A good first submission. Her face has character and the base is simple but appropriate.
Now for the ripping-to-shreds

: I think you could have used a few more colours, as she is quite drab for a pirate. Fictional pirates at least tend to be quite colorful and flamboyant. Also, your paint is laid on quite thick, notice the obvious \"texture\" on the thighs and coat? That\'s a sign that you need to thin your paints and apply more thin layers to get the same coverage. I also think making her hands gloves the same colour as her coat was a mistake - it just looks wrong somehow, probably relating to my first point.
