I would thicken your brushes a bit more for the base smudges, that way it doesnt really seem empty and your the thinner brushes for detailing
here is a good tut for making an interesting smudge base

I don't know how much more I can do, and I have a really hard time adding backgrounds to these kinds of things. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks to help and some inspiration from @MC˛ I started to work on a little abstract smudge tag/practice. This is all I have so far after about 4 hours spanning over about 10 attempts and a shit ton of effort trying to make the smudge look decent and all look the same.
