Apart from the pointy ears she now makes me think of Brienne of Tarth. :) But I agree with Banj about the tangents and I'm not sure they're fully resolved. The hand is still very close to the hip and the really dark shadow on her weapon makes the blade looks completely detached from her, rather than as something she's holding. The hilt of the sword in the foreground also look like it could be armour on her leg (you never know with those fancily designed fantasy armours).

As for the reference pic, it's from the TV series The Musketeers: www.imdb.com/title/tt2733252/

Any an all misspellings are henceforth blamed on the cats.

Great input! I'll work on those mentioned areas to the best of my ability.

Thanks for letting me know the origins of the reference photo. I remember 'The Musketeers' from watching it when I was on vacation, I really enjoyed it too! :)

I updated the image based on the input I received and I think it's a significant improvement thankfully.  Calling this one done for now unless there is anything majorly off with it so please let me know:

 
 Next up I did a study of a movie still from 'The Matrix', one of my favorite movies: 
 Finally I finished up a sketch for a new personal illustration.  This one took me a while due to its complexity but I'm fairly satisfied with it.  Before I begin painting it in I want to make sure the sketch is solid, so if something looks off please let me know.  The poses were referenced from this stock photo here .  Tried my best to stay close to the general poses while creating some medieval themed attire for the couple which fits the theme I'm going for:
