PSD BASE RULES - REFRESHER & UPDATE

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a quick update on the rules for PSD Base use. Its come to our attention that many pieces are being made as gifts to non-patrons, while I think its very thoughtful it is a little unfair to be sharing this exclusive outside of Patreon.

Our team has agreed that it should be fair to limit this use to non-patrons to 1x gift use per base. This means each base that is released you are allowed to make 1 gift to a non-patron (lifetime) per based that is released but still have unlimited use for your characters. You are also still free to help out other patron users / make gifts for Patreon users but we are just limiting outside (non-patron) gift making to the one outside gift use per base.

At the end of the day this content is meant to be just for those on the Patreon, I need to ensure that this is a fair environment for those here on the Patreon and Discord. I will still be taking the occasional non-patron gift sketch on our art days but for the bases I think this is the fairest move to ensure that the bases are being used for the people who paid for them.

BASE GUIDE / RULES  
- File is PSD, should work in most drawing programs
- Do not redistribute the base/PSD outside of Patreon
- You are free to either 'colour in' the base or redraw the piece (Trace over)
- You are free to add/ change / remove features of the character to resemble desired look! - You are free to change the species from the original base
- You are free to ask a colleague / artist to help with the base so long as its within our members.
- Make sure to check if the layer is locked/unlocked if you are experiencing issues.         
- Personal use (Your characters) has unlimited use.

SHARING RULES
- Completed compressed copy of the base can be shared online. (Your completed copy)
- PSD file can only be shared among Patreon members / Modified by Patrons only. 

NON PATRONS / GIFTS
- Each base is allowed up to 1 gift use for non-patrons, this is to ensure that the content is not being used excessively for non-patrons. (Making a completed piece for a non-patron user.)
- Patrons have unlimited gift use to other patrons.
