That's one hell of an improvement.

And speaking of backgrounds, what I usually do is just pick random colors and scribble all over until there's little white left, but somehow I think that's just a littttle unprofessional

• The legs ARE a bit heavy-set, which I've been mostly putting down to her being "athletic", it's all uh.. muscle.. for all the uh, running and jumping.. and stuff.. she does... yeah.. I worked for a long time to try to get them more slender, but without making them too long I haven't been able to do a good job of REALISTICALLY making them more slender yet.... (and I was going for a more realistic body shape than my 2001 version)
• Yes, that foot on the left hand side of the picture IS too flat on the ground, don't know how it worked out that way though, as it was not my intention. I think it happened while I was trying to make the boot look like a boot.
• The hips, specifically on the left of the picture. I think the hip is too low on that side, needs to be up higher by a touch.
• Arm on the left hand side of the picture, maybe needs to be back a touch at the elbow, otherwise is fine
• Arm on the right hand side of the picture -- hand placement is a bit odd, seems like the thumb isn't there, need to fix this. Elbow joint itself is in the right place, but bottom of elbow is a bit too far to the left.
• Neck is too thick, and if I make it thinner, too long.

• Body shape is unrealistic. NOBODY has Boobs, Hips, Waist, Legs or Arms like that!
• Specifically, shoulders are too broad for hips, waist is too thin.
• Legs are too long, shape of leg on left is just dodgy reverse of shape of leg on right. Shape is unrealistic
• Arms have no muscle tone, or any tone at all for that matter
• Hands on sword are backward, would be awkward and uncomfortable to really hold a sword like that
Sword itself sucks, but I knew that back then too, cause I never finished it...
• Eyes do not "curve" around the face -- ie, looks too flat. Nose is too pointed, cheekbone not defined, ear too far back, mouth no more than a line. In general, features too sharp/pointed and flat
Neck is too thick, and if made thinner, too long
• Shoulders are HUGE, shoulder on left too far back and too high
• Too many folds in clothing at waist, or not enough folds elsewhere (I'm leaning though towards too many).
• No feet.
