Now I'm curious as to what TTB wrote as my name
.
Sorry the pic wasn't in-game, here's a bodyshop one, to the left flower detail, to the right whole body view.
As I said before, it's my first recolor, so forgive the TSR likeness in crappyness
ETA: ooh, now i get what TTB mistook my name for, lol it's ok TapThatBooty, mistaking it's human, and thinking my name was that what you thought it's not that hard to do, even more so if name and word share almost the same letters and you weren't wearing your glasses and if you are reading really fast, I find it funny

CYNT!!!
. I do like that top, and for a first recolor, it is really nice. But I would suggest adding a few more details here and there. Maybe where there could be a different stitching to the neck and collar area, change the flow of the fabric, so that instead of it being horizontal, it is vertical. Add some more detail to the shoulder joints too. I can see where you put the flower, and I think it would be a nice little touch to the top, but make it more dominant, please don't take this the wrong way, but at the moment, it looks like a stain on her top, again, I don't mean that in a bad way
.
All that being said, you have done a better job that I could probably do, I've never really tried much with recoloring

Thank you very much TapThatBooty!
Now you mention it, the flower does look like a stain, don't worry, criticism makes for good results later! Besides, how can I hope to get better if good ppl don't tell me the flaws present in my work?
Maybe I should increase the opacity of the flower so it is more visible. Thank you very much for pointing this out, I will continue my recoloring practice so next time i post it's something worth downloading, I'll make the changes you suggest and I'll post it again hopefully it will be better

cynt - As a fan of yellow clothes, I want to encourage you in your recoloring efforts. As TTB said, that flower could use some more contrast so we can see it. Is it an applique, or is it part of the sweater's knit fabric? Looks like knit right now? Also, be sure to take a look at it in game. The lighting in bodyshop is very dark (unless you have a lighting mod), so yellow can look fine there, but be overly saturated and bright in game. My first yellow items had to be redone because there turned out too bright. I much prefer MilkShape for previewing textures. You can easily see any angle, line up your seams, check the UV map, and so on. HP wrote a great tutorial

Thanks CatofWar I'll be sure to take a look at it
This is my second attempt; i made this before reading CatOfWar suggestion about Milkshape and HP's tutorial, thats why its in bodyshop.
I changed color and added little details to the cuffs and collar, I also changed flower's opacity so it doesn't look like cat's sick over the chest of the sim, but i think that flower doesn't look pretty. I also did as TapThatBooty suggested and changed the flow of the fabric so its vertical and not horizontal. Please comment PMBDians, more constructive critics are surely welcome

Cynt, that is a massive improvement on the top. I really love the color of it, it makes me think of Fall, and wine
. The flower is also a big improvement too. It looks nice from the long shot, but a but blurry close up. If you are going for the knitted in look, then it looks ok, but try and make it more sharper. It seems a little alone on the top, I'm trying to think of something that will bring it more into the whole top, instead of just being on the chest. Maybe a stem or a couple of loose petals or something, something that makes it belong on the top instead of being there, if that makes sense?
I feel really bad about criticizing your work, please don't take it personal

Yes, yes, a bendy stem! I love the color of the new top, like a dark red wine.

I'm almost finished with a set based off the base game's Blue Suede Chair. Question: Buttons, or no?
I like the buttons!

Please don't feel bad
as I said before constructive criticism is what makes people get better, look at all the improvement I could achieve thanks to yours and other people's kind opinion.

Thanks CatOfWar, I'm glad that you like the new color.

Thanks for your kind words of appreciation, And about the flower, i was thinking of maybe I could add similar and smaller flowers on the right or left side? 2 or 3 maybe, forming some kind of triangle like this??
but that'll mean to change the flower that's on the chest. What do you think? If not then the bendy stem CatOfWar sugested and the loose petals.

I like the three morning glory design, but not sure how well it would work as a knitted pattern. Maybe as an applique? On a sweatshirt or tee or other top? Just my two cents, you design your shirt however you'd like.
Are those white shadows on the red wine sweater? I suggest putting your shadows in a separate layer from the rest of your sweater, so they stay black. I assume you're using layers?

I used the morning glory image as an example
I don't understand nor see what you mean with white shadows
And yes I am using layers. I appreciatte all hints and the patience you are using to point to the right path, thanks =)

Look at the neckline of the sweater. Right at the boundary between the sweater and the sim's skin. See the white? It looks like there was a shadow there that got its brightness turned way up. Maxis clothing usually has a shadow between the fabric and the skin. I usually chop that out and put it in its own layer, so it doesn't get changed.
