Fire Faerie Ruby

Ok, here another attempt of mine on more realistick looking art.
I know my shading still needs a hell of a lot of work, but I think I'm slowly getting the hang of it.

I also know that the background is pretty lame, but I was really stuck on what do do for a background, so I just choose a filter in the end.

Hope you still like it.

[Edit] I decided to change her eyes a little and think it looks better this way, I took a few of the black lines which used to go all around the eyes out to make it look more natural.
