Ooooh this is so pretty. I love the kimono. As for suggestions... The warm colors up top look a little murky and out of place. Maybe try some different shades, or make it all cool-colored? I absolutely love how the purples, blues and pinks go together at the bottom, so yeah. If you think she's "popping" too much from the background, add some purple-y tones to the skin, hair, fur, etc. to make the lighting on her more ambient. I also think you should keep the line art on the character like you did with the skin, or at least define the edges some more with a dark shade.
Oh, the shading on the hair seems a little too grey and warm. Maybe try some more silver-y and/or cool tones?
Hopefully some of that helps. I'm not actually working on this so my suggestions may end up being awkward and falling flat... But it's worth a shot. xD

hey, thanks so much ^^ haha i actually think the problem is that the kimono is too busy and its becoming a distraction almost :s i wanted to keep the red parasol (i had this weird sort of red parasol=sun in the night sky concept) so right now i'm trying a orangy kimono on her without the patterns. i dunno, it gives a different feeling...but i sort of like the cool-tone oriented look too.
ahhh decisions decisions == maybe i'll upload the orange kimono one on here too...
anyways, thanks so much for all the feedback!! i'll definitely take them into consideration

Yeah, I like the red parasol too, I actually like how it stands out. A simpler kimono could work well, I'd say try a few different colors and see if that works better. If you post it I'd love to see, I'm curious how it looks!

I think with the kimono you may want to try more warm colors and maybe bring down the red. As it is, the parasol "pops" too much.
