Description
I just felt like drawing a woman predator that was human. She’s not Machiko Noguchi, she’s just a random original character for the predator universe. I got the idea for the wolf head dress from my Gaiaonline avatar. I wanted my avatar to be a predator char, but I didn’t like the plain look from the items, so I added the wolf item and its amazing how much it added. And then I wanted to draw a human predator with a wolf head dress, and I really like how it came out. Though, I’m not too happy with her eyes, they really bug me, but I don’t know how to fix them.Comments?

Edit:
fixed somethings that other people pointed out that needed to be fixed. You can see the original on my tumblr account
Even though I still don't really care for her eyes, I'm just going to chalk it up to that someone is saying something to her and she doesn't like what she's hearing. Maybe an elder is chewing her out.

Was reminded of Machiko a bit, loved the comics about here. Was cool to see the culture that was in the predators.
Nice work!

Since, at the time, she was the only known human to live with the predators. But you never know. I just wanted to draw a human she predator, and I'll probably draw more, maybe some boy one too.

Lots of beautiful details, and the soft pencil shading works well with the overall look of the piece. I especially like her slightly crooked and lumpy nose, for some reason. It really looks like she's been to places, and come out the victor.
The proportions in the full-body shot are a little off, though. Her legs look a little too short for her body. Legs should make up just about half of a human figure's height (or a little more, if you want to make them look more graceful, and don't mind exaggerating a little). And her hands and feet look pretty small, too. Here's a good rule to keep in mind: Human being (or a reasonably similar creature) should be able to cover their entire face using both hands. That means that if they hold their hands in front of their face, heel of the hand at chin level, the fingertis come up to hairline. Feet are just a little bigger than that. A whole hand, that means palm and fingers, will reach from the heel of a foot to the base of the toes.
This might not always be true, there are people with really small hands or really big feet, but it's a starting point.

Thank you. Her crooked nose was intentional, I didn't want her have perfect beautiful. Its too easy to fall into that trap of making a character extremely beautiful, despite everything they've gone through.
Her hands and feet do look a little small, I'll see what I can do about that.

To start off with: this is an amazing character concept; I've always had trouble putting so many little details into a character to suggest that they have lived a life and have a culture and a complicated personality all their own. The fact that the Human skull is the correct size brings me back to reality that she is a hunter, even if she is Human herself, and provides a very disturbing quality to her. One that tells you she doesn't have a problem dispatching 'one of her own'.
You may think the eyes are off but they are proportionate the the face itself; they may look off because of the nose, which I understand to have been broken many times by the look of it but, such is not the case. If you are going for a less stylized cartoon look then I would suggest making the irises larger: a Human's iris usually doesn't have that much white around it.
Her shoulders are off in the portrait but it could be because her neck is twisting/leaning over somehow but it doesn't entirely show through that she is. The uneven shoulders, without more body showing, is a little disturbing because the low shoulder makes her neck look way too long for all the wrong reasons. If both shoulders were that low then it would be stylized long and not out of place(her neck in the full body shot is long but looks very natural).
The wolf headdress is very, very awesome. At first glance I believe it is a wolf but after looking a bit longer I realized the animal looks more like a coyote than a wolf; I looked up pictures to see if I felt correct and I did- a wolf has a much larger and more square nose, the wolf has, I think, smaller ears proportionate to its head(it could be the sleekness of its ears) and a coyote has larger and they're on different locations per the animal itself.
Now for the part I'm sure everyone keeps staring at: the boobs.
Honesty, first glance they look to big and just like all the over sexualized cartoon characters of today. This character, however, has something the others don't: believability. Upon closer inspection, and to my delight, these breasts have the most important thing in the world: support. Because of the support, from below, from the sides to keep them corralled, I can absolutely see a real model with naturally large breasts look like this character.
Overall: excellent design and execution.

Oh, thank you for the detailed critique
I was going to draw some skulls from other creatures, but decided to go with human skulls. I figured that at first, she would hesitant to kill fellow humans, but maybe after coming across the bad humans like gang members, she felt it would be justified.
I think the reason I don't care for them is that they make her look like Mother Gothel . But I'll give her larger irises, it may make her look a little less, chaotic evil. The broken nose is intentional. I wanted her to be attractive, but not flawless, and I know that can be an easy trap to fall into. So scarred up her skin and broke her nose to give her flaws she should have considering her lifestyle.
Yeah, I really shouldn't have ended the necklace where I did. I'll be sure to fix that. It's probably what's throwing the shoulder balance off.
Oh, I really meant for it be a wolf, thank you for letting me know. I like coyotes too, they're pretty cool. But the wolf is the one canine that we, humans, really put on the highest hunter pedestal. So, I'll see about getting that fixed.
Ha! 
Thank you very much

Really cool looking. I especially like the wolf head dress.
The eyes actually look a bit....doe-like to me. Maybe instead of having them round like that, you could make them a bit more oval or almond shaped?

I probably should narrow them down a bit, I've been drawing large for so long, that its seeping into my more realistic style of drawing and it throws it off.

It's not such a bad thing. I've seen people in RL with eyes like that. But, to me, it makes them look like Disney characters. Which isn't really good if you want someone badass.

well, disney eyes could work for badass characters- if done correctly, which is not the case here.

This is true. Compare Mulan to Snow White....yeah. One is badass and the other....no.
