Aw I was too slow to reply to your previous post. I didn't mean that her eyes were bad, only that imagining the image as a comic panel my eyes would be drawn first to her face, then too quickly to the bright green stroke at the top because her eyes are fuzzy. Now that I know she's a mermaid though, and fish eyes can be fuzzy...
Your last version is excellent, I don't think you need to touch anything any more (unless you wanted it to be a standalone illustration that told the whole story).
I like the more angular drapery (on the left) because I find it more fitting to the character's mood as you described it. I also like the texture of the charcoal-like highlights even though I suppose you will make them more silk-like. I also agree with you that using the top lighting is more solid.
