I think the original WIP form of this picture is worth being an image on its own, as the line style and the coloring give the image a very cartoon appearance.





That said, I'm glad I was able to come across your account again in time to see the finished version. There's a bigger gradient of color in this version, and of course the shading plays a big part in that. Certain elements, like her green eyes and the red and green jewels she is wearing, stand out now because of the shading/highlighting.
