I think she is overall okay, I only think that her right hand maybe too broad, it looks as if it's as large as her leg! Maybe reduce it by 1 pixel width helps.

The image isn't showing up for me. Maybe Opera won't display .pcx files.

I viewed the source and looked at it...

I think the right leg looks really small in comparison to the left leg, and to the whole body in general. Try to make it one or two pixels wider.

Other than that, I think it looks ok.

I really like the character. Some quick modifications:

In essence:

Erased a couple of pixels to enhance her muscels. Thicker limbs doesn t neccesserily give of impression of a muscular body; the thickness has to be wellplaced.

Also edited her face. The eyearea was very dark - too dark imo. Additionally I removed the mouthline since it didn t look neccessery and a bit strange, and with that raised her chin to make her look more feminine and less like a neanderthal.
