First a note, with my last smudgey i just knew i had to do better so i sent out on my journey of sig making to create the best one yet. I spent about 3 weeks finding cool coolors and a render that i could make a easy but amazing looking smudgey out of which this sig is a smudgey but with stuff siphenz and blitz said i should do: add depth, effects around render, add a light source, and more flow so i tried my hardest and dahdah this is my outcome PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN IMPROVE EVEN MORE AND TELL ME IF I IMPROVED ALOT A LITTLE OR NOT AT ALL FROM MY LAST SIG!!!! note: i've changed my text from soul to a small S, i did this so i could hide it easier and still not be ripped:P

Well the text is Realy blended and it took me alittle bit to find it also you still want it to me near the focal and for the rest of the tag it has a little bit of depth and it looks like the focal is just in a random abstract thing.

This is how i do stuff now.

Depth- I use the blur tool to make stuff is far away and sharpen to make it look alot closer but make sure you dont sharpen too much or it will look bad and pixly also if you want it to look a little bit more dramatic you could burn the out side of the tag.

Lighting- I now use the dodge tool to make it light and burn to make it look darker.


I trust everyone, just not the devil inside of them.

Even though you spent a long time on it, it looks monotone and flat to me. I would have tried to change her skin tone and warm it up because it almost looks like a light green. It needs more than just the render and the smudged background. If the text is that small you can get rid of it. sniper One thing you could do to enhance the lighting is to add shadows with a soft brush of black @ a low opacity around the spots the light isn't at so its almost like a mini vignette.

Don't stop there. Check out some of our tutorials.
