1) About the transitions between the different colored parts of the cap, I think that a darker area is needed. I tried a version without these transition pixels, and it looked really flat.
2) As for the propeller, I personally didn't test it but if you want to make it be darker, feel free. Just keep the same amount of colors, orelse my work into changing that art into pixel art would just be useless.

As I previously said, I have no more time to work on that hat. I no longer am a TMW developer and I now work on Evol Online, which is quite time-consuming. I hope you'll understand. In addition, if you edit the propeller yourself, you'll have a better understanding at the work I did, in other words in what pixel art consists of. Don't forget to edit the icon using the same colors used in the spritesheet.

Because nobody has time to finish it (talked on IRC), I spent few minutes fixing the most important issues. I fixed the green-blue transition pixels and made the propeller be a bit darker. Enjoy!

Updated the testserver with the latest version from Ali-G.

Now i have tested both the versions in game..

I made a image for easy comparison so that people can make up their own minds about what cap they would like to see in game, the one veryape wears, or the one kwick-e-mart wears..

I like the one Kwik is wearing, you can see the coptor better.

Also, this may eliminate the need for the pumpkin helm. That hat appears to be big enough for even Charlie Brown's melon-head.

It's just a matter of contrast. We informed me incorrectly about the fact that we couldn't see the coptor very well. Thanks for the info! I will upload a new version soon.

Hey sorry for posting this now, didin't notice it at first, but the right-facing direction has some pixels that are different on the first frame and the later three, could you please fix that too.

Thanks!

Fixed the propeller's contrast, improved colors a bit, fixed incorrect pixels on the direction="right" frames.

Ok, sweet now we have two different versions of the beanie. I can't pick what version I like best and I suspect that I am not totally unbiased eighter since I myself has been involved in some of the graphics.

I would like the community to weight in on this one and pick what beanie they would like to have and wear in game.

Cookie Monster is wearing one of the caps, I am wearing the other in different settings of the game to give you an idea of how it looks in game.

Thank you Cookie Monster for putting up with me bossing you around

Please state what version you like "cooke or ape" and maybe why.

Thanks in advance!

ape. It fits the game better IMO.

ape indeed.

+ape has shading that blends in good
-cookie shading too harsh
my opinion

This hat is like detective gadget s hat

yeah, the one on ape is definatley better, but maybe try something in between? the colors on me are way to harsh, but the ones on ape could be a bit stronger i think. gl ape

I already talked about that with someone else, hence I enhanced them a bit. However, if I do it more, it won't be as good as it is currently, in terms of pixel art. Think this way: the colors used on the previous version of the beanie are way too saturated whereas the ones I used are correct, thus it creates a shock when you look both versions at the same time.
