one_two: Thank you! Most of the work here are personal illustrations, so having a blast is the goal :D Glad you enjoy my work and thanks for your feedback as always!
darktiste: Normally I would have added a bit more texture as suggested, but I wanted her face to appear fairly soft looking, which is why I didn't deepen the shadows as well. Great suggestions however, and I actually incorporated them on the current 'Kitana' image in regards to the skin (was going for a gritty look with the new image, as opposed to the softer look from the previous one).
..............
I finished up the current image and am fairly satisfied with it. The background was tricky and I ended up changing it several times but I think it all worked out for the best. Below is the current preview, if there's something off please feel free to let me know as there is still time to tweak it a bit if necessary. Also posted the steps for those interested as well.
