Its not directed at you. I know a lot about html code so i set it up so who ever looks at the signature will see their name.

Thank you to all who commented and Chazzy for the advice.

didn't know that ^^'

Taking your advice into account here is what i came out with...

Thats more like it :D KIU dude!

Give it more depth. this is one of your better works imo.
Look at a few smudge tuts. not the grungy ones. the legit ones.

I personally love it ^~^

well, I'll only judge the smudging and not the tag itself, Smudging is alright for a 2nd attempt i guess you're starting to adapt to brush settings but hey i believe you need more details in the smudging and that comes by a smaller brush and being a bit slower at it...what's more important than the details is the flow of your smudge, the smudge should actually follow the flow your render offers.

and yeah about details you should use solid round brush, brush in whatever color that matches then smudge it and so on..

Have you got any good psd's for any works that other artists have done?
They're very useful for learning, if you've got a good grip on all of the tools that photoshop has. If you're looking for some good smudge psd's please pm me I'll give you some.
