Thanks for the great comments, everyone. ^^
Arthur: Yeah, her armpit area does seem a bit... exaggerated. The line on her armpit suggests that she has breasts.. which isn't possible since she's just a child.
Epistaxis: I haven't seen such good crit in such a long time. I can tell that you know what you're talking about. =3 Thanks a lot!
Yeah, her hair is indeed flat I didn't know how to break up her hair into 3D shapes.. I don't know how to shade hair in general (it's really hard...) I need to study hair moar.
TBH, the background was an afterthought. Unlike my other pics, I didn't thumbnail the sketch. I colored flare and thought - "Hey, a background would awesumfy this pic". I drew a massive inferno around her (with the fire closest to her chest), but it made the composition hard to read. As a result, I drew something more "readable" - a massive fireball below flare, which extends its blazing arcs out of its hot shell and into the dark depths of space. That BG accentuated flare more than the original. However, that also messed up the intended light source...
Oh, and I don't draw exclusively in an anime style... I'm more of a multi-styled artist than anything. XD
