Your coloring style has sort of a dreamy, ethereal feel to it, which works well here.
Overall, it looks really good. One thing I might change, would be to pull the blue sky down to the bottom of the image. I like how it fades away to white on the top, but the white on the bottom makes it seem a little off-balance. Bring the sky all the way down would give the pic an anchor, while still keeping that floaty-feel up at the top.

Gaaah you amaze me with every piece~! I love this~
Great job on the moon, by the way. I like how it almost made me think of shiny metal when I saw it (although that's probably horribly wrong |D). And Allen's so adorable~ I think the Fourteenth looks like he's going to try to eat Allen's face. ><
I hope you do well in the contest, though~ Hugs and faves from me! :3
This looks amazing ChocoBits! I thought the sketch was awesome, but this is just purely amazing! The colors you chose for everything fit really well with the whole picture and I love how you shaded the moon. altogether, all the color choices compliment each other nicely. the way you made the stars glow upon the moon really makes the picture stand out.
This is maybe the first fan-art of the fourteenth that I've seen really. usually I just see images of Allen or one of the other exorcists. I like how you incorporated him into this and made a really nice picture with the concept.
Allen is adorable XDDD I like his pose and how he really seems to fit onto the moon there. It's amazing that you could create this using colored pencils. You're really experienced with them I guess?
keep up the great work and I wish you luck in the challenge! the picture fits the challenge theme nicely and this is one of the best entries so far, so I think you have a high chance of placing XDD /favs/
Well, good luck in the challenge. I think you did a great job.
First of all, the coloring looks great. The especially in the moon, texture and colors look really well done. I can tell you out a lot of effort into it. The characters also turned out well. I don't actually know D. Grey Man, but I really like the effect of the 14th coming out of the moon.
One thing though, I kinda like the background fading to white, but the squiggles in it make it look somewhat messy. Personally, I think coloring in one direction with straight lines gives you a neater background with colored pencils. Of course this is just my opinion, so feel free to disregard this part.
Overall, I think you did a great job, and I hope you do well in the challenge.
