This is heart-stoppingly good! The time you put in it paid off.
Her hair behind her right bicep and left fist both look "gluey" with varying degrees. Her right knee looks thin but you can easily correct that.
The tip of her hair looks like it's meshed together with the same consistency as Inque . Maybe adding some more lines to the tips would give it the impression of flowing.
The fingers of her left fist looks like they're fused together. Adding deeper, darker lines between them could rectify this.
I don't see any problems with her hips. In fact, it looks like she's ready to turn and move to her right because all her weight's on her left foot. Her right knee looks thin but that could also be the angle of it you wanted us to see.
And is she cold? Her protruding, stone-cold nipples are a nice touch!
Wonderful job overall! I look forward to more.

By "gluey," I mean it doesn't look like it flows. The strands of her hair look like they're clumped together as if she came out of the shower-- wet and adherent. It doesn't seem to flow the way dry hair does.
It just seems this way because the tips of her hair are curled up; they look rigid, unnatural. If this was the choice of hair style for her, you could ease up on the curl to couple it with the dynamic pose. In that case, it'd look natural.
I agree with your notion of the "blocky feel" of her fist. I just suggest you put deeper lines between her fingers so it doesn't look like they're fused together. You might even want to put some definition to her second knuckles so they don't look like one straight line or a yellow mitten.
You really did a fantastic job. I'm sure if you leave this as-is, you can sell prints of it.

I think it's pretty cool that you're using it for a desktop. I'm pleased that you find it so appealing. I really like the mirrored eyes too, and it's great that you find it phenomenal!

Awesomesauce!!! I love this coloring technique! Very comic book without being super-simplified.
There's sooooomething about her hip/crotch area that's bugging me though.... I think the hips might be a tad too bulbous, and the way the highlights get cut off almost make her legs look disconnected from her body (I only mention this because you encourage advanced critique :3 ).
Her hair is AMAZING!
