Hey there bud, so yea, I'll try to critique this as good as I can.

First of all, the portrait is nicely done, the framing is interesting and the colors work nicely together.

I do really like this piece, but there are a couple of thing that bother me.
First of all, I think a bit more attention to her outfit would help the piece a lot. You have the values down, but I can't quite figure out what exactly is going on at her shoulder and neck. It almost looks like the neck sits on top of the fabric.
Showing some more of her collar bone may solve this problem.

second of all, this is a minor thing and can be considered as a personal preference, but I think some more orange glow on the hair and the forehead/nose will be beneficial to the portrait. that as well as some more blue light from below
(which you already did, but I feel like it would touch her lips as well if it reaches the nose) and also some blue highlights in the eyes would make them look more wet.

And the last thing that I wanted to point out is that the background's values should be a bit brighter down to make the face (which has darker values) pop a bit more.

I hope this helped you a bit, I actually would like to do a paint-over for you on this one.
Anyway, have a great day!

ps: don't mind my ratings, the system deviantart has is not that great.

thanks man
I kinda left the clothing as they are because of trying to get as much attention as possible on the face and not on the cloth but maybe i should have spent a little more attention to it.
Would appreciate a paintover alot if you dont mind

Hey! This looks really cool! I like the grey skin tones. I also like how it is a bit off centre, it makes the piece more interesting! I feel like you could add more contrast and saturation to the eyes to bring attention from the shiny earrings back to the face. Good job!

great work! The ears look a bit odd (probably me, since there are a lot of ways to draw them).
It could use some more orange in my opinion, not to much but just enough to make it "pop" a bit more.

Perhaps an orange rim-light suggesting a fire behind her(?) (basicly disconnecting her from the background a bit more)
then again, I don't know the setting or the environment she's in XD

Nicely done

i did kinda imagined a mystical forest in the evening with mist and stuff. So it wouldnt really fit probably going with the orange rim light xD

I was already scared that the piece gets kinda fucked up by the strong blues and reds/yellows i threw in there.

But thanks for the advice
