Ok, did some more work on the rocks, and added some clothing to the girl. I also gave her a little more definition.

I'm not sure if the color is looking good when I save to jpg. Anyone have any ideas ...

I would suggest getting a photo reference. Perhaps get a friend to take a pic of you jumping off of something so you can better get an idea of how the legs and shoulders would be. If you can't get a p ...

Basement: I like the simple look of what you have going on. The only comment I would make is for you to maybe try and vary your line wieght to help show light and shadow.
