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 this tube. You can buy the tube at CDO

I am using the PTU kit IB Elias Chatzoudis 56-1 by Tasha's Playground. You can find this kit at CDO

WSL_Mask194 found HERE. There are download links on the right side of the blog to get the mask used.
