Cute drawing - really different to your usual style too, I noticed. Dazz looks somewhat .. bulkier and warrior like in this style. Probably about the characters you'd see if you were rushing a medieval fortress hundred years ago? It's definitely an interesting approach to how characters could look like, because truth be told, warriors would actually look quite different (based on the training they'd receive, and all that jazz) to mages or priests.

I like the texture you put on Dazz with all those little scribbles - it looks good, breaks up the gradient-like shading and makes her look a lot more fuzzy and furry than it would usually have. One thing you could try in future - especially because it doesn't take much time at all - is giving a bit of depth to all the gadgets, such as the anklet (which, in fact, you drew, even though you gave me credit). This could be as simple as adjusting the outline to suggest the thickness of the ring she's wearing, like I did here: [link] - even though I had to post-edit it, it took me a minute at most, so if you do it while drawing, it'll likely take you yet shorter.

Another thing you can try and see if benefits your style is shading in a complementary colour (like I did in [link] ), which for green would be a dark purple. I'm not at all versed with the theoretical background behind it, but simply shading with a less brighter green, or painting with a transparent black brush (which essentially would result in the same thing) reduces all colour components equally which I imagine leading to less contrast and less colour variety than shading with the complementary colour (which reduces the dominant colour component much more than the others) would.

Speaking of colours, you have a lot of different colours in your drawing, which looks great - from the green fur on your character, over the blue snowscrub, to the reds and yellows and browns. The snowscrub has a small circle in the interior of its outline, which looks a little strange to me (especially since I don't know what it is, to me, personally, it looks like a reminiscent from the sketching stage that wasn't erased), but overall you certainly did an excellent job on this little picture. Keep it up!
