I first started this about a year ago just as a portait and eventually gave her a body but then just recently I started working on her again to make her look sexier. I started out with some extra shading and then gave her a different pose. I got few pointers on the face so now it looks better.

I've been having trouble with her hand and her legs look a little too fat...

ATM, she looks cuter than she does hot. I think it's the eyes...Hot chicks have those thin, shadowy eyes, whereas cute chicks have those big, puppylike, childish eyes. Also, the lips could be plumper and shinier. I like the yellow hilights and it's a great improvement from the original.
-
Make eyes narrower or smaller. Yes, I agree. I like the way you shaded at the shoulders. Nice work. Keep updating her.
-
Bigger specular on the eyes (shine), add eye lashes, and give her some lips and a smile...

Ah, she is much sexier :). The pose is good, and the shading so far is pretty cool (I do like that yellow instead of just a lighter tan color). The thing that sticks out to me though is that her limbs seem a little short. it could be that I've been jaded by anime or something, but I think her outstretched arm and legs could be lengthened some more. Also, maybe her elbow on the bent arm is a bit too thick? I wouldn't mind doing an edit, though I'm not sure how helpful it would be ...
-
yeah, anyone feel free to help out if you want to. ;)
-
her left arm seems pretty bulky. I think it needs to be thinner with less emphasis on the deltoid.
-
nice work, its come a long way, but still has a ways too go ;)
this will certainly be your best pixel art when its done :)
-
Her ankles and wrists need to be thinned out, limbs lengthened slightly. Check those collarbones and the far arm by looking at yourself in a mirror, I think there's something weird with them both. That shadow under the spandex shirt is a bit weird. The hair could use some highlights for a silkier appearance.
The face is well done, but since it's rather anime looking it's a bit more "aww, kawaii!" than sultry to me. Also, I would keep in mind that more skin showing != more sex appeal. You can do very well if you leave a lot to the imagination or only just hint at something.

I hope you don't mind edits, 'cause I'm better at them than explaining. This one is mainly based on other people's crits anyway, so I take no credit for the changes:

She still looks a bit cuter than sexy. Maybe because her looks seems soft as compared to like, harder, amybe more... feline for lack of a better word. Sharper eyes, longer limbs, slimmer, sleeker, that kind of thing. "Sexy" to me is a little more, again for lack of a better word, intimidating maybe? Powerful? Heh, riiight...
Anyway, cool stuff. The improvement over the original is completely amazing, so keep it up. It's coming along very nicely.

I personally like the thicker look. I think you're doing an awesome job on the shading so far. Keep it up.
I think big eyes and cuteness can be sexy with the right expression. Maybe you should have her with a less wide-eyed look and something more like her eyes half shut in a sort of glare (but more sexy glare than immunnakillyou glare). XD I look sort of childish in facial appearance so I know the right look to be more sexy but still cute. :P
