I don't think it's so bad! But honestly, I don't know what type of crit I can give, mainly because I'm totally not used to these type of styles. It's reasonably pretty though~ (;
This one has a lot of potential. Things to make this a great tag would be: Fix the contrast and brightness. Change the color scheme up to more complementary colors. Blur some places for depth. Use the dodge tool in places that are too bright, that should be in shadowed areas. Edit: and fix the lighting on the stock. you have a bright spot to the right of his face, but the lighting comes from the left.
Its good. But I don't like the colour either ;p Sorry ^^ And did not like the guy on the pic^^ But still its a good siggy^^
