Hi Bobby, I like this piece, nice colours.
I think you could try being more dramatic with the lighting. Try having more light on the front of her torso and head but at the same time darkening the areas hidden from the orb in her hand e.g. her back and her pony tail. You could also set up a reference photo of yourself in a dark room holding a mystical glowing orb (or a soft table lamp :)). Also check out other artist's work e.g. James Zapata does a great job with lighting figures dramatically in my opinion:

Hope that helps :).
