It looks really good. Very Saturday cartoon-ish. I can't put my finger on it but something about her seems off. Too stocky or too short maybe? If I think of what it is I'll let ya know.

It's a good rendition, but something just doesn't feel right.
Thank you for the time...

Shins were a little short. I added some length to them (hence the black areas that weren't taken out yet ><). Should look a little better.

well it makes me feel better that it's not just me who's going mental 
A friend of mine just looked at it and she said either the arms are too thick or the figure herself is too short. Not sure that helps ya or not but there it is.
Nice job overall on the pencils and colors! It's not perfect but it doesn't have to be. I appreciate anyone willing to put themselves out there to show their skills and be willing to accept honest criticism. Especially on these boards where there is pro calibre talent.
Keep up the good work!

The area where her abdominal muscles are showing is too bold. The rest of her body isn't that muscular, so the sudden shelf of rock hard ab makes it look like she's wearing body armor. Her feet aren't on the same plane of perspective at all, with her camera left foot being pointed downwards as if the horizon was higher and her camera right foot being planted perfectly sideways, as if the horizon level was flush with her heel.
Her camera left knee should be pointed farther out since her foot is also pointed outwards. If you tried to stand like that yourself, you'd find it very difficult to get your knee and your foot to be so varied in orientation. It's not a natural position. For her camera left hand, the folds indicate that her thumb is behind her index finger, but also behind her wrist. The smoothness of the curve from the thumb to the wrist is too gentle to cause a fold like that, so the best thing would be to remove that wrist line entirely. Her sword is currently disappearing into thin air as it goes behind her.
Since you've established highlighting on her hair already, the hair behind her shouldn't have any highlights at all, when it's in a shadowed area. It makes her hair look shiny compared to the rest of it on her head. Her hip area should be a tad longer, as she doesn't have enough room in her lower torso to make up the difference of her height from her legs. So her body looks squashed when judged against her legs and head.
