I've been meaning to post on your thread for quite some time now. So...what's your secret? xD How do you do smudging?
Hmm, we have like...the same mindset or something. I see that you also did a tank...and a plane. Lol, I was actually looking for some jet plane stocks a few days ago too. War themes are kinda fun to do.

I too thought I'd already posted in your thread...
Anyway, I love your smudging, it looks amazing and it's really effective. the Yoda sig you made is the best example of this :3

Haha, thanks. I'd come up with a smudging tutorial but I'm just starting out with the stuff too. >.>
One thing though. I don't know how other versions of Photoshop do this, but there is a place where you can change the settings or 'scatter' of your smudging brush.
A few tips that I can say for sure:
1.) Always use a chalk brush or a grainy brush to smudge since it makes it more effective.
2.) Duplicate your stock layer (if that's what you're going to smudge) many times and smudge with different brushes on different layers. Good smudging effects don't come with just one layer.

Oh, hah, that's probably why I am rubbish at smudging. I always use(d) one or two layers for it, forgetting that it's probably better to have multiple layers of it to pull it off correctly.
And you did the Yoga signature? Very well done, one of my faaaavs!

Some new thing from me:
Editor's Note: I only have my 'themed sigs' thread open 'cause that's where I'm putting all my Euro 2008 sigs. If staffers have a problem with this, PM me first before you merge the two or something.  Thanky.
Found some inspirational tutorials on the interweb, and decided to test out a couple of techniques, including using the pen tool.

This is really good. I really love your text too. I'm not really sure what to think with the image though. I don't think I like the idea of meddling with someone's face, even for artistic reasons. =/ That's just me though, but I think you managed to pull it off rather well, so thumbs up for that. The background has that soft feeling to it, which really fits the image of Rachel. Very nice job!

Er, what do you mean, what do I mean? o.o About the face, you mean? I had thought that you did a bit of smudging on her lower face (up to her cheekbones and down)...unless I'm wrong...?

Oh, no. That's not smudging. 
That's just the rippled image and the lines that makes it look that way, which was added for a ripply effect. Faces are never to be tampered with, I understand that.
