Magic Bionic Ice Quetzals
I'm as cold as ice
+ 
I adore these but... I know... I don't like the purple eye either... but I can't change it noooow. T_T *cough* if you got this *cough* I'm pretty sure you can DC certain eye edits OFF. *cough*

If I only had... some pants.

Adventure Quetzals
One is questing... one lies in wait
+ 
two .psd's... sort of. It may be little known that most older quetzals have been bred by mashing .pngs for generations and generations... even when the original .psd was available. (old breeding policy and all that) With these I had to dredge up parts of their ancestors and ended up using four old .psds and parts of the .pngs. I always make sure to make usable .psds out of them, so hopefully the future grandchildren of these won't have to be overlays.
and yes I totally took that fire off it's hand and put it on the lantern. (it's been Frankensteined on the parents in ways you wouldn't believe, and I thought it was time to put it to a more usable form)

Oiled Cloud Lunaris
Get it all slicked up
+ 
Two .psd's thank goodness, but O LAWD do I have to??!? T_T
So the cloud babby is hugely complex, and yet much easier laid out, since it's a gen 1. The temptation to just use most of it is strong, but that is not the way!! Both Lunaris had a million layers wither way, so it was a massive puzzle of re-ordering, and lots of blend mode changing to get a not-garish result, especially on the body paint. It's tempting to leave most of those detail layers on with the cloud parent (there are like, a hundred on the body alone), but I've found turning them all off, and turning them on one at a time to see what they actually do, -and playing with blending modes if it doesn't quite look right- always produces the best results.
In the end I felt it still didn't have enough of the oil parent, (and I'd already done the other lunaris with that cloud parent, so I didn't want it to look the same) and I added some oil to the wings. >.>
