aaw, thats so cute! X3 Welcome to theOtaku, and this "fan character" section is pretty new, and a LOT of people dont like it becuz not many people vote here, so dont think u r terrible at art just becuz this awesome pic has low votes! even i have problems with this category XP yea, like panda pants said, the outfit is like Berri's.
and i think its extremely hard to find a food name since theres a lot of people who have mew mews so all i had in mind for my mew mew was ,yume, "dream in japanese" i think Arata sound cute tho ^^
overall, this pic is cute! good job! X3 *vote*
At least you're not telling us to only give you good comments. So far, so good. :D
Now then:
Outfit's too similar to Berii's, arm garter is in the wrong place, and I have no idea what an "arata" is, but it doesn't seem to be a food. In fact, it's not even a female name. Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if she's not crossed with an endangered animal, too.
As for the picture itself, it seems as though you didn't actually plan the figure out, simply drawing straight out. A lot of people on this site do that, so you're not alone... however, it's not a wise idea. Her eyes are too close together, her face seems to be rather lopsided (or that could just be because her nose is in the center when it should be more off to the side), her ears are in a very awkward position, and she appears to have no shoulders. You did, however, place her collarbone properly, so that's a plus. :3
Ways to modify:
1. Change around her Mew outfit to be more original, more yours.
2. Look up orange-colored foods to use as names. There are a number of citrus fruits you could look into to use. Just avoid the common ones like "orange" and "tangerine" (there's also already a Yuzu and a Daidai, just to save you a whomping by the creators of those characters).
3. Look up endangered animals to use as her DNA. There are endangered foxes out there, after all. :3
4. Look into a basic body figure guide or something for more tips on how to draw the human body.

Just a couple random guides. Not ones I use, but that's because I worked out my system a long time ago.
Sorry if I come off as elitist and bitchy, but that's just my two cents.
So, er, in my longwinded and rambling way... welcome to theOtaku and I hope you enjoy your stay. :B
For the record, I'm the most narrowminded person you'll meet in this fandom, so you don't have to worry about anymore comments like this from anyone else.
