.zero Tried Smudging

First time i've tried something like this so be nice

1.
2.
3.

 

Looks very good, but it's kinda plain. might use some contrast

i like it, especially for a first try.

 

Like he said its kinda plain, but add some contrast and lightening and it could bring it out some more. Also apply image and render some lighting effects.

 

95% of it is apply image layers

 

i like it man and like said alittle to plain but still looks really good job

 

looks good man, might wanna add some contrast and yea, it's plain. maybe sharpen some things too.

i think he meant: "make an applied image and go filter->render->lightning effects

 

this one looks great

 

Great smudging and colors. I think a little contrast and lighting would add a lot to the depth.

 

zero uses photoshop wtf.

 

inorait?

Thanks everyone else btw, if I get bored later i might open up again and add lighting

 

k, OP updated, lighting on both new ones and a lowered b/w GM on the third

 

text isnt the best choice and the colors seem a tad dull

 

lol i think the 1st one's better than the edits.
I guess it's difficult to get good depth with that technique.

yes very flat, but i still like it.

 

You need to smudge like this:

First, brush like really small, like a dot, in one color. Then, smudge with no scattering (or really low) with high strenght. Smudge with the flow, in different colors. For fisrt attempt its good, i will send you something over msn.
