I'm digging the outfit, the black and green really go well together. That hat's a bit distracting though, what with the apparent cat-ears sticking out of it. Those are cat ears, right? Anyhow, there's also some excellent shading on the inside of the ears, which is perhaps the best part, aside from the color choices and the overall design. She's in proportion too, which is something you don't see too often around here.

There is something I'm not too fond of, and that is that the image is too light overall. I would darken the lines again with a good pen - a rollerball or gel type would work just fine. It'll make the green coat pop right out from the picture, and let us see some of the finer details in it too! Also, you may wish to try darkening the parts of the outfit that are further back on her, specifically the back ends of the hat, and possibly the inside of her shirt along the coat where the two would overlap. It'll also draw the attention back to the center of the character, which is in general a good idea for forward facing drawings.

In all, not bad. Needs a little work, but looks like you're off to a good start.

Nice picture. Your art style is very cute. The hat with the kitty ears is a little odd on the bunny, but I guess it keeps the hat from looking too serious. Over all, good job.

Is that metal thing on the upper right a sythe?

I agree with fenrir on the outfit. Pretty neat.
Interesting angle too... Were you intending to make our heads tilt? :p

Good drawing, the hands look a little ackward(they kinda look like two feathers) but besides that its a nice one.

Nice work. Has a unique outfit and perhaps weapon. Quite detailed and carefuly drawn. Not sure I dig the cliche pigeon-toe stance though. I've been seeing it a lot with these cutesy female-types.
