I love this piece and I am a big fan of the game. I love how you shaded her dress, it has this elegance and flow to it that is mesmerizing. It also seems to me like you choice the Twilight zelda for this piece. Which, in my opinion, was the better choice.
There isn't much I can say that you haven't already read. the only thing left that i can see is her face and her hair. . . .string. . . .things. the lighting is more realistic from the neck down, But from the neck up it seems like the lighting is coming from the side and a bit from the front. Her hair would cast a slight shadow on her body since her. . . . . string. . . bang is in front of her.
First off, this is a very beautiful piece of art. The shades of color really capture the feel of the very mature game environment of Twilight Princess.
About the shading, most of it was done very well. But there can be some places that can use hard shadows. Like under her purple shirt... thingie. The high amount of soft shadows make it look like her shirt is floating a bit too far away from her. The shadows should go along the contours of the shirt. Same can be said about her tiara. And maybe the shadow between her breasts should go away or become more transparent since, I figure, the fabric stretches across her breasts and doesn't bundle up in between them.
I am not sure, but I am guessing you made the hair by painting in a solid color shape and using clipping or layer lock to paint in the details. That is a good method to use, but for the hair, after using that one technique maybe you can use a small brush to make some loose strands of hair for a more natural look. Even if you didn't use clipping or layer lock, that techniqe can help a lot.
I hope I helped out, this is an excellent painting and I know you have the potential to improve greatly ^^
I love this piece. However I suggest you should darken her hair a bit at the roots to make it look more natural and realistic. And add details to the ears. But these are just a few minor things stopping this from being perfect.
wow very nice. The clothes are lovely I would recommend adding a shadow to help make her feel more grounded...Also nothing much is done composition wise and having the focus dead center is not really the best. Also this pose is used often and is not that original at all--you did a good job but nothing much to make this your own. Also, your head to body ratio looks a bit off from the original TP design, she is normally much taller. More work could have gone into the face seeing as first there is not enough blending and it looks flat, and second it doesn't really look like her, and third the eyes look off alignment. The light source is not defined at all either. hope this helps

Other than that I love it.
