Hope you are well again, take care of your health - fruit and such! D:
Your leading lady turned out great (already mentioned that somewhere), love the fact that you took your girlfriend as a reference. Who doesn't enjoy being painted as a strong warrior queen <3
As for some critique: For my taste, the blue feathers are a bit to intense. While I am sure that google will find a bird that has feathers like this, in the context of all that meatl, brown and gold it looks like they are synthetic, not real bird's feathers.
I'm having a bit of a hard time with the hanging leather straps (?) below her sword - it's a bit hard to read if that is meant to be ornamentation of the sword, a half-skirt or attached to the leather chestguard...
If I want to start nitpicking, I would mention the hands - especially her right one is a bit brown (compared to the color her neck has in the shadow for example). But other than that, great work Jaik :)
