i didn't like the body features nor the pose (I can see what you tried to do), so I tried it myself. I am not as good as Chris when coming to anatomy and posing, but I hope you can learn a thing or two from this.

>I shortened and curved the legs. For calm poses such as this, a relaxed leg placement would look better. Also, I shortened them so they aren't Sailor Moon legs. The knees are also more defined.
>The breasts don't always stay on the body's sides, as you drew; depending on the perspective, one of the breasts may be in profile. also, the breast is connected to the armpit, making a single curve.
>Changed arm placement. The original one was kinda awkward (imagine yourself holding a sword like that) and unfortunately, the sword's handle was going over her crotch. In order to make things more readable and relaxed, I made her hold the sword a little far away from her body. Also, this new placement inclined the sword a little, making it more interesting to see.
>Body perspective. Now you can clearly see that the body is in 3/4 view.
>Chin. People's heads aren't perfect ovals, so a slight angle for a chin can make it look better.
>Ear placement. Now they are evenly spaced.
