XmenFanart Rising Sun

A Happy Birthday present <3
I was listening to Grateful Dead-House of the Rising sun, I know there's so many versions of this song out there, but I liked this version better I guess. It just sounded more gritty.

I just want all of you to know that I'm really rusty. This took me much longer than it was suppose to...
I redid it like three times, and started over twice all together. A few things still bother me, but I doubt you would all notice. It's just my perfectionism kicking in. I'm not going to point them out -sticks out tongue-

I was pleasantly surprised how the neon sign came out. I was playing with photoshop type feature and it's layer styles. Also tried and played with a few new textures with the brushes...There's something wrong with my photoshop lately though, it keeps crashing when it thinks too hard. -shrugs- I draw mostly in OC anyway.
