The main problem i see is that you're going too hard and fast on the contrast of values. Her body almost looks insect like. You're trying too hard to render every bulge/muscle/fold with hard punchy contrast. Your highlights are saturated while your shadows lack saturation, which is generally the opposite of what you should do. You're adding deep shadows to major areas that should really only be used for AO areas like under the hair or the crease under the breast. Have a light touch and be gentle when adding contrast. Try to keep the value range fairly flat until near the end where you can then add in low opacity layers to add more contrast. Here is a quick and incomplete paintover for you to get an idea of what i mean.
