The colour and light of this picture all blend nicely in a winter theme. The background uses adequate use of effects. the speed lines juuuust give a feeling of rush without actually calling attention to themselves. The snow that is thrust up in the background adds more attention to the bear while still bending in the background. You even implemented different directions depending on which body part is kicking up the snow, even the lack of action under her belly (that's what she said)! The detailed little snow particles (contrasted with the rather blurred snow in the background) had me look for the reason why they are kicked up. Following the line of motion led me to the secondary strikes that follow a stronger, more attention-calling strike in the middle. The different colour tint on the snow bottom gives attention to the fact that she really is running on snow without distracting attention from the main focus: the bear.
You definitely have a sense of drawing motion here. The colouring and the very subtle textures do the bit to suggest a furry animal. Her roundness suggests softness. (I can imagine her fur blowing backwards from the running she is doing.) However, her action figure and expression, while subtle, evoke a sense of anger. You even shaded her with cool colours in a darkness that suggests her anger and seriousness!
In all, your use of subtle techniques blending together into an undoubtedly active piece gives you a unique style... gentle, but provoking. (I wish I could learn from you here...)
