Starting with the basics - the skin tone is perhaps a little off, but it may just be the lighting you've chosen to render the image with. Aside from colour theory, the shading itself is fluid and works well, with a nice brushy style consistent across the image. The eyes are engaging and lit well - and since the eyes tend to be that which people will look at first, you've done well here.

The hair is a tad inconsistent, however, and it's here that I'll offer the most critique - the detail in the individual strands fades into block shading at the roots. You want to go the other way here - more detail at the roots, less at the ends. With closer care and attention in this area, you have the potential to make this image really stand out.

As for originality - the reality is there's nothing wrong here, but fanart by its very nature is less original than something put together with OCs, or a landscape.

Overall, an excellent image with just minor adjustments to the consistency of rendering needed to make it phenomenal.
