This tutorial is of my own creation and any resemblance to any other tuts is purely coincidental. This tutorial is for personal use only, using it for monetary gain is against our TOU's.

Supplies Needed:

~Gimp (any version will do).

~Tube of choice. I used the artwork of Lix, you must have a license to use this art which you can get from Lix's Tubes Store HERE. *This tube will available Monday 10/1/12*
