I'd just remove the text, text can really make tags, and the artist for that matter, appear much worse then they actually are skill wise.
Try to do more with the character and not her surroundings. You chose a great stock that has plenty of potential. I don't know what more to say, just try and do more with it.
Good luck mate, I'm willing to help in anyway that I can, feel free to message or post and I'll respond as quickly as I can.
EDIT: forgot to add the word 'appear' in the first sentence, fixed now. Sorry mate, wasn't bashing you in anway.
