This tutorial was done with PSPX
but could be done with other versions.

All of my tutorials are written following the steps I used to make my graphic.
It is my hope that you will take what I provide
and do your own thing with it.

	Remember to SaveOften STEPS - These are the steps I used.
1.	Lets Begin

4.	Changing Canvas Size

5.	Rotating The Body

7.	Halo
	Active layer: halo Layers/ Arrange/ Move Down For some reason when I did the select all thingy and moved the halo it left behind a shadow so I hit undo and used the Selection Tool [S] Selection Type: Rectangle Mode: Replace Feather: 0 Anti-alias: NOT Checked Draw a rectangle around the halo Click inside the rectangle to make the selection Image/ Free Rotate Direction: Right Free: 60.00 All Layers: NOT Checked Rotate single layer around canvas center: NOT checked Drag the halo into place
