To tell you the truth, the moment I arrived on this webpage, the first thing that caught my eye was your background. It was too bright - maybe because it's a neon pink - and draws attention away from her. I can see the effect that you're going for, but maybe tone the brightness down a little so there's more focus on Mikoto herself? Then it'd be a great addition to the picture, instead of a distraction.

I really love the detail that you did to her hair, though. It's so detailed, but it still manages to show the tones, although they could be more visible. The hairstyle that you designed is gorgeous as well, fitting into the entire picture without drawing attention away from other details upon first sight.

The blending on the skin is very well done, but I think that the shadows are just a shade too dark. I love the pattern that you used for her outfit, as well as the gradient for her fans. The... what do you call it? The 'wind' that comes with the fans when she waves it is subtle yet noticeable; another job well done. It's quite difficult to pull off, from what I think.

Her hands looks weird, though. I'm not good with anatomy myself, but I think that the abscence of her thumb while holding onto the fan makes it look strange. Add two thumbs, and it'll be perfect!

Oh, one more thing before I finish. The lighting is really weird. Like what `phoenixleo said, I cannot tell where your light source is. When I look at her face, it seems as though the light is coming from the front, but when I look at her hands, it looks like it's coming from the side. It's very confusing.

Have I been too harsh? I apologise if I have, but I think this is a piece that's very well done.

You've definitely used some lovely technique to help bring depth and a 3-D quality to this picture. The colors flow together very well and you seem to have a good grasp on anatomy, which is difficult to get the hang of.

Though, I feel the background may be a bit "busy" which makes it a little harder for the viewer to focus well on the main subject. It's just a little distracting, though it's done very nicely.

The subtle hints of texture on the fan and clothing really help to bring this piece to life and give it a more realistic quality. You have a great eye for detail and the hard work you put into this really shows!
