Nice job! but, lemme guess, you drew one side, traced onto another paper, and then reversed it and traced it onto this one? then coloured it? don't worry about it, i used to do that too...now i only do it once in a while, if i can get a second eye to look just right...

well, i can't really say anything about originality, because it's a sort of basic-ish pose, and the character isn't yours, but i often find that the best practice into finding your own personal style... that's why for a LONG time the only thing I did was Fanart...

if you're wanting tips on actual drawing, there are a few issues with the shoulders and forearms...the shoulders are a bit pointy, even without the sailor suit...and the arms are a little round...

next time, you might try drawing a circle on the end of the shoulder/neck line so that you can just draw a slightly curved line for the arms...you might try taking a peek through the featured page of my gallery for examples of shoulder/arm ratios...

i hope you don't think i'm being harsh or something, but you wanted a review so i'm giving you one...and i'm honored that you would ask me for my review.

No worries, that's the kind of review I like, harsh but you're not a *Naughty Work* about it. And, no, I didn't do that trace thing you said, this was pure sketch and ink.

Also, I was kind of going for poofie sleeves, although I realized after I drew it they just looked weird. Thanks for the fave BTW.

That's because I've learned to measure with my thumb. It's why you always think of an artist holding out their fist with their thumb held up, they're taking measurements. And if you ever get bored, feel free to review something in my featured gallery, I always like peoples input.

It just comes with a LOT of practice. I still can't do it right every time.

aww, well...

tell me more about your queen shade character? like, what is her outfit kind of like? is she more regally villainous, or more of a warrior?

Well, to sum up what she's done in the story, (And you can read the first three chapters in my gal) She had her dragon, Agron, killed Ganondorf, she killed her foot servant, Magdar, for no reason, she rides a chariot drawn by two black stallions, and she almost killed Link, Zelda, and the king when she kidnapped Zelda and Links newborn twin babies. I kind of see her as a beautiful but ruthlessly evil type. And she doesn't have a costume design, that's the point of the contest, although she does have a sword in my gallery somewhere.
