Final study

These are two versions of a study I did for the final. First I wrote the word, smoke, used gaussian blur to blur the word and the motion blur to make the letters look distorted. And I downloaded the set of smoke brush tools like the tutorial said to and used it to create the smoke effect above the word, then I rendered the cloud in the background and covered up some parts of the cloud with soft black brush. For the white version of this, I inverted the whole image. I really like the smoke brush tools.

I thought I could do more than one study, but I have some visitors from Korea at home, so I didn't do as much as I thought I could.

But I'm very satisfied with my final interpretaion.
