FTU Tutorial - A Black Night Forum Set

 

This tutorial was written by me on January 26, 2012, using my own ideas. Any resemblance to others is coincidental and accidental. This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of psp and is written in PSPX. 

Please leave some love when downloading supplies. The artists/creators work hard to make/share their work with us, so let's be appreciative.  :)

As always, tutorials are only a guideline. If you don't have the exact supplies, use ones you have or ones you choose. :)
