Overall, the colors bring good form to the character. However, there are certain technical things that "harm" the image.

First, you need to decide on the final image size for presentation. For example, a 1000 x 900 image is large enough to fit most screens. There is really no reason to upload a 2500 x 3000 image that takes up the whole screen. We don't need to see the details. The important thing for the audience is a good composition and you know that already. If somebody wants to see the details, then you provide them the high resolution image.

Second, your coloring style seems to be mixed and it does not go well together in my opinion. You still have the "illustrator/vector" look with the "painted/raster" look. This is evident in your highlights, which are overly harsh. I think you could just blur it by 1-2 pixels and it would look smoother while preserving the contrast. Also, the fire in the top right corner is really distracting.

Third, your anatomy is a bit off. The most noticeable thing is the line of her armpit (our left). I have no idea why there is a reversed "r" line there. If you look at the actual armpit, that "r" line shouldn't exist at all. The actual line, which is supposed to be the pectoralis major, wraps around bicep muscles and does not merge into it. Here is a reference for you: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/7…

Next time if you draw something you have never done before, you better look at some reference first. Also, her hands look funny because you have them cropped. Hands can convey emotions through gesture so I think in this case, you would benefit from drawing them entirely rather than cropping them. You should only hide hands if there are objects or characters in the way. Otherwise, you should try to show them because hands are one of the most powerful ways to show the character's expression. It will make your characters more believable and  increase the effectiveness of your image overall.

Lastly, your style needs more work. Find some artists you that you like and try to draw similar to them, but don't copy their style/technique exactly. Once you have looked  at many artists and have done enough drawings, you should be able to draw "your way" and hopefully people will start to recognize you for your style. You are getting there, but you have a long way to go.

Good improvement!
