@Snevilly - I love the colors and the spots of cooler colors among the reds and oranges, and I think the rich textures in the background and robe really add to it and create interest without being overpowering.
The attention to detail in the hair is awesome, and I really like those flowers. The only critique I have, really is the hand. I know it's meant to be chibi, but it looks a little off compared to the rest of the drawing and studying it for a moment, I think it might be because the lines of the fingers don't quite flow with the lines of the fist. But that's kind of nitpicking - overall, I like it.

Just finished inking this. I'll probably be coloring it, but I'd like some crit on the line art. Feel free to be harsh. :)
