No, you're doing fine, if you want to improve even further though, I'd start painting with a broader value range though, In the skin especially. In addition, skin is fairly soft, I might recommend using the soft round brush to paint most of it, and using the hard round brush for details. Also make sure to use lots of warm red and orange tones in the skin, which will help the skin look more lively; as well blue eyes aren't usually that blue, they tend to be closer to a grey. Finally, adding occlusion shadows can help with making a painting look more finished- for example where the hands and breasts meets, there would a thin line of darker values around that contour, and that's because light wouldn't be able to bounce and reflect into those areas, so they would actually end up being pretty dark. In any case, keep painting and studying with the intent of learning and you'll improve.

It feels strange having such a child-like head on such a muscular body. Of course that's just my opinion, though.

I like the general idea and your rendering is very cool, but the character in red feels very stiff, I struggle with that as well though. The pose just feels awkward and unnatural, moving her right arm back might help, but if you have a mirror and a long object that resembles a sword, I would try and recreate the pose yourself and study whether it feels natural or not, and really try and understand the underlying gesture. Either way, awesome stuff, hope you finish it.
