For any fellow recolorers: My Wood Colors
OK. So. I've gotten a couple of people who've asked me, over on MTS, if they can recolor stuff in my wood colors. My answer is: "Are you kidding? You want to take stuff off my massive to-do list? I love you forever!"
That said, I'm not very sophisticated. I haven't created Photoshop actions to recolor stuff, probably because I often use a slightly different process on different pieces, depending on what it is. A one-size-fits-all action just wouldn't suffice for me. No, I just have basic colors to work from, so I merely have a list of hex codes to use so that everything is more or less uniform. I guess the good news is that because this is what I do, you don't have to have Photoshop (or a program that groks Photoshop actions) to recolor stuff in my colors. :)
So, since I can't think of a good, visible place to post the list on my MTS profile, I'm a-gonna stick 'em here and link to 'em from there. If you decide you want to use these colors on stuff and you subsequently share what you make, I ask only one thing. Well, two things:
First and foremost, I'd like a link to whatever you share, particularly if it's posted somewhere other than MTS, since that's the only site I follow regularly due to general lack of time. This is mostly because I will want to have whatever you make, too, but it's also because if enough people recolor stuff in these colors, I'd like to keep a centralized list of links. That way, interested people can find other stuff more easily, with the side effect that I'll also know what I DON'T have to do.
Secondly: Please, no pay sites. My definition of a paysite is any site where ANY items, even just one, are off-limits unless you pay to get at it/them. In particular, if you put something related to my stuff on T$R and I find out about it, I will send a very ill-tempered llama to spit on you. (Seriously, we breed and sell pack-animal llamas as an income source, and The Admiral, our alpha-male stud, is a dead-eye when it comes to spitting in people's faces, which he does freely and copiously because he is one nasty mo-fo who thinks his "herd" consists of every creature on Earth and he is king of them all and must discipline them all...but, dangit, he makes beautiful babies.) Trust me, llama spit is gross. It is not something you want to endure. That said...I need to make The Admiral my icon... ;)
Anyway, behind the cut is the list of hex codes for all 20 of my wood colors. Feel free to use them as you will on anything you want, with the above requests on my part.

Now that that's out of the way, I want to say that no, I'm not dead, and there's lots of stuff I need to upload. But...professional schedule...crammed...drowning...HELP MEEEEEEEEE! ;)
