Description

I was inspired to make this PSD after realizing that Fire and Psychic shared the same base texture. In theory, this should be more versatile than recoloring official textures (for example, you can add textures/patterns under the clouds; think Link monsters from YGO) and give you more control over the exact colors. I may add other texture styles later but, until then, you can try emulating those with a Spatter effect.

Notes and Tips:

* Cloud Hue and Cloud Color layers (optional) should use the same color, which should be something close to the Base Color (like blues or pinks for purples).

* Opacity and blending mode of the Shadows layer may need adjusting on some base colors.
* You can make the clouds look a bit more vibrant by upping the opacity of the Optional layer under Cloud Color to 25% (I don't recommend exceeding that).
* For darker textures that would have white text, you can either decrease the opacity of the Clouds layer or change its blending mode to Multiply and hide the Shadows layer.

You might be able to recreate some of the official textures with this, but I suggest doing this only for custom blanks since they may not turn out perfectly. Maybe you could do something similar to Sun & Moon where every Type shares the same base texture? EDIT: I've done the latter here !
