I really, really like the flaming red hair, it's so beautiful, and the glowing tattoos. It's a very cool and intriguing design, and I like how subtle the glow is, it doesn't try to overwhelm the rest of the painting. The smoky flames in the background are a nice touch, considering the theme of the painting.
However, there are some areas that could be improved:
1. Her skin - It looks very, very airbrushed. It's too mooth to be "real" and looks almost like plastic. Maybe add some rougher brush strokes, or use a dottet brush to add a hint of skin pores?
2. Skin tones - there's not alot of variation in the skin tones, which makes it look a little flat. Try adding a hint of yellow over the eyes, some blue under the eyes and red/pink on the nose and cheeks, as well as the knuckles.
3. Shadows and contrast - The whole image is a bit monochromatic. A whole lot of red and not much in the way of contrasting colours. Maybe add some green to the painting somewhere? Also, the light seems to be yellow, so the shadows would look cool with some blue in them.
4. Her eye - I would like to see some more detail in it, and maybe some more colour variation?

Amazing! It's beautiful! The colors of her hair are much better than the actual pictures. Though there's a weird emotion of fear in the picture which your pic lacks. I dunno. But still, totally amazing.
