Hey there~

A quick redline, things were fairly good, so just a few corrections:

- the eyes were abit shonky, the smaller eye needs to be a bit larger/moved upwards

- I don't know what that hand is doing! Sorry! I coudlnt' redline it.

- fixed the legs up; it kinda looked like she was floating/the legs weren't supporting her body, so I made it into more of a standing position.

- shortened the lower body; it was too long in comparison to the top

- lengthened the arm on the left

- made the arm on the right into two segments - it kinda looked like a continuous noodle before, but human arms are in two definite segments

-made the shoulder less jagged

- (optional) changed the jaw structure, this one depends on your style, I guess.

Hope this of some help to you. These are all suggestions, so you don't have to change it~ Especially cause I'm not really too good with anatomy, but I tried~ *w*

I checked your gallery to see if you'd finished it yet, and since I didn't find a finished version I assumed you hadn't, so I gave it a go.

I got a little carried away, as I always do, but don't be offended at how much I changed.

And you don't need to read all the notes... XD;;;

- First, I moved the eyes down, but left the eyebrows where they were.

- I made the eyebrows curve a little more, to have them suit they eyes being lower.

- Since I moved the eyes, the shape of the face needed to change. The cheek has been brought out, and the jaw on the right (her left) moved up.

- Because of this I also changed the mouth a little, having it curve down on the left (her right) a little less.

- I took her fringe out a little (and the rest of the hair), since the head needs to be a little bigger.

- The horns have moved too; the left (her right) has been taken in a little, due to the angle of the head, and the right (her left) I just fiddled with a little, but only for my sake, it's fine as it is.

- Her hand... I didn't quite understand how you'd drawn it, but I guessed she was pushing her glasses up. I've drawn the hand in for you. I also assumed the sleeve was supposed to cover her hand, but with her arm up the cuff would fall, which I've shown by drawing in creases to the sleeve.

- I've fiddled with the collar of the coat.

- The neck has been made smaller, and I've also shown her collar bone.

- Am I right to assume that the shoulder of the coat was supposed to point a little? And 'puff' a little? If I'm right I've changed it so it seems more obvious.

- Breasts have been mooooved up~

- I've curved the front of the coat over her breasts (as I have with the shirt underneath) , to show the shape of them, and also taken them in at the sides, so that they are the right shape.

- I've also shaped the corset differently at the top and bottom so it curves with her body, and I've also done the same with the bottom of the shirt.

- I haven't made the skirt fall naturally, because I think the style calls for it to float a little with her.

- I have made her legs much shorter, so now they are in proportion.

- I curved her pull-ups to go with the shape of the legs, and I've also done the same with the boots.

- I put her other leg behind the other one a little more, because since she is floating, it seems more natural (?????).

- The right arm (her left) has been made shorter. I've also revealed her fingers, to make it more obvious that her sleeves are supposed to be long enough to cover her hands.

- The bottom of the coat has been changed so it appears to all be the same length. I've also put the coat behind her, because I think (personally) her womanly shape should be revealed.

And I just noticed I made the right (her left) arm too short -_-; sorry about that.

I think the issue is the balance. In the original it would be very uncomfortable to have you legs up but still be backright; you'd need your arms back more and speed for this.

I feel as though the characters personality is likely to keep her legs close together rather than in a power stance so in this image I've got one leg almost pointed and one raised (this is so she wont come off as a ballerina) note to keep it all balanced her hips are forward. And if all else fails add a shadow with gap between the subject and the 'horizon' of the shadow.

The arm position is entirely up to you but I think with her arm out more you could show off her long hair a bit more as she plays with it.
