Draw and color anime girl step by step process another attempt!

My last attempt to revive the old drawing of Anime looking character was not so successful. So I take a different direction. I am looking at a simpler and going with a fewer values.

Because of last time I try to maintain the simple anime face and try to render everything else out...it clashed. Now, I am doing less but adding more of other element instead like designs, costume and such. It works out better than last time so it looks like I will be able to finish it in a couple sessions. It takes a lot of thinking than I think it would. Since I am doing the realistic render/ painting concept at work all day. It's a little tricky to switch the mentality and simplify and make good looking cartoon.

Hey, thanks for all the feedback GUYS!!! Appreciate :)
I clean up her skin tone on the chest area, I figured it doesn't need that many values as I previously painted. Sometimes it's necessary to scale back the value range and keep it simple for the sake making it looks better. :)
I change the leather color to white because white make it look more futuristic/ sci-fi and that what I am going for in this one. Brown leather color usually goes well with fantasy, western, etc.
Here is almost final version...
And of course...THE SUNSET way in the back behind them buildings for Pokepetter.
I think I am going to call it done here for now then go work on something else. I might have some idea to go further after that. But for now here it is :P
