Acorn Hat

Post by cookie monster »

Yesterday, Villain showed me a picture of an Acorn Hat. I decided to make something similar to it in TMW. Here is what I have so far:

(sorry I couldn't figure out how to get rid of the CRC banner)
Any feedback/improvement suggestions?

Needs more texture on the cap. Hat should fall off dead player. Otherwise looks good.

Should be traded against 100 000 acorns, make these things gain value !

And it is indeed cool.

I also have an archer used as a shop : Vladshop. But it's not my favourite.

I added a chequerboard pattern on the cap. Is that what you meant or should I do something else?

I was thinking about tying the hat to a quest of a trade of some sort, but I have no idea how to do that :(

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Made it a bit darker and added a reddish tint to make it a bit more brown-y that orange-y.

Great idea and awesome art!

Maybe try making your texture pixels a little less uniform, I can see that they are very much like a "checked" pattern. Disjoint some pixels and be a bit more random in their positioning. I'm also wondering if the outline would benefit from a lighter, more orange highlight on just the side closest to the light source; either place the pixels alongside the outline or on the outline. Have a play around!

Could be worth considering maybe a leaf or two on the actual stem? who knows? :P

Added a lighter border on the left sides.

I tried playing around with this but couldn't make it better. Not so good at this art thing :alt-9:
