Came up with this character in the dead of the night. When the brain just shuts down and spews out whatever.

i think the face and the hair (especially) are really nice, but i think her costume could use some more thought. it seems that an awful lot of comic style (particularly manga) female characters wear this kind of outfit, it's become a bit commonplace. i think a more original outfit would make a much more striking character.

some of my favourite female costume designs are ash's in the film avalon. functional and they look great.

hope this helps!

cool pic
here's your crit.:
-good design, but not for a assassin (aren't they soposed to be stealthy?) in this case less secondary motion (hair) and less visable skin (don't want to be recognized!!)
-good coloring, but as a composition it looks flat, maybe some more contrast on her shadows and highlighs would do the trick... the back ground: there's something about the tree to her left (our left) that bugs me... it looks kinda flat, but then again the background shouldn't be as detailed as the foreground... I don't quite know what to say here, it does work well with the comp though.....

hope this helps
