When I heard Stiletto Moody opened up her group with her group gift shoes still out, I went into all sorts of embarrassing squeeing, and HAD to go get them. I was quickly reminded why I don't buy Stiletto Moody shoes anymore, once I put them on. XD
The shoes are nice, but man. Not only are they a pain in the rear to tint, but I can never get them to sit right on my feet. I spent literally, all day yesterday tinting them, rotating, resizing, and making an AO type thing that locks my ankles in place so they don't mess up.
With tinting these, its a constant battle of "Oh, maybe I need more blue" *clicks the + blue button* "Nope. Maybe less red..." *repeat over and over while banging head on desk* I wish more prim feet creators had a notecard of settings for popular skins, like Maitreya does. Maitreya's notecards saves me sooooo much time in tinting.
I think I did a pretty good job, all things considered. They aren't a perfect match to my skin tone, but I have no more patience left, and I don't think I can get them any closer. xD

Hi Sai!
We have a complete web site, which includes a chart of many popular skins & tones from the grid, which is added to regularly. The website also shows how to work all of the fitting and colouring of the shoe. I am also always available to assist in this. Here is the website for future use: http://www.stilettomoody.com/user-guide/ and for colouring, you can go right to this link (the first one on the page has the colour chart of tones & skin makers): http://www.stilettomoody.com/-match-my-color/ It's all step-by-step written instructions with photos for those who prefer visual instructions, for just about anything you'd ever need for the shoes. Hope this helps!

Oh, see - that matching guide is exactly what you guys need, with much more skins and tones... I know many, many people would love it just as much as I would :O
Stiletto Moodys are really difficult for me to tint, even following the steps in the user guide (then again, I'm not the best at things like that)... I even tried the Show Color under Cursor thing, somehow I managed to make them light blue o.O

It's honestly getting increasingly hard to tint feet EXACTLY and have it look right because skin designers are getting crazy good with blending and shading and highlighting their skins. Even if you get an approximate color, it's hard to match up the shading & highlights. It was easier when skins weren't as detailed! :)
