FFFF this took forever, but it came out just how I wanted it too. This is my character Aiko some of you might remember here from this picture:

Ahhh, so much improvement since then, not to mention I re-vamped her entire outfit. xD Anyway, I kinda combined the coloring style in my See no Evil picture with my usual style and this came out. Comment and critiques are welcomed and appreciated.
Enjoy.

Really good. I said most of what I thought of this pic during skype when you sent me like, 50 billion halfway done Aiko's. I think you could have gotten away with a red scarf if you really wanted to. Awesome job~

Nicely done! Your art has noticeably changed, and in such a short amount of time I'm amazed.
Nice outfit revamp, also.
One thing that bothers me is the index finger, it's got a sort of unnatural bend in it.

I like it. :3 Oh. >A>! Bellybutton's flipped. Flip horizontal. D:! I like the periwinkle you used as reflective light. :3 Do you cell-shade and then blur? I'm not sure, but something happened that tends to happen with cell-shade things. Be careful with that, sometimes things look a little flat 'cause you only really have a couple tones. (I use, like, three to twenty-something colors sometimes when I'm really really coloring- which doesn't happen much. xD;; ) And careful with the hair- you did what I did on Furcifer Backlight. >->!! You need to be careful and imagine the hair not only as a bunch of shaded clumps, but as one big form. It's basically going to have a spherical shape to it like the rest of the head. (Make the hair in the back darker, the hair in the front lighter and shiny-er, and maybe make the top of the head lighter than the bottom or the bottom lighter than the top. That's basically how you fix it. You can do that on another layer.
) And maybe darken the inner parts of the ears, too. They're really similar in tone with the rims of the ears right now and that makes it seem like they aren't indented very far. I like the texture on the belt-ish thing. :3 And Kai's right, you could have done a red scarf. Maybe a darker, dull red. Good work. :3! *Saves to computer.*

Yay! I love receiving new artwork in mah updates. ^-^ Let's see.... As per usualy, I love seeing all of the colors you selected and put together, they go very nicely. I noticed that lot of people were suggesting a red scarf of different shades
I think the light blue one is nice and that red would probabl;y kind of pop out to much, but maybe a brown color with some red tints would work? I'd like to see how experimentation with that would work out, so it would bring out here eye and jewel. I think that Aiko's belly button looks a bit off, perhaps it was outlined too thickly? I'm not sure, but I think that the line thickness should match other lines better, could be somethign else though. I really love the texture of the armor plates and I love the detail in her ears. :3 I few things I noticed were that I feel that in comparison with everything else, the goggles didn't seem to have enough depth or presence; they were hard to notice or appreciate. I also noticed that he resting hand is kind of in limbo: i would like to have it closer to her side so that her thumb would go around her body, or have it where it is with the thumb resting. Otherwise, it is in the uncomfortable position of being squished against her body, which is a bit unnatural. Last thing, is that I'd love if she had more strands of hair, instead of following the the common formula of the one chunky strand going across he face. Cause that's just not possible 
. But that cold also affect the stylized feel you were going for. Well, I've been ranting too long!! Great job!

Whoa. Everyone got to the whole critique thing before me </3 xD Hrm. I think you could've gotten a little skinnier and it'd make this picture even more attractive. Especially in the right arm it would have been nice to see more curvage....like muscle and then a more defined wrist. But, honestly, the coloring and the glowness and the anatomy and the textures...the face structure...the ears,nose....even the little button jewel thing below her belly button is pretty awesome! The hair is getting just a bit too chunky for my likes, like Mel said...The background is lacking, but definitely sufficient! Love the improvment; keep it up C:
