Lovely transitions and gradation in the skin tones. Your shadows are well done as always. Good use of specular highlights in clothing to give the material a nice sheen, especially on her hands and skirt. Your economy of line and clean drafting skills give the image a strong professional look. I'm sure whoever commissioned this will be pleased. Clearly you have a strong working knowledge of constructive anatomy and i enjoy and appreciate your anime/comic book illustration influences and sensibilities.

Though the pose you use is alluring and gets the job done, my biggest suggestion for improvement is on the figures foreshortening and perspective. Because she's leaning forward, I would expect her head, shoulders and possibly chest to be a bit larger compared to her hips and thighs. As it stands, her proportions are still rather flat, similar to your other mid perspective characters. Though the flattening may be your "style", this does make the arm on the right a bit awkward looking, especially the upper part of the arm. Because you're light source appears to be in front and directly above the subject, I'd expect a bit more shadow on the upper portion on the right arm. Since it's brightly highlighted, it appears the upper arm on the right is short opposed to foreshortened.
