HI COMIC CREATOR FRIENDS! I wanna help make your 2023 comic making dreams a reality. If you’re gearing up to put together a pitch for a publisher, editor, or agent and don’t know where to start...here’s a link for you!

This includes a breakdown of everything you need, including a description of what it all means. AND a downloadable basic template to get started.

Most useful for makeup creation, this will allow you to see your creations on different skin tones outside of CAS. These are just quick and dirty edits using color filters intended to give you a  rough idea of what something would look like on someone with a skin tone that is different from that medium peach the default template is in. 

More are beneath the break as people that don’t create find these templates super creepy! 

Download MM Cheap Actions (SFS)

I’ve had these for YEARS & I guess forgot to ever share them publicly? Big oof. These are color actions to match the Maxis cheap appliance/plumbing colors, such as that one pink toilet, with the black from the Ciao/CiaoTime appliances & the blue from the Uni cheaper grungy fridge thrown in to make a more balanced palette.

Actions:

Work best on a medium gray base, somewhere around #a0a0a0

Made with Photoshop CS 5.1

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while and am finally getting around to it.

This is a PSD that I developed for making texture images for new custom roofs as painless as possible. It even automagically adjusts for the fact that the game doesn’t display roofs in the color you intend. Easy-peasy. Well, relatively. :)

The file includes the PSD and a copy of the image above that details how to use the thing and what the layers do. Of course, once you make your texture images, you still need to, you know, actually make the roofs. If you don’t know how to do that (it’s a little more complicated than a “standard” recolor because you have to make clones, but it’s not hard if you already have recoloring skills), there is a tutorial by Numenor here.

Note: You will obviously need a program that reads PSDs to use this. :) Photoshop does, obviously. I use good ol’ CS2, but this should work in newer (or older) versions, too. I believe The GIMP can also read PSDs, yes?
