Well, been working on this lineart for the past 7 hours... I MIGHT colour this in the future, but right now I don't think I will.
I do like the outcome of this... mostly because I rarely draw backgrounds... especially not trees and plants.
Anyway, the bridge was referenced (read NOT eyeballed, learn the difference) from a photo of a bridge which lies in the Huntington Botanical Gardens in San Marino. Courtesy of Google image search.
The woman is Yefa, OC Nat's wife.

We have five digits, to say we have five fingers is ignorant. You're right, each finger has their own name, ring finger, index finger, pinky finger. But a thumb is a thumb.
It has a different set of joints, it's opposable, it has different proportions to fingers and it's positioned differently on the hand. If it was the same as fingers, we'de be sharing the same spot as every primate that doesn't have an opposable thumb.
I wasn't being silly, simply using a lower-brow comment as a stepping-stool incase I needed to step this arguement up. And I reiterate, we count 10 digits.

Now now, no need for that ;P
I like your art, and this piece is serving you well as a new addition. I can tell you took a damn long time, and regardless of how you define the various aspects, I can tell you put a lot of thought into the fine details, the structure and the layout of the piece.
You've managed to give her a wonderful expression, and a delightful set of jewellery, especially the dangle along her parting. Her proportions are believable, and stable, and her angle is well balanced.
Being anatomically correct isn't important with original characters, it was just something I noticed. Sorry for causing hassle.

Not to be a pest or anything... I mean after all this is just semantics. It means Nothing. But..since this is a work of Art..[and a rather lovely piece at that] Why not just assume that her Race calls the Thumb a Finger. Or whatever else that comes to mind.
When it comes right down to it. Arguing about such a small trivial thing, is..well.. Silly. It's not even criticism. You're just picking for the sake of picking.
So...Fingers, Thumbs, Digits, Pointy Appendages of the hand... ^^ Whatever you wish to call it? The whole of the picture is well done.
Yes yes ...I know... I should leave well enough alone right? ^_^ Sorry, I couldn't help it. I just thought this was such a silly thing to be..well nitpicking about.

And I feel i should add, cause I really don't want anyone upset...not the artist, and not you either... I'm really not trying to be a bitch of anything. ^^ Just.. a friendly little...thingie...or ramble..or..something..ok..shuttin up now <,< >,>
I'm kewt. and that's my excuse!
[And I totally just invalidated any intelligence I may have shown by doing that. <,< >,> ]

Love the details you threw into the whole picture and the clothing design makes me drool.
My eyes fell directly on the four-fingered hands which instantly reminded me of Elfquest as you tell the one above me to think about. Love the usage of the idea as it makes any non-Elfquest elf rather unique in its own way.
The bridge came out beautiful and the little statue makes me giggle; somehow it looks out of place, yet it still fits.
