Trying that pirate lass again

.:: Fullview, ya scurvy seadog! ::.
Oh, and the image isn't done yet, this is technically a work in progress
After the somewhat lukewarm reception of my previous attempt at this character (which is a roleplaying character of mine called Adjanah, by the way), I felt like trying again. And frankly I am much, much, MUCH happier about this one. Started all over, refined her outfit a bit, changed the face to a more sultry, sexier one, added her faithful lizard companion Francis (named after Francis Drake, of course).
In the end it will have a full body and a more elaborate background, but for now it gets the message across.
On a sidenote, this is one of the first images where I've used both Photoshop and Painter. I find they work very well together...I'll definately use this approach from now on.

I am VERY interested in hearing what you have to say about it. Crits or praises, it all helps (especially crits).

Photoshop and Painter, my trusty Wacom, about 6 hours.
