Dat booteh o,,o
I like the shading on this, you have an amazing talent for it that I can only hope to achieve, and the perspective makes this look appealing to the eyes. However I would recommend being a little more lenient with the burn tool, the lighting where there shouldn't be (namely on her legs) kind of throws off where the source is, and the drawing doesn't show the accident. However that isn't a bad thing and can be easily fixed in future pictures, plus this is a great drawing minus those minor flaws and I applaud your work!

Glad you like it! I actually never use the dodge/burn tool, for shine like this I usually use Color Dodge/Linear Dodge layers. As for it being there, it was requested specifically by the commissioner! They said they wanted a shine similar to this one http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13237026/ so that's what I did. Also, there can be, and usually is, more than one source of light in images, and for this I chose the sun to be behind her (from our view) so she'd get a rim lighting and then a nice dark outline after that (causing her to stand out a lot more from the background), with the secondary source being reflected from all the tall, bright, metal buildings behind her.
As for the accident, it isn't the focus as much as just the character, and this was just a full color + rough background piece, so I wasn't going to put a lot of focus or use more of the composition on something the commissioner wasn't paying me to do, so isn't something I would really "fix" on future images unless they asked me to really show it off.
Something important to consider when judging a work that is a commission is "What did the commissioner want?", which is something only that person and the artist really knows, and is why I would usually ask people to refrain from critiquing commissioned works.
