There's a lot here that could be criticized but I've spent too long on this already and I'm not taking it any further.

People are hard to draw, this is very very good!

Overall looks good to me; maybe a tad too dark (but who am I to criticize). :)

Thank you very much. People and animals are the hardest because they have specific shapes and proportions that you have to get right. I'm ok with people because I've been drawing them all my life and took life drawing classes as a teenager but I couldn't draw an animal without reference to save my life.

Thank you Lyle. I might have over-adjusted the levels a bit at the end. Criticism is welcome. If I don't change this one, it'll serve me in future paintings.

Great job! Those wings are really slick... as is that mysterious island in the back. Very good composition and atmosphere! :)

One thing that jumps out at me: Her hair looks a little flat to me (painted on). I think a few shadows underneath would get it to poof out a bit. Her top is better, but I don't think it would lie perfectly flat against her entire chest.

I find hair difficult and this was quite an improvement on previous attempts. Interesting you called Glastonbury Tor a "mysterious Island." Glastonbury is full of mystery and legend and was once an island - reputedly Avalon.
