Tips for this base

1 - When you first open the PSD it may look a little overwhelming, I just have all the layers turned on be default. Try going through each layer to check out which assets you like the most! You may also want to try changing the order of the layers (Bringing different features to the front / back).

2 - With some of the features / layers you will need to do some erasing / adjusting to get a flush look with the main body base. Examples of this would be with the legs, arms, ears and horns, you may notice a bit of 'bleed' where there is excess of the layer. 

Very minor adjustments need to be made to fix this, generally just erase what you don't want off the main base layers!  I suggest switching off all the colour layers when making adjustments to the line art. Feel free to merge / chop / change any of the line art to your liking!

3 - You may want to duplicate the tail or wing views as a separate view of their own as they are slightly hidden off the body. This is helpful to better show detail that may be obscured! More solo part views will be added to future expansions!

4 - This base contains MANY different folders / layers, your program may not be able to open them. If this occurs please try to find an alternative (free or paid) program to use this base.
