FTU Ocean Blues

This tut was written June 18th, 2018 for those with a basic knowledge of psp.

I am using the awesome artwork of Janna Prosvirina  

The tube is called "Daughter of the Ocean"

You need a license to use this tube, do not use without a license.

You find this tube at DAH Store HERE

I used PSPX...but any of them should work.
