So pretty! The colouring is really nice! The lighting is great as well! Great job!

So it's the Engloid variant. Very soft, monotone, easy blurs, and light contrast. I have listened to a few songs from artists that use her, there's a few good ones I think. To break it down, I see:
-Vision: It's definitely Vocaloid. You nailed the delivery. I don't know if that's a U behind her, but what is the transparent cipher mean?
-Originality: Your style is unique, as presented in this artwork. It's definitely a twist, but you made it your own. It's consistent, and you can see that throughout your artwork.
-Technique: Although I don't know what software or hardware configuration you have, you can clearly see you exhibit a variety of skills. The use of proportions, lighting, and colors indicate that you have an advanced skillset. Whether you used vectors, or drew-by-hand you managed to fit a lot of critical details in the line art. The placement of certain objects could differ, I can see it but I have to look for it. Although the contrast is very minimal, you did manage to make Miku stand out.
-Impact: When I look at this, I think about my favorite songs. Since the colors are cool, and the lighting is warm it feels mellow. Her eyes and floating hair make Miku's angelic voice nostalgic. However, her facial expression is not as reminiscent.
Deviousness: 4/5

Thanks! Actually I followed the color scheme of the original snow Miku (2010). Engloid seems interesting. Will check out some songs.
The "cipher" is actually a mute icon you see on Youtube or other sites. Perhaps it is not visible enough.
Well even I myself am not very sure what my style is. Is it the shading? The way I draw the face and eyes?
Yeah I guess my skills of using Clip Studio Paint see much bigger improvements through time than my actual drawing skills. Know how tricky it is to do the blur effect in CSP? Figured it out by myself, and I'm pretty proud of it (not that it matters lol).
Facial expression is one of my biggest weakness (see how all pieces in my gallery show more or less the same expression?).

This one could use more contrast, make sure that the darkest areas are actually dark (right now its barely in the mid tones) so it doesn't blend with anything and its easier to read. gyazo.com/881a11a4c787caade9b8… see how yours its difficult too look at compared to the others?
also the mute thing in front of miku is too distracting, kinda looks like a watermark instead of part of the illustration, may look good behind her in the top left? or if you cant find a good place then dont put it, sometimes we have to give up on things like this for the sake of making the illustration work.

Thank you very much for your critiques!
I draw this one to be used as my wallpaper, and I like my wallpaper to be of lower contrast. I used to draw with higher contrasts though (see Snow Miku 2017 , Snow Miku 2014 and Snow Miku 2015 and most other pieces in my gallery), but then I decided to try something else. It is possible to create stunning art with lower contrast, like this piece by the legendary Rella: www.pixiv.net/member_illust.ph… (not trying to compare to her. Of course her art is waaaaay better than mine).
Yeah I thought a bit about the watermark too, but without it the picture would look empty. Hard to find a balance...
