Well, I'm looking for something to fill the gap, and the font is not the correct one. I am still searching for some good ones.

If you want my honest opinion....remove the text, completely smudge the render, and make a really cool abstract.

Now, I'm not saying do JUST that...by all means continue on with your original design (minus the text still, imo). Just want to see what it would look like is all. Nice colors!

Love the colour scheme, it looks really nice!!
the only thing thats bugging me is.. in the area sort of on the top of her head, the smudging looks dodgy, its too strong a white. Try smudging it next to her head, not on it. It would look better if her head was untouched. Lol or else it looks like she has a torch shining out of her head.
Just fix that and the writing and it will look great.

I actually want it to blend really well...

Version 2:

Her head looks like it's on fire. I think you should get rid of that. Everything else looks great, I like what you did to it.

I think that you should darken and tone down the main area of the smudge, since right now it's just a big expanse of what looks like icing. =P If you were to darken and blur in a gradation, it would put the focus on the figure.

Like everyone said, the light on her head looks a bit weird. (No Offense) Try adding a little bit more sky blue on the light areas, like shading.

But still, it looks incredible!

Your gonna have to wait till I do v3 because I'm in holidays. Sorry. Carry on cc if you want

I'm back!

Less bright:

It's still not toned down in the non-focus area though. Isn't it basically the same thing but the whole thing darker?

I think the smudging is bad, and that pretty much messes up the whole tag for me. Check out some GOOD smudge tutorials (not some beginner crap), and maybe look at some good smudge tags to get your smudge better. You should try to get details into it, not just some random smudge. It's hard to explain, so yeah, check it up.

I agree with the detail thing, not to blow my own horn but, here's an old tag I made from just a render and a gradient background, all I did was smudge it, with sample all layers clicked on separate layers adding detail and depth by changing the layer options(overlay soft light etc) on the way:

This is a different version from scratch I am doing for the SOTW.
