Material

Animabelle’s important note Tubers have been warned that disrespectful and dishonest bloggers come steeling our tubes they grab them into the folders of material we provide with our tutorials. These people rename and convert the tubes to png type, and then they offer them for download in their blogs, pretending they have done the work. To protect my work, I am therefore forced to no longer provide my tubes with the material. Honest people will understand my way of doing, I hope. I thank them for their understanding. Very important Tip: never take your tubes on these blogs, because most of the time they are stolen tubes. Always make sure that the tubes you take have been signed by their authors ! it is the only way to be sure you are not using stolen tubes Thank you.
