I am still a beginner when it comes to digital art, so you may want to take my comments with a grain of salt (or what you call it in English ;) I think that the dress is the weakest part. Frequently using oil colors i spontaneously believe that the surface, the texture of the dress could be roughened a bit (quite a lot, actually). I would have constructed a certain texture for the dress (in the "Filters" section), instead of starting with one color. And the folds look too straight and even to me. (Ok, you already knew that.) I wouldn't mind adding a more dramatic shadow; perhaps giving a quite heavy shadow to one side of the character. Finally, I'd add a darker background, or a background with an uneven structure. Hopefully the artificial and watery look would not be there after those adjustments. .. .. .. Oh well, it is easy to talk the talk without having to walk the walk. I am just a beginner.
