Reflected Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) The background smudge/liquify tool does not follow any flow. The light source on background fights against the direction the light is hitting the render. Also the render is over blurred making the tag lack focal point. The focal is drawn into the upper left part of the tag where there is just random smuding. Here´s a good tutorial to get the basic idea of the Smudging style that´s now in; If you got questions you can feel free to PM me. Edited February 27, 2015 by Reflected
