Yay you went back to being yourself and doing your own style. I like your style. Your smudging is fun, and cooperative to your flow, and the colors work. The only complaint I have is that you really need to blend the render a bit more with the background. Welcome back to your own style though, it was missed
Great idea i just dont think it turned out the way it could have, the render needs blended better and the bubbles on the right are a bit overpowering, they dont fit in with the redness of the card. good try though but not your best
