So I reuploaded this. The last one got taken down for "solid eye color manip", not entirely sure what that means. I got this as a request so keep them coming guys. Next I would like to do a ben10 one.
Solid eye colour manip means you literally just filled the eyes in with a single colour, no gradients. HypnOlster you are improving, but if you can't even be bothered to read the rules on what you're not allowed to post you shoudn't really be manipping, also you have a cropping issue on this pic, just saying
Eyes seem better, but I honestly can't tell if they're still a solid color or not. I can't tell if that shading is actually shading, or just my eyes playing tricks on me due to the shadow on her face.
I'm gonna take HypnOlster at their word and assume this is just a straight up reupload, which would mean no editing was done. So unfortunately I'm going to flag it again.

No I fixed the eyes and added shading. But if it does get deleted I won't blame you. It is not my best :) I might just reupload with spiral eyes if you guys want me too.
Yup. You've got to click "wiki" up top for some reason to even know they exist, which I've said before is a ridiculous place to hide them and that they should just be a direct heading since they're kinda important.

They aren't a solid color on my monitor. I think HypnOlster fixed that, at least.
Indeed, there is a gradient in the eyes, now. Which is good.
This one's not too bad, in my opinion. The cropped shadow could use some work, as could the borders of the eyes, but I feel like this is good enough to stay. :)
HypnOlster - As others have said, you're definitely improving. Good to see. You've got a ways to go, but you're certainly making progress. Keep at it.
One thing I'd recommend is learning to use layers and the smudge tool. If you place a prop (such as that shadow) on a new layer with a transparent background, you can freely smudge (lightly, while being extra careful to keep the same overall shape of the shadow - which is SERIOUSLY important!) the borders of the shadow using a low smudge "Rate" (a setting that works a lot like opacity; it basically effects how "strong" the smudge effect is - not sure what "Rate" is called in Photoshop). By doing so, you could manually remove all that jaggedness around the border of the shadow prop.
You could also just edit the shadow prop in its own file, "cleaning it up" there for use in other images, assuming you saved the prop to its own file to begin with.
If you manage to clean up the jagged edges via smudge tool while keeping the same overall shape and curves of the prop, then it'll look a LOT cleaner.

There's rules.

Found the rules and read over them. Thanks ;)
