How To Create A Custom Character With A .PSD Template!

A while back, I made custom Spelunky characters based on me and my wife. Since I knew I'd make two characters, I tried to set up a Photoshop file that would help me speed up the process for at least one of the characters. I figured this could be a good starting point for others looking to make their own custom characters, so here's a video explaining how the file is set up and how to use it. For more in-depth info about making custom skins themselves and how to get them into the game, refer to this guide by Slime Drips.

These custom characters are really nice! It might be fun to try to make one based on me or one of my characters. Grabbing this template and commenting so I remember to come back later and watch the vid!
