This tutorial was written by me. Any resemblance to any other tutorial is pure coincidence. Please DO NOT claim this tutorial as your own. It was written in PSP 9 but should be compatible with any version of PSP.

I am using the artwork of Elias Chatzoudis. You need a license to use his tubes. You can purchase the tube at his store HERE

I am using the PTU kit Happy Haunting by Manipulated by Magik. Visit her blog HERE to find this kit and more.

Squint Mask found HERE. If this is your mask please let me know and I will link back to you
