I dig the composition and lighting. I would try and blur out the background to the right of her face. Blur it to the lines of the bottom right swooping smudges you have going on. That should help create some depth the piece is missing. To step it up a notch you can play with effects/distortions/new smudges etc.. ontop of the blurred background to add even more depth.

Oh and maybe add a light source in the space between her right arm and the collar of her jacket. That could help with the (weird) lighting ontop of her right breast.

Find me an interesting render and I will make you a smudge tag and send you the .psd so you can look at it.

or give me a video game, anime, movie, actress, etc that you like and I can look. I'm pretty partial to wanting to smudge a sprite signature. Like the old gameboy pokemon.

i love that render, i once made a tag with that as well
to me smudge would probably be the hardest thing to try when youre coming off of a 10 year break but it looks nice
heres a topic where you can check out some tutorials, it might help you get back into it

ooo ty for this, its been so long, definitely have only been doing things for twitch streamers and started dabbling into ux/ui design, so coming back to 400x150 tags are.. rough
