Honestly, love it. Colors are great.
Tried to think of something bad to say about it, nothing came to mind.

I hate my self for saying this(because the band sucks) but this tag is so......"
two thousand and late!" 
Then again I'm bias because I wasn't really a fan of this tag effect when it first starting popping all over GFX forums and alike back in 08-09.
For critique purposes thought--it's good for what it is. Nice blending of colours especially from the warm to cold hues. Good use of negative space as well but the lighting seems a little to harsh and it jumps all over the canvas. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's not bad it just failed to impress me.

No matter what this fine chum' above me said, I like it. Great blending and you know you'll always have me hot for white.

I agree w/ Hostage in that it's not very original, but I like it. The blending could've been better (Not the stock - It fits in well).
The colors are good. And I like the harsh lighting that Hostage mentioned.

I actually don't agree with the stock blending.
When you isolate "Naruto" and look at the colors, it looks like a bad gradient map was just slapped on, or random color brushing to make him fit the color scheme.
Do the lighting on his in accordance with the surrounding and leave his natural colors there.
Don't really like the piece, there are no solid effects. Maybe that's just personal reason for me not to like it, but the whole tag looks a bit "neutral."

I didn't slap the gradient map on Naruto. I did the brushing/smudging with a close-to-black color and then applied the Gradient Maps on the overall signature.
Got your point though.
