So, update:
I've been trying out Photoshop and after forcing myself to use it two hours i actually start to like it.
Doing stuff feels like trying to lick my own elbow at the moment tho. x)
Either way, i've made another drip test with PS, plus one test signature.
Here's the drip:

And here's the siggie:

Yes, it's 95% smudge and yes, it was made while to test the various tools (basically i've brushed the background trying all those sweet sweet possibilities, then i smudged them, liked it and added a render lol).
As for the drip, i've followed the image's lines, so the dripping should be similiar to what a liquid would do, so at least i hope i improved on that side.
P.s. Since i've got PS on my hands, i've always wondered how topaz looks like (how can you love/hate something you never tried?), if somebody has a link to it i'd like to give it a spin, hopefully to never touch it again (The only filter i might be interested in is the cartoony one).
*prepares for the hate wave*
