Description I made a few improvements from the original one. A few of the issues are fixed like the face proportions (she had a huge nose), and messy looking lineart. I also think it looks slightly better without the title.

Hello there !

Colour :
The colours are very nice and I like how you made use of a green light instead of a plain white one as it makes it more interesting. I also like the variation of lines that you can find in the background as it adds variation to the piece and it makes the bottom part more lively.
I personally think that there lacks shape in the background and that there should be a variation of light between the cityscape and the sky. THe sky could be make a dark blue or purple to make it distinct.

Concept :
The concept is really nice and I love the dramatic effect the lighting gives. Is she emitting some sort of energy ? Either way, it's very modern and magical, one of my favourite concepts
There's not much to say but maybe you could try adding some concepts to the sky like a night sky. I would love to see a little more down there too to see where exactly the light is coming from as I am quite unsure but you don't necessarily have to add that but it would make the concept more clear.

Construction :
The lighting is really nice and I love how you applied it. It's not too strong and is the perfect shade. Very nice. I also love how you did the eyes, they're very piercing and those bolts make for a nice effect.
This is more on anatomy (it's the bane of my existence too blegh) but anyway, the head for me is too big and the nose is a bit protruded (though you said you fixed it which explains why it's so so you can choose to ignore my comment for the current situation) Her chest is also too high and small ? The bulge is quite round but the size itself is too small. Also, I can't see the right part of her chest. With the current lighting, there should be a little bit of light reflected on it but there's none in the piece. The tie looks quite unnatural there since it should curve along with the chest but it doesn't really follow that. Now for the green energy things around her, they're a nice touch but they're too small and hard to notice at first. Maybe you couldtry making them bigger and adding a glow to them too. Lastly, the lighting is a bit off for me. Looking at the light from the back, it should come from the lower left part of the picture but the light on the girl is telling me it's coming from her left side completely. I think just removing some of the light from the right (her left) side could help fix the lighting and adding more shadows would help too.

All in all, lovely work. The concept really is nice and I am a personal fan of this. Keep it up

I'm a bit confused about what you are suggesting in terms of 'concepts' specifically with you trying to figure out where the light is coming from. I tried to make it pitch dark because the picture takes place late at night, almost early in the morning. Does it not look like a night sky to you, or are you saying the city landscape blends in with the sky?

As for everything else, thanks for the feedback, I'll take it into consideration. Especially the lighting and body proportions.

Sorry I meant the nightscape blends in too much with the sky. As for the light source, I'm assuming it's the glow coming from the bottom right?

The lightΒ is supposed to come from behind her on her center-left side, or based on the picture, directly behind her and a little bit to the right.

Yeah, what I meant by that is since it's from her back a bit, the light near the front shouldn't be as bright as the light from the back but they seem to have similar intensities. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear the first time.

I come from Project Comment so I am here to give you feedback from my point of view! I am not a professional and you do not have to take heed to my words, I only wish to help you improve.

So, onto the feedback!
The background and lighting is pretty nice (better than what I can do) but the character could use a bit of work, especially in the proportions... I'm not sure, but I do believe the face is too high on his....front side of his head... The ear is a little too small, if you look at your own body (well,I wouldn't know if you have a deformality or something, but lets say you don't and this character probably doesn't either) the top of your ear is at the height of your eyebrow, and the bottom just about reaches your nose.Β 
The character could use more shading, as the light is coming from behind, and I see those..streaks of green. It looks like it may have been intended to be an electric effect, but it's not very clear...
The character's body is a little small compared to their head as well.

I hope I didn't discourage you, I really do believe this is a nice piece (I can't do effective background and lighting Β like that), and beyond my current capabilities, but I hope these critiques will help you improve!

Thanks. I always have trouble with body proportions, especially when the character doesn't directly face the viewer and is instead at an angle. Although I just wanted to clarify, it's a girl. I tried making her look more feminine, but sometimes the eyelashes and earring aren't enough. : P

I'll take what you said into consideration, especially the lighting. I need to do better about that.

Oh, sorry about the gender thing, I should have paid closer attention to your description of the art (I guess the lack of shading on her torso doesn't really make it stand out, so her breasts are not very noticeable. don't misunderstand me, it's not like she needs a giant chest and that we want a lot of focus on them, I'm just saying that maybe the large head grabs more attention than the character as a whole...I hope I don't sound demanding or pushy, I'm sorry if I am, I just sound like it because I suck at explaining things)

This is great, maybe highlight the eyes a little and make the background darker and the dots brighter. This picture gives off an awesome effect. Nice job.
