Smudge entry.

[T R 1 B A L]

v2 [fixed the oversaturated lighting in top left corner, oversaturated lighting near center, etc]:

v3 [added detail/contrast/more depth to take away negative space and emphasise colour palette]

Overall:

Went for the atmospheric look, used nothing but smudge/default photoshop round brushes, circa 2 hours.

Here's what it looked like around two thirds done:

I'll release the PSD after the SOTW, since it took a fucking while to make.

Brilliant. V3 Is great. I think the orbs of light could be toned down a bit. But otherwise, It's great.

Loving it man, you should go far in this SOTW

Going to be tough to top. Possibly add a little more smudging on the bottom left orb (the one thats showing more) It just seems to bright for the piece.

One of the best i've seen so far!

Nice work, but you need to work on your lighting.
You need to not use a big soft brush and place it so you can see it as a circle.
Play with the adjustment layers and place the lighting a bit better.
