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 Keith Garvey. You need a license to use his tubes. You can buy his tubes at this store found HERE

I am using the PTU kit Sea Adventure by Gimptastic Scraps . This kit is exclusive to The PSP Project
