As always your technique is beautiful. The colors are very smooth with no notice able streaks (I think there are some in the background?). I love that you places all the intense colors on the right side, with the placement of the girl, and everything else is on the gray side. The only problem with that is that at first the man sort of fades into the background. At first glance my attention was solely on the girl.

The detail on the weapons is exquisite, You paid so much attention it's beautiful. The transparency in the ribbon on the girls blade is wonderful. Just enough to give the hint of opacity, but still substantial.
