Is it just me or does her arms look really short and stumpy?
It's just you. I think they're behind her body by a little.
She would make an interesting foil / enemy / friend? to my Winter's True Spirit who is an ice/kin spirit and summoned/reawakened when the Winter Lords attempted to take over.
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

It's an illusion, created by perspective on the arms, a hidden hip area and toes pointed downwards which elongates the leg.

The Guide to BURN
The only thing I can think of when I hear "Queen of Air and Darkness" is Laurell K. Hamilton's character Andais. The image of the art and the image in my head meshes not at all, since Andais only wears black.
Other than that, nice piece!
I've read the first of those books. Hamilton got the name from a TH White character and, though Wikipedia failed me on this, I'm pretty sure it's one of the traditional titles of a Queen of the Seelie (or Unseelie) Fae. It was also the name of a D&D deity.
I used it because Leannan is Illusion/Weather and 'Air and Darkness' kind of fits that.
Oh, and, yes, her arms are swept back. Suichiro gives a very good explanation of the effect. Maybe I should have increased the camera angle to give more of a looming effect.

The queen of Air and Darkness
So what is it that Leannan could eventually become? The character concept was that she was one of the few Sidhe to escape the Redcaps when they transformed them into monsters and imprisoned them in Salamanca. Her destiny is to reverse the process, but what then? Would her Fae nature overcome her? Would she rule the Otherworld of Salamanca as the capricious Queen of Air and Darkness?
