Very nice! I don't know how you people can stand to do such nice lineart and coloring on the computer--Drawing on the computer makes my head hurt XD
This is old, so you probably already know a lot of this stuff but...
The pose looks a little awkward--I think it's the hands. Then again, awkward positions are something of a tradition in RPG-style art, so even if they make no sense, they're okay, right? XD (Like bounce!)
I... Hope this doesn't make me sound pervy, but her breasts are too high up. In fact, her whole torso is just a little bit too long--Though, I make the same mistake all the time, so who am I to talk
And then, the shading on her sword blades is a little bit strange. They should be bright on top, and darker on the bottom, instead of wavy back and forth--In fact, because they're swords, they have a blood channel, which I can see you drew as a single line--This is the most common mistake ever made when it comes to drawing weaponry (I still make it, and I know it's wrong). The blood channel should be two lines, with the darkest shading in between, secondary dark below, and bright on top (For swords held in this position).
What's confusing about this is that one-sided swords and knives (Like a katana or cutlass) have no blood channel, and so they have a sharp area, which should have wavy bright shading like you have here, and a dull shock-absorption area on the back, which should be slightly darker. It's also good to separate the two areas with a line--On a katana, the line should wavy, on a scimitar, it should be straight.
...And then there are cutlasses, which aren't made of really good metal, and so there is no divide between the soft and the hard areas--They should just have the wavy bright shading
Anyway, good job!

Thanks for the critique! ^_^
I actually thought back then, that her legs were the ones that caused the drawing to look awkward. The arms seem alittle thin that's all.
Her breasts... hmmm... i actually thought that her boobs were a bit low back then, but im unsure.
Her torso, i've had problems drawing long torso's back then...i think i have that problem still from time to time...
Yah.. i've learned much more about swords since then.
Again. thankyou ^_^

You're welcome ^^
Actually, I find it helps if you draw the ribcage and abdominal muscles--Even if you just erase them afterwords, it's easy to see if they're too long, when it's not so easy otherwise... Then again, you might be already doing that, I can't tell
