"A few days ago I said f*#@ it and started a pinup for a death knight. [upper left] I unabashedly cheated by hiding the arms and legs. I wanted to keep this painting as stress-free and fun as possible, so simple was better! But now I've reached a point where I'm not sure what to do with it. Do I consider it done and move on, or do I keep refining it? Are there areas that just don't read?"
You latched onto something very pivotal in that second sentence, Justin. If you'd cropped your death knight differently, or drew her from a different angle, you might have been able to get away with "simple." But in this frontal, full body shot, your concealment of those limbs is just a tad too obvious. Babe Lab's suggestions follow!
