Not too bad, I like it, but the colours don't fit (contrast between blue and red).

The smudging is nice, but work a tad more on the flow ;)

Nah... the flow is good, but work more on the colors, as Shadow said, the contrast between blue and red doesn't look good.

thanx guys, that was indeed what i was looking for.... here a v2 after some heavy photo-filters..

oh, well smudge settings are not a (the) secret here...

to make flames or hard edged clouds, you need a verry small round hard brush, and make small (mostly circulair) movements. (took me a lot off practice lol). keep changing the size of the brush every now and then. You might go down 1 or 2 % in opacity sometimes for a softer part.

for the soft smudge, just go a little bigger in brush and make it soft, lower the opacity to somewhere in between 90/100 % again make small movements, but stroke m in the flow direktion this time. Vary in size/hardness and stokelength constantly to keep it lively!!

it is just a lot off work actually, but i like the results!!

have fun!!

2nd version is alot better man great smudging :)

Yeah, smudging really take work...
