Is This Comfy Mode?

The long awaited first print! I'll be selling this as an 17x11 print starting at Fanime this year.
It actually turned out even better than I hoped. The background was kind of an accident, I started by putting some large spotlights by just putting some big white circles in the back with the outer glow blending mode turned on for the layer, but I didn't really like it. Then I tried doing a few stripes, and was just playing around with the brush while writing her name and the result kind of blew away my expectations.
The MEKA emblem is on the wrong leg, I know. I didn't realize this until I checked her ref sheet towards the end and by then it was too late. I considered flipping the whole canvass horizontally, but then her hair wouldn't be right. Let's just say this is her misprinted uniform, they're worth more on the collector's market.
[Update] Fixed the color a bit, the original blue was too washed out. Also redid the butt. In the original the butt angle didn't work with the torso angle. I ended up slightly redrawing the back leg to make it work.
