Here's a tag I recently made for my friend. It's my very first smudge tag. CnC would be greatly appreciated.
It is not bad for a first smudge, although some points of composition could be improved. The text can be moved closer to her shoulder which will bring attention to her features as a focal. The added flowing hair does not blend well with the contouring of her head. Sweet colours, very soft and sentimental. Hope your friend likes the gift!
Thanks a lot for the comment! She loved it. The area off to the left is just abstract effects added for flow, I just blended it with her hair to give it a more abstract and mysterious feeling.
Like Eve said, its not bad for a first smudge. In my eyes the flow could be done better on the left side. The contrast between the blue/green to tan doesn't looks great, it just pops out of nowhere imo. The shoulder and text look very out of place. KIU
holy smokes this looks cool! the only flaw i see in this, IMO, is how the smudge stops at the top of her head, and you can still see the roundness of her head. i don't know if that was intentional, but when doing a smudge/blend tag, it's kinda important to keep your focal together.. right there, it feels like my eyes get separated from the smudge and realize there's a girl.. whereas if it was all smudged, it would've been like whoa, there's a chick all up in this nice waterfall. also maybe the text could've been bigger.. and now that i see it, a little more depth woulda helped.
