making head on poses dynamic is hard.. i don`t know if you want some critique, but here some tips from a newbie (so don`t take anything as professinal advice ;-) )
i would try to position her swordarm different. if you want dynamic, think of shapes as general - the whole figur could built a triangle, so strecht her swordarm outward.
for the other arm - make it more 3dimensional by not stretching it simply to t he side, but mor forward. don`t be afraid of foreshortening :D
or you could bend the arm at the elbow, so that you do not only have straight lines.
and of course - pose and antipse of hips and shoulders :) even in a straight-on-view they are not completely horizontal. putting a little S-curve into the body - and tadaaa! it looks more dynamic
sorry if I`m rambling, but I love the design of the girl so far, the potential of this piece is really great! :) the color contrast blue-yellow really works really good, and the details in the dress are to die for :)
push it!
