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 Pinuptoons. You need a license to use his tubes. You can buy his artwork at CDO

I am using the PTU kit Brrr by Freek's Creations. You can buy the kit at Mystical Scraps
