It's been awhile since I've written a critique so this might be a tad jumbled.

To start off, the line art is magnificent as usual, containing the right curves to add in that hint of cartoon without crossing the line to pure toon which a lot of people are quick to do. Here, it's used beautifully to combine the dramatic sense of importance of the piece with a fantasy element.

The shading is slightly off around the neck but that's just impression so I could totally be wrong. but that's just a minor flaw that's subjective to the viewer. The best part about the piece is a combination of the lens flare and the shadows around the edging. The way the top of the piece is so noticeably darker gives off the feeling of physical light. Maybe there's some extra element or technique but the hair seems to work within the darkness.

Even with it being fanart, it doesn't necessarily rely on fully knowing the show to enjoy the piece, which is a marvelous thing to do.
