Love her Outfit! The first thing I would do is check her anatomy, her left arm looks out of place. Something simple but important, you have her hair blowing to the right but the steam around her is still.
I would create a grey scale image above the color and work out the values, there needs to be some contrast between the background and her (lightest light against darkest dark). You can easily create a flattened layer you then can make grey scale by creating a new layer above the other layers then hold down the option key while you merge the visible layers, this will create a layer you then can make grey scale.
Accumulate allot of reference, the gun, belts, hair, anything with gears like watches and clocks. Steam punk takes what we know and turns it on its head, we still need to know what the object is in the background. The background can help tell her story.
I would love to see more.
