Light My Fire

Shakugan No Shana ~

I've never done a really good fanart of Shana, even though it's been one of m favourite anime's for about 2 years and my friends often say Shana is like the character the represents me. but since season 3 came out 3 weeks ago, I thought I should do something for it since it's ending D:
So the flame in the front, yeah i know are a fail. I tried.. I failed. But I am really happy with just Shana in general. I think I did a good job on here and I need to work on backgrounds >w> the original background was sooooo cluttered.
I gave up on the flames, I might try and fix them some other time, but I should start working on some other things ~

Tips? Advice?
This also took about a week to do >w>
