<3 this looks awesome.
Only thing (doesn't really need fixing but maybe think about it in the next illustration) is I can't really tell what she is doing with the envelope. At the moment it looks as though she is just resting her fingers on it. If that is the case, then it doesn't really serve the story of the image and is just a superfluous detail that may confuse viewers (or at least stupid ones that read too much into things like me)
She may be pushing it forward, or pulling it back, which would make sense. I always saw Thelma as someone who does shady deals. Saving Hyrule, pfft, she probably runs a brothel or a 'security' service.
Anyway.. If that's the case, exaggerate the action by another 20%, which is a good rule I learnt from I think Dan (though I struggle to apply it sometimes)
On the other hand you could go something like this http://www.linktv.org/sitecontent/press/...ter_th.jpg except still in her pose
Get some foreshortening all up in thur and have it like someone just bought information off her (also plausible given the character) and she is nonchalantly handing over the envelope.
Sorry if this comes across as a little pretentious.. I worry offering advice to people better than me.. Take it or leave it, it could be all wrong :D
Awesome painting nonetheless :D
