WOAH

how did you get that canvas pattern?
║The island bathes in the sun's bright rays║

║Distant hills wear a shroud of grey║

║A lonely breeze whispers in the trees║

║Sole witness to history║

║Fleeting memories rise║

║From the shadows of my mind║

║Sing nonomori - endless corridors║

║Say nonomori - hopeless warriors║

║You were there ║

Thank you! Below is how I got the effect:

1. Make a new layer, and use the paint bucket to cover it entirely (the color doesn't matter)
3. Then go to where it says effects and select the noise option and hit render color.
4. Next, on the layer pallet, where it says "normal" change it to "overlay"
5. Now, going back over to effects select blur, and blur the layer (I think 12 worked)
6. Duplicate the layer. Each time you duplicate it, the color swells and becomes more vibrant.
7. Repeat step six however times you'd like (I think I duplicated it quite a lot)
8. Now merge the layers back together, the layer should be very vivid and distorted now.
9. Lower the opacity (In the drawing, the opacity is set to about 20)
10. Erase any part of the picture you don't want to be covered by the effect.

(sorry for double post '^^)

I messed around with the lighting and made some darker shadows. Also fixed some minor things, like his mouth.
