Before sharing these PSD files, I've got like a bunch of requests about sharing them. Now that I'm using this campaign-freeze as an excuse to share these files (which are basically the same art I've done before), however, I've had an equal amount of people coming to me confused about them.

I'd like to explain them to those who aren't as savvy, but first, I'd like to ask: What's your stance on me dumping my PSD files on my Patreon?

PSDs are Photoshop Document files, and the point of me sharing them is to have all my individual drawing layers, colors and information intact for you to look around and reverse-engineer my steps of drawing.  They usually contain individual color layers (if you'd like to change around one color and experiment on how it looks) and stuff like raw sketch files and outline of the whole piece separated from the colors. You can open them up with Photoshop, Paint Tool SAI/SAI2, and although I haven't personally tried it, Clip Studio Paint. Trying to open them up with a normal image-viewer software might result in problems, mainly because some of the files don't have proper transparency-protection and as such, all whites show as black or transparent where they should show up as white color. 

They ARE shared for somewhat savvier people, but if you'd like to get into how to work Photoshop or SAI, you might also look into them as introductory pieces. It sometimes helps to look at a finished picture's production file to see how the software is utilized to its advantages. 

Some of the PSDs are configured just to make it easier for you to change around the colors of a piece! With those files, I often try to give proper instructions so you're not lost. Lastly, some PSDs are so big, I zip them first - you should be able to open them up with a regular Zip tool. I suggest 7Zip, look it up.
