I can sum this up with just one word:
WOW!
Nice composition!
Good use of details, not too many, not too few.
Love the expression and the subtlety of the eyeshadow.
The hair is very well done as well, it 'feels' real due to the level of texture, subtle but there.
One, yes ONE comment: her head seems a bit small compared to her ... shoulders.
But with using no reference or inspiration, that's rather amazing, as the head's details are in proportions, and the body's proportions seem so too.
Do you do this professionally?
Do you do commissions?
Or is it all a hobby that you've choosen to excel at?

If you have nothing useful to say, you have two choices: Say something useless or stay quiet.
That is incredibly good.

Beautiful.
It does highlight a glaring lack in the char creator: Hair coming out of the hood.
Temperus, I am awed by and jealous of your drawing talent.
Thanks folks, glad you like it Yup the boobs are bigger than I aimed for, but she's no less attractive for it 
. as for the questions, Nope I'm not a professional at all, Commissions sometimes & yep it is a hobby
TBH, I read a graphic novel called secret war a couple of years ago ( not the 80s one) I realized that comics are aimed for a more mature readership these days & it really lit a fire under my butt, I couldn't draw the female form at all at the time ( they looked like transvestites because I only knew how to draw the male form) so I started from scratch. Books like Marvels "How to draw comics", " Drawing cutting edge comics" & "How to draw Dynamic comics" were and still is the basis for all the drawing I do nowadays, sorry if I went on a bit there
Lovely Contours.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Loved that image.
It had a lovely feel to it and I particularly liked the eye shading. Lovely detail on the hood. Wonder how this image would be colored.
Do you take requests? ;P
