I remember making this for a specific purpose but upon rediscovering it semi recently I do not remember WHY other than recalling how I slaved for hours and hours over trying to find just the RIGHT font and getting frustrated that I could not and then I think I just locked this up and threw away the key...only to find it again now several years later

Not much to share in terms of process with this manip other than the black background was a choice because I recall HAIR being an issue and making the background black so I could just use a brush to fade out the mask layer over each character instead of going in with a 1 px brush to try and isolate every single strand of flyaway hair was a thing. Dark helps with the whole wrock vibe anyway.
