Hello there , I am from . I would liek to briefly go overthe good , what can be added, and the overall impression your art leaves me with.
The good:
its a very dynamic piece. The pose and hair blowing uppwards , indicating someone at the start of a fall. The stippling aroudb the head that looks like a forming halo. The dimension the cross was drawn in, it all works together. I love how you did the ribbons. They could be a metaphor for blood or sacrifice , as shown with how tightly they are wound on the chest. Especially in the area of impailment. Then the ribbons flow behind the body , like flowing blood . sometimes imagery of blood and gore works better than drawing the real thing. You have a strong grasp on anatomy , and the individual chain links look heavy , metalic , and thick.
What could be added:
I don't have much to add. Perhaps the pose could be looser ad less stuff, but that may be either subjective or intended. It seems she was stabbed most step and is falling over. Also she seems to be falling back or floating up but whichever what, the hair and chains should follow the body in the opposite direction. Like if one falls down , the hair usually goes up due to following the head.But again , I could be reading the direction wrong. She could just be floating.
Overall:
It is a piece that has a lot of movement and I feel you captired that well for teh most part. It stirs in me feelings of sadness and pain , though i feel there is also more to it that is hard to explain. The feeling is there though. Remorse? Release perhaps? Still. I love your use of medium, the greys , blacks , and whites of the piece make the red of the ribbon show brighter. And I adore the detailing in the hair. Beautiful.

Hii! Thanks for your comment!
Actually I envisioned this as if she is floating, and the ribbons are about to pull her to earth. To be honest I didn't think the chains should go up, although thats the most logical thing xD, in reality I only added them because I felt that there was too much emptiness in the lower part of the piece and to go along with the rest of the drawings in the series.
And with the pose I do agree that it should be a little looser (I need to practice more figure drawing heh) but I also wanted the body to look sharp in contrast with the softer hair so that didn't help with the posing.

No prob.
Oh I see.that makes a lot of sense now. I like the floating aspect and the ribbon holding her down. I can understand adding the chains , they add more meaning as well. Thy are still effective.
Its cool. I could use some figure drawing too. I like the thinking you had with this piece , you are very thoughough when it comes to the angular vs soft aspects.
