So I thought try out my Noragami and given I love the anime/manga only made want to make it more! So I kept in the gray zone and made up a texture in using brushes then faded out a few parts. I did nothing to the vector given somehow the gray shades just seem to bring it out in some ways. Put a layer over it, did the hexagon bushes around to act as a frame and got side of some of it in adding to a frame. Did a few smudge and stuff in a few places and added in grunge texture in a few places and took it out a bit. Mostly just thought to keep things simple and throw in a kanji in a few places !

Time: 4 days
Layers: 10
Used: Gimp 2.6
