She kind reminds me Nikki from Pandemonium II . It's an awesome work! Full of little details

Hello, I'm from ICT here with the word dramatic

First Impressions
While there were a few dramatic pieces in your gallery, this one kept calling to me so I decided that I absolutely needed to comment on this one. 

The Good
I love the colours, you added a lot of contrast.
You have a nice expression on her face.
Her stance is great. 
You have a beautiful amount of detail in this picture. 
The fire is AWESOME!

What needs a little TLC
The arm holding the the lantern seems a little out of proportion. Take a look at some of the free lessons here he does a really good job at explaining proportions. 
Your lighting is a little off. It looks like you have light coming from above her you also have a fire on the book that doesn't appear to be throwing light and the lantern would throw much different shadows. When I add highlights I always start with one light source at a time and judge based on height and position of the light source. 
Watch your details. The amount of details in some areas (boots, floor, necklace) vs the lack of details in others (gloves, shirt, book) gives the piece a bit of an unfinished feel. With fabrics they very rarely fit perfectly and so you need to add creases and wrinkles. 

Closing remarks
I think you have a really strong piece here and I really like it. Great job! 

Your mission, should you accept, is to go into sciencevsart 's gallery and find something that depicts family

Hello from  this is comment tag, the word was "Soft" I chose this piece because you use soft shading. 

So, first off, I'm super impressed, this is really nice. After having looked at your gallery in depth for the last time I commented, I think I can say you have some definite improvement going on here.

This piece shows that you have a lot of promise and worked really hard, so I'm going to go all out with my comment today.
 
One thing I think has needed work in your digital art over all is tightening and refining your blending so that forms look cleaner and more sold, and you definitely got a lot better at that here. Especially around the middle of the piece where it really looks like you took the time to it make nice and smooth.  I noticed on the arms you have lines where you separate sections that are too similar in value and color to clearly define your forms. I think your should either commit to having lines throughout the piece, or to blend out those lines and define those forms with a change in value. Similarly to what you did with the neck and chin. 

Two more things I think need work are your lips and hair. For the lips I don't have much else to say but study lips and mouths and practice practice practice. (I'm gonna leave you with a few resources that will help you with that at the end of the comment.) As for the hair, same, study hair and practice. Really think about how hair moves and flows. The bangs around the face have a nice wind swept feeling that adds to energy and motion in the piece, but the pony tail in the back needs some work, it feels unnatural like its not moving with the rest of the piece.  Also I think the little individual hairs that stick out are a nice touch, but a little over done and over emphasized here. So maybe have fewer of those and make the color closer to the hair that surrounds it.  

I wanna say here, I really love the pose. Great work experimenting with that extreme angle. 

Ok, I'm takeing quite a long time with this and I gotta go soon, so I'm going to bullet point some things, and wrap this up real quick. 

 -The photorealistic fire is a little jarring and off putting, and you ended up with some weird discolored pixels. I would say leave that out. It's not working in this piece.

 -You need to think about lighting and light source, you have a lot of things in this piece that are emitting light and none of them are really working.

 -The watermark, I'm all for those, some people might tell you to get rid of them completely, I say keep it, but here it's a little too big.

 -The hand, you have three fingers. Its pretty bad. With that last point I want to go on to some advice. In this piece, and a lot of the recent works in your gallery you have a whole lot going on. I think it divides your attention and you end up with parts that look really nice, and parts that have been worked on and refined far less, bringing down the overall quality of the piece. I think moving forward you should take some time to simplify, maybe go back to busts for a while, and give your full time and attention to the whole piece. Work on a piece with just the character, or just objects or just a background/environment. Then work back up too a piece like this, after you know how to paint a book well on its own, a lamp on its own, hair, and so on, so the whole piece is near the same level.

If it sounds like I'm being a little tough on you, I totally am, but it's because you did REALLY WELL, on this piece and you have HUGE potential, so you deserve some hardcore feedback.

If you're really serious about taking your work as far as it can go and beyond, I would recommend taking a long hard look at the fundamentals.  Here are some youtube channels that may be able to help with this:  

This first one has a lot of in depth videos on anatomy, talking about the forms and muscles and skeletal structures, including a video on lips.

This guy has a lot videos focused on how to paint this and that, hands, feet, breasts and such, and his medium of choice is digital.

This guy talks about objects materials and textures.

Lastly this guy and all of these artist really will tell you some useful things about workflow, technique, perspective, lighting, textures and so on.

This is AWESOME! Also, the title reminds me of Schoolhouse Rock.
