There are some tubes with the materials
I’m using a tube from SvB
1/ BL34_KaD_Element1 + BL34_KaD_Element2 + BL34_KaD_Element3 + BL34_KaD_Element4
Alpha Selections : open in PSP and minimize
BL34_KaD_Alfakanaal (this image is not empty – it contains alpha selections)
Masks : open in PSP and minimize
1/ Narah_mask_0296
Textures
1/ Bricks
Color palette :
If you work with your own colors, make your own color palette with the alpha channel,
so you can easily switch between your colors.
There are color differences in the different versions of Psp.
Therefore, use the html codes of the color palette to be sure,
that you have the same colors. Also when merging layers, there may be color differences.

THE TUTORIAL
When working with your own colors, play with the Blend Mode and/or Opacity at your own discretion
From now on I use the terms "MIRROR" and "FLIP" again.
Mirror: Mirror horizontal - Flip: Mirror vertical
Let’s get started.
Remember to save your work often

Color 2 = Color from your tube
Color 3 = Light variant of color 1
Color 4 = Light variant of Color 2
