No no, sound as harsh as you please, it helps :D
Here's my explanation for the light direction, I drew the lineart planning for light coming from the right then came up with the circle behind her (well, really what I added was everything around the circle to work as a framing element) It was just a graphic design choice that was reminiscent of the sun, which works thematically with the character, but it's not actually supposed to be the sun.
Confusing, I know. Midway through this I realized how weird it is to be painting a character with a background that isn't actually what the environment looks like.
i don't think it broke the piece, but I probably won't do something like that again.
