This is mainly a color edit, but I also picked at the face.



Remember that skin looks best when it is more saturated in the middle colors.

Also, do you have a reference pic you're using? If so you should post it.

Edit: After seeing the reference I played with my edit a bit more. In the third one I tried to get more into those crazy shadows in the photo to mixed results. I also looked into the show she is from... seems pretty interesting.

This is nice, I like it. The chest area (yep i mean the tits) are looking a bit weird... and the smile is verging on deranged....

good job so far though

Edited the hair, and added some more details to the face, mainly the ear.
...thinking about calling this done soon?

You should really listen to NaCl about the colors.

It has a sort of flat look. You have a lot of colors there but you don't make much use of them for some reason.

I did a light study of the reference just for fun, maybe it will help.

I suggest tweaking the area around the mouth -- you've defined the muscles around the upper lip (and the lips themselves) too much, leading to a forced kind of expression from the mouth. Maybe drop that line on the right corner of the mouth (our right) seeing as it only gives her the 'chubby cheeks' look, and work on that small area of lights on the left side of the mouth. The bottom lip's value and hue is very close to the skin tone surrounding it, leading to them blending into one another. Maybe either put a lighter skin tone around the lips or work on the lips' color.
For a more natural smile, cover up the bottom layer of teeth with lip.

Other than that, this piece looks promising. :)

Yet another update, reworked the shading thanks to EvilEye's post.
