Hello total stranger I just stumbled across, I'd be more than happy to give you a quick little critique. :3
Though I'm not sure if you mean on the art or the character herself... So I'll assume you mean the art.
In looking at the art, from a quick peak through your gallery I say there is some slight improvement.
However the anatomy and pose seems off...
I would suggest you look at reference images while you work, and not drawn references even though this is a fan-work, actual pictures. If you were to use a ref from a show you'd be coping the mistakes of the original artist as well as making your own. Use an actual picture, just as the original artists do, or even use a mirror.
Also try more dynamic poses, the one here seems stiff and kinda dull. Even if it's just a reference pic a more interesting pose can liven it up more and can even tell a great deal about the character herself.
Another thing, try and keep things consistent, you have two entirely different types of shading in here, the smoother one under the neck and the harder one throughout the rest... this make the image look a bit... wonky.
I'd also like to point out the clothing, clothes don't really fall that way, next time try drawing the figure without clothes and add the clothes on afterwards paying attention to how the fabric falls, try looking at your own clothing as a guide.
One more thing I'd suggest is sketching... lots and lots of sketching, map out the drawing before you start, quick little lines to get the shapes down and make things even and well proportioned.
Hope this helps.

Yes, I did mean the art. Thank you! I'll try to remember this next time. I'll probably look back at this a lot, once again thank you. ^-^
