Anuvia's Art Dump

I'm having an issue trying to give the "magic/casting" a more whimsical and, well...Magical effect if that's any help. I tried giving it a "glow" but that can only help so much. Any help would be immensely appreciated C:

Please keep in mind I don't have any fancy brushes/textures as I'm working entirely in Paint Tool Sai right now. Also, I haven't added much shading yet as I was to have the magic set up so I can add highlights and shadowing accordingly. I'm sure adding some bright, glowy highlights to the character in the end will help a bit too C:

I know it's not a redline, but I'm hoping I can gather some input :x
