I really enjoy this as a monochromatic piece, but when I opened the work larger I noticed that your lights and darks could be pushed a bit more. I really think it would a depth and character if pushed subtly...I realize that the reasoning for the moon being muted is to push your focal point to the girl's face, but if you lean towards realism the moon is a reflection of sunlight, without clouds, this would be a pale white(orange, red, depends on the time of year). If you give yourself two light sources (one being the moon and the other being a unseen source infront of the girl) it can really make this piece pop a little more. Taking the light source to the eyes and nose of the skull, it will make it look less like color and more like light. The meekness in color and light is why I rated the impact a 3. It is something I struggle with myself.
I must mention, this is beautiful. I love your line quality, the details in the metacarpals and flanges. the details are very nice. I like how her hair kind of mimics the movement of the webs in her details....I could go on about my love of details in this....but I digress.

哦 好的。 我看了你的数码绘，估计用的是PS里的自带的某个笔刷。首先你要下载一套共享的优质笔刷：sagebrush。链接： ishare.iask.sina.com.cn/f/1481… 怎么安装笔刷可以网上学。
上色第一步是上底色。皮肤第一层，衣服第二层，头发第三层。底色不但是一个基础色，还是你之后上色的选定范围。就是说之后画细节时，在每一层就不会画出边界去了。然后每层就上色加工：有一个反射光和直射光的光影问题，看这个： www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbicuv… 还有颜色概论：www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxuUiO…
下面都画完了对吧，下面就是我的技巧了。 我其实上色很不灵，好看的感觉都是用PS调出来的。具体技巧可以网上查，我就大概说说几种手段：1. 盖印所有图层stamp all layers，把这个新图层（stamp layer）属性调成multiply（叠加），调低透明度到50%，就能把整个图加深层次。2. 如果把这个stamp layer 调成 30%透明的 softlight 模式，这样就能把整体变亮，略发光的感觉。还有把这个softlight层用高斯模糊gaussian blur 2-3， 这样又多了灵动感。 3. adjustment layer调整图层；curves曲线，color balance色彩调整 等都是常用的整合整体色调的工具。 4. 纸纹运用：增加一些质感texture。 这些我全都混合着用 哈哈 ‘上色白痴‘极度依赖PS的。

I agree to what TormsyTGKat said about this piece...
For me... It has an amazing concept, nice colors, background unifies with your main focus...
The only thing was to make your values to a higher level...
Put some light source to make it pop out more and dark for the shadows...
All in all its a great illustration... just explore more about lights and darks....
