Smudge tag + B&W = Disaster
The colored version, on the other hand, is quite awesome, the effects are fine and the flow is nice.
I find the small usage of topaz on the effects though really unneccessary.
The smudging seems quickly done, more effort would've made it detailed and it would sure put more depth which this tag somehow lacks IMO.
Maybe more vibrancy on the purple?

And just a side notice, I'm working on smudging myself. I'll reveal my project soon.

agree with bep that the colored is much better

you picked the right hairdo for a smudging bg

also check these areas

looks like low res artifacting to me though

oh it just looks blury because cs6 has this new blur function called Iris blur and well here is a video of it.
i was just practicing with it

That's actually not bad, usually when I smudge (almost never as I don't see the point) it's all just blurry and crappy looking. You worked with it and made it part of the image. I like it. (Referring to the colored version.)

I like the smudge out the render but when it comes too far out the colour completely changes, it would have been better if you faded it into the other colour instead of it changing straight away. But I like the concept of your signature.

Great work, Dylan. Glad you didn't topaz it.

I actually just finished a smudge tag...
