Finally finished River's ref! Can you critique it?

Mrow, I really would love you guys to critique two things about this; River's design, and also my art, if you would! *purrs* You know, just tell me what you like about it, what you think I could improve on... thank you in advance!  :)

If you are an furry,  it means that you can see a special kind of beauty in life - special because most people CAN'T see it through their delicate little first impressions and social conditioning. There is beauty in EVERY image, no matter what the subject matter, because beauty comes from artistic intent and integrity.

Too big brush sizes, makes it look "splashy?".

I approve of this illustration, although I'd alter the hair to remove the stray strands falling from above-left of the nose. Maybe a bit of outlining to match the rest of the picture?
Experimenting with brushes might yield interesting results. Always good to consider variations you haven't thought of before.

If this is a drawing reference, I recommend you do a detail on the markings, showing her back and legs and stuff so people know if there's any runes, scars, tattoos, etc. there. 0ther than that, it's great!

Thank you!
Oh, I already did! Her only markings are the hieroglyphs, and those are shown in a close up next to her!
