Composition
You said that you do a comic and I think that is amazing. I give credit to people who do comic book stuff. However, I'm sure as you know every comic strip has a composition. Right now this picture doesn't have much of a composition at all. You have what looks like smaller comic pages in the background, but they are just floating there. Then, there is the person who appears to be sitting, but again she is floating. Having a nice set background, even if it is a wall would help to show that they are not floating in space. Also, remember that if a person is standing on the ground there should be a sign of pressure and shadow. Anything that is pushed against, or set upon something creates pressure.
Another thing to remember is perspective. Every piece even comic strips has a horizon line. Make sure that the viewers eyes are at a set area. Objects closer to them will appear bigger, those farther away will appear smaller. The little creature that you have drawn is closer to the viewer so it should be slightly bigger, the woman sitting looks farther away so she should be smaller. Having a defined horizon line and projecting your lines outward will help you solve not only what objects are bigger and smaller, but making the characters appear as if they are standing on solid ground.

"You have tons of potential! Normally a cat girl is a little overdone. The sleeves are a very nice and cute edition.
Also her feet are very nice and pointed! Also you are good with thinking of cute expressions.
Yet there are quite a few anatomy issues.
arms are odly as long or even longer then her legs. ( your legs are about twice the size of your arm )
Her neck and chest are twisted and need to be more aligned along her spine. [...]"

"A little bit of advice, just because I've been doing the same thing for very long - sometimes less contrast is more.
Notice how her skin in the reference has all the values very close together, there's the base shade and the lightest point is only a bit lighter, similarly, the shadow is only a little darker. While in your picture you have much more contrast in her skin. Similarly the shirt, hair and mouth.
Now, this in itself is not a flaw, by all means. I'm pointing it out for three reasons - less contrast means less unnecessary work for you,
-it would actually look more realistic
-the main reason: contrast bring attention. So if you lower the contrast on skin and shirt, the attention of a viewer will automatically go to the highest contrast area - the eyes. And that is, generally when painting portraits, exactly what you want. In the same fashion, you could make the whites of her eyes whiter, to pop the contrast more. [...]"

Magic Week - Reverse Caption
The power flowed into him, filling his lungs, spreading out in his blood like oxygen, and settling into the marrow of his bones. He felt himself smile in a way that he hadn't since he was a boy learning to cast his first spell. He had devoted decades to the study of magic, but now, now he was magic. A glow lit the trees around him. He couldn't be sure if it was the setting sun, or if the glow came from his own skin. A beetle crawled on the ground nearby, seemingly unconcerned with what it had just witnessed, but yet its movements were in time with his heartbeat. A bird in the sky flapped its wings to the same rhythm. A breeze plucked at his hair and clothes. He began to dance, slowly at first; he followed the wind, and the wind followed him. He moved faster, twirling and leaping, until even the fallen leaves were dancing around him. When he stopped, all was still. He smiled again, and raised his arms to the sky. The first stars were visible. He watched them for a long
