hmm if c4ds don't work maybe on a smaller canvas?
You could crop the sides to make it a pretty neat vert tag

This smudge style of yours looks really neat, but it looks a little empty like others have said...
I think your Samus one turned out better because there's a more intricate colour scheme that was incorporated into your smudging.
Anyway, it's still pretty cool, I think you should keep working to improve this style. :]
