I've been making a lot of recolours with Color Magic and S4PE lately and testing them out.
Here are a few examples of the files I've gotten to work:
This is my one and only download so far:
Have to update most of my files with custom swatches and bundling, to keep everything in order. I hope to offer most of these for download as soon as that process is finished.
The rest of my examples can be found at

I'll upload some larger screenshots when they're available for download. I didn't realize just how small these came out until later.

The tattoo was originally multicolored and washed out or was too bright in CAS (as on the striped dress model). So, I just went back and made it monochromatic and darkened it while upping the contrast. It's alright, but I haven't gotten to a point where I'm truly happy with the results (except one black tattoo that came out perfect). Mostly, the tattoos involve a lot of futzing around and throwing the results into CAS with crossed fingers.
I've found it easier to work in paint.net for tattoo and custom icon dds files because it shows transparency instead of all black backgrounds.

A couple previews of the new screenshots:
More at the above link, since I don't really want to spam this board with images.

Preview (using my favorites):
It's hard to get the swatches to show up nice and pretty in screenshots - should I go over their green outlines in red to make their locations clearer?
I probably spend too much time on the swatches - I add a bit of pattern under my owl logo - it makes the colors varied, but you can't really see the patterns (but I know it's there, so it works for me, personally).
