especially the lighter materials, I'm still working out on how to shade those.
