Description
Okay. It's Zizi again
in her armour 
No, the green thing is not fire but it's one of the most powerful attacks. It actually consists of tiny leaves
I had drawn Zizi there earlier and (again) added the background. I'm really really happy of how this whole thing turned out. The green blast, the cliffs, the river in the canyon, the trees (I surprisingly managed to draw trees 
I think I'm going to hang this on my wall if I can find a spare spot somewhere...
This is honestly one of my best works so far!
Critiques would be much appreciated

First of all, I have to say this is indeed one of your best works yet e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c⦠" width="20" height="20" alt="

On to the critique then:
While there's light in the background, there seems to be little to no light on the cliffs or on Ziirux; observe how things are shaded during a sunset/sunrise and remember the light source, because it's sometimes the backlight that truly brings your art to life.
The next thing I would suggest is to make the shading more obvious for a more 3D-like effect. It is hard to shade sometimes, but it is as worth it.
Also, I would expect the armor to have some "connecting points", as I like calling them, like between the neck/chest plates and the limb's armor, matching the joints. Else the armor wouldn't allow her to move at all e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
That is all I can say, overall, this is a gorgeous piece of art e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

Thank you so much for the critique
I suck at shading for now but I'm trying hard to improve
I know what you're talking about with the connecting points but the armour on her legs is actually just rings that are connected under so that you just can't see it and the chest plates are attached under the neck plates
Thanks

You know, for a moment I thought that green stuff was toxic poison but it's actually leaves? How amazing...

ho How do you draw the background in?

The sky I drew with some pastels and the cliffs and other stuff I drew with ordinary colouring pencils

I was just about to say the same! Definitely one of your best works so far!
Great armor design, great expression, great background, great use of different shades for the armor.
I congratulate you, my friend.
