Next contestant please step up to the plate :)
I'll leave PMing up to you zumojuice
*edit* P.S. I'm sorry... i don't know what i was thinking.
*edit2* I decided to upload a partially flattened psd. Each main element and adjustment layer is still there.
I also have a 35mb psd (400% larger resolution of that same psd) and a 45mb psd (contains every little layer i stuck together to make that thing and various colour layers. Not really important i think, but if you do need to edit something contained in those layers, let me know.)
Oh, and obviously i used a reference photo, but i did paint this by hand (mostly with the burn tool). No tracing.
