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 this tube.  The tube can be purchased at CDO

I am using the PTU Kit IB Pinuptoons 208-2  by Gimptastic Scraps . This kit is sold at CDO
