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 Anna Liwanag. You need a license to use her tubes. You can purchase her tubes at CDO

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