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 a commissioned tube by Arthur Crowe that was made special for Manipulated by Magik.

I am using the kit Deus Ex Machina by Manipulated by Magik. You can buy this kit only at the new site store found HERE
