    I am so creative with titles. *coughcough*

    Messed around with the settings on the smudge tool with this one.

    v1 (textless)

    v2 (with text)

    As always, I suck at text placement. I'll work on the text some more and post another version in a day or two. Forgot to mention, used a couple of fractals and a flare image that Jade made.

    My suggestions for v2 are to make the text flow with the picture, it has a more upward flow so I would have it pointing upwards.

    I like them though. The colours are good and well blended, the render stands out and your eye is drawn to it. However, I would suggest not having her head blend in to the background, it kind of looses her, but apart from that I think they're both fabulous. Keep it up.

    It was mainly a test to get my smudge tool settings at the just right settings to blend stuff in nicely. It took a couple of hours but I got them. I mainly blending Lightning's head in so much because the edges of the render looked really blocky and it looked out of place with the rest of the tag.

    Anyways, here's another version. Changed the text and turned it up a bit and made sure Lightning's head wasn't so blended in:

    V3 is my fav.

    The smudging looks pretty good and everything is blended in quite nicely. The text placement isn't that bad but honestly I think v3 without any text would look the best.
