Entry for Kelsey's Forbidden Dance challenge~ I almost missed it!
See? I can make blue/green cards too! Though I can't lay off the red for the life of me.
Not much to say about this, I've looked at it for so long and tried so many effects that I don't know what to do anymore. The most difficult part was picking the fonts, I switched them a lot before finally settling for what you see. And, of course, I dislike using Stroke Path so Drop Shadow all the way.
Even though it's not too visible, I added shading myself. You can compare the two images below.

Colored manga image: click here - sorry, no higher resolution since I colored it specifically for the card. Feel free to use it if you want to.
# of layers / PSD file size: 44 / 65.4 MB (probably from the big textures)

Thank you very much for any views, comments, favs and/or thumbs up, your contribution makes this card artist happy~
