Trying to work on getting poses and expressions to match up, also working on making my poses more interesting. All HELPFUL feedback welcome! (Try not to just say you like it, mention anything that seems even slightly off. I will look into a fix, even if it was done on purpose.)

I'd just say the pose seems a bit awkward. The legs are facing more to the left, the butt and back are a bit more like a front view/turned the other way, then the upper body is turned to the left like the legs (turning more-so). The butt/back seems like it's working against the rest of the pose, I think. I'd try to have them appear more as the middlegrounds. Her spine seems like it should be very close (or even connected) to the outline of her back, I think.

I think I follow. I'll try to tweak it a bit.

I altered the picture, is that what you meant?

The legs seem to be in an awkward angle to me.
While your character's butt is facing the side, the left leg is facing in another direction giving it a flat 2D effect.
Plus the back seems to be twisted in comparison to the rest of the body like Zantetsken said which gives your char. a some-what odd look to it.
Everything else great!

(off-topic)P.s. Your shading is awsome C';

I guess I need a redline, cause I just don't get what you mean about the back I guess.

I don't entirely recall how it looked before, but what I mentioned before doesn't seem to be popping out at me anymore. I'm not sure what to say now, if anything, but your tweaking seems to have worked.

Her butt and the line in her back was more to the left, and I moved them right a little.
