Hmm.... interesting. I once again like the departure from your usual big eyes.
One problem I have with the picture is that the neck seems to flow into the face- it doesn't look like she has a chin.
She looks... sad. Or in pain.
Nice background selection.
You have expertise with coloration, but have you ever considered doing light/shadow effects to add more of an illusion of depth to your images? Your perspective is spot-on, but the lack of bodily shadows makes everything seem flat.
If you decide to take my advice, try working by hand with only black, white, and gray so you can't get tonal effects. Charcoal is a very effective material to use for this, though regular graphite pencil will work just fine, as well.
You have serious skill, much more than I do, but I think you're probably capable of adding new dimensions to your images that you haven't (to my knowledge) tried before. Just a suggestion. <p>[---------------------------]
