shaded commission for 
[EDIT July 22]
People kept pointing out the overly long legs all the time. The pic wasn't meant to be like that, it was an accident, so I've gone back and shortened them.

I'm going to be really really honest here, just because your art is amazing and I'd really hate to see little things stop you from getting more commissions.
I can tell that you really like long legs and that that's what you were going for, but I think there's a little more anatomy research needed before you leap into things like that. The rest of this is amazing, especially your colouring and shading imo, it's flawless - but there's a line between sexy long legs and disproportionate, eye-bogglingly long legs. Personally, if I paid $40 and you gave me this, I wouldn't commission you again. That may be really really harsh but anyone hoping to get much money off their art should be open to harsh critisism.
I can tell some of the commenters really like it and this IS just another opinion, but it's generally better safe than sorry.
Legs are a really, REALLY easy hole to fall into, and it's actually good that you've fallen into it because that means you're not limiting yourself to cartoony/feral legs like a lot of artists I've seen on here.
Here's what I generally do with legs, I actually don't really know how correct it is since it's been too long since I referenced something oops

But I guess that's not really screaming long sexy legs, but here's as far as I'd go with that

Take from that what you like since in the end it's just another style and another opinion, so I might as well be wrong. You can totally ignore me if you want, I have no problem with that, it's your art after all! Just keep in mind how easy it is to go overboard on making legs long and big and bodies small and short. Like remember to flip the canvas every once in a while to check for skewed proportions and stuff.
Please don't think I'm trying to be a big snobby douche here, I'm seriously not!! I honestly just really love your art and want you to get all you can out of it! Again, feel free to ignore this since it's just my opinion.

actually, the long legs was an accident. it looked shorter in my sketch, and it wasn't until i finished that i noticed how long the legs were. if i were to re-do the pic, i would make them shorter. I know about anatomy and can see they're way out of proportion, it wasn't on purpose, it was an accident i didn't notice till i was finished.
