Intermediate [Video] Halo Signature (Smudge)

Just in time for the Battle Royale finale :)

This tutorial is pretty long but it looks really interesting. The artist moves fast but talks through everything so you can get a bit of insight into the process and technique behind making a smudge sig. He also provided all the resources he used if you want to follow along. Marked as intermediate because I think you guys can handle it ;) I challenge everyone on the Graphics Forum to give it a shot!

Done in Photoshop -- the same techniques apply to GIMP, but you might have to use a few workarounds. For example, when he makes "masks" just erase parts with a soft brush.​

I plan on taking a stab at this tutorial this weekend, looks like fun!

Piggybacking this thread with a second tutorial from the same guy. Both look excellent!

First Tutorial, I watched the video and tried to go off of memory. I'm sure I did a few things different

Edit: not sure if I like as much on here compared to the darker background in PS

My result following the first tutorial:

I feel like there's too much dark space at the sides and not enough going on at the top right, but I'm happy with it.

This is my outcome after following the second video. I wish we were allowed to use taller sigs here on the forum ):
