Obviously for breeding purposes, I usually ask that .psds be sent to me to insure a better bred offspring for your pairings by my artists and I. The best way to send me a .psd is to make the edits on SEPARATE layers. If you send me a .psd with edits all on one layer, that doesn't help me at all. What then happens is sometimes the lineart shows up where it shouldn't or colors carry when they aren't supposed to.
I'll write up a thread about how to properly make a .psd as well as explaining all breeding information. Will be helpful yes? It will include screen shots of course.
I've only had this gmail account open for a couple of months and i'm already at 17% of my space usage. This means I get a LOT of .psds. Apparently, i'm not getting all the .psds people are sending to me. Therefore, if you send me a .psd from now on I will reply to your e-mail within 3 days letting you know I got it. If you don't hear from me within 3 days, feel free to shoot me another e-mail.
Also please remember, if you don't send me a .psd and I work from a base .png I can't fix your pet image for you. I'm not smoothing out your line art for you, I can't make your backgrounds transparent, I can't fix your coloring. Your offspring get made with the images we have to the best of our abilities. You are welcome to use your dawn crystals to fix the background and stray pixels and lines of your offspring yourself, but you are not allowed to change colors, or add or erase edits to your pleasure.
If you have any questions, please feel free to post.

I have a question - are you wanting each individual edit on separate layers? Or just baselines on one layer, edit-lines on another? And the colors separated in much the same way?
I've been revamping my bases so they follow the way I do 'em on Gaia - which should help a lot for anyone getting a custom from me -- or just when the breeding staff is going to be using my creatures...but I wanted to double check on that layer question.

Even just having one layer for the base lines and one layer with the edit lines is enough... every edit doesn't have to be on a separate layer, just as long as it's not on the base layer. Colors, shading, etc. as well.

Hnn, shading may be an issue then, I don't find it flows properly to have separate shading layers - I end up with choppy pieces since I "paint" everything down.
Colors separate is easy, I've been doing that now (and as I said, redoing templates =_=).

Oh thank you! I've been very confused about all this, and a proper guide will really help out. Thanks in advance for writing it!

If I just have the psd download link on the pet profile would you get it if I request a breeding? Like, do you even look at the profiles of the pet's lol

Should we resend .psd's witheach breeding? Since I'm sure you don't keep them. There's too many.

I think the forum post would be helpful. I know I'm a little bad with putting some things on one layer, my last recolor (with line edits) had the line art merged together ^^;

Crap... all the designs I've made have all the edits on one layer. :( It's more of a hassle to me now that I have to recreate designs so edits are on one layer.

I hope this makes it easier for you, bumblyboo. I can't imagine how much your hands must hurt sometimes. .__.
