I made it in my computer using my mouse. <BR/><BR/>The textures were made from squiggling and just drawing a bunch of short straight lines, and then partially erasing them...stuff like that...just trying to make it scratchy. <BR/><BR/>The kanji is not handwritten, but typed and then copy/pasted into the image. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your comments.
