Cover to J. Marron's "Hiro" by @stepratt (Stephanie Ratté)

Oy-vey... Here's a pic that took me over 3 hours to do. This pic here is an inspirational cover for a Digimon story I read called Hiro by J. Marron, which centers totally around Joe ^^ This is a ten layer image, a lot of masks and a lot of blending effects. I used realistic-looking BG's to enhance the effect of the original images (both hand drawings on there are separate pictures) I used an "Old Photo" effect for the images on the left to show the sort of "flashback" effect, but it didn't really turn out the way I wanted it to. Nonetheless, tho, it still looks good, and I really like this picture.
