Today, You will learn how to make a smudge tag.
Firstly, open up a new canvas 400×150, and put half life(police)render, and fill the background with this color: #111c1e

Now, use brush tool to get something like this, color: #2b5a63

Okay, download my pack http://www.mediafire.com/?wmdlfzdzmmk
Now use this brush, put strength to 85%

Now, smudge it and you should get something like this, then duplicate the first layer

Again, use brush tool, and make this fat lines with color #207685

Now use smudge tool and smudge it and change blending to Linear Dodge

Same process again with brush and smudge, but now put that layer on overlay, and duplicate it 2 times, so now you have 3 layers

Repeat that process several time, and change blending of layers
Ok, now we have this

Use this color #59dcf8, and use brush on his arms, and then smudge it to get this result

Now use some good fractals and change blending to linear dodge

Add gradient maps, photo filter, and color fill

If you want you can add some sparkle brushes

Add some textures, you can find my texture packs on Resources section

Now we will apply dreamy effect, and then make a new layer, apply image, and Filter-Sharpen and you’re done
